St Louis Community College

For a JUNIOR college you get what you’d expect a good gen ed basis to transfer to a university with an associates. Teachers and the campus are good, good school, good stepping stone for those who don’t know what they want to pursue yet.

This review is not about the professors or the schools academia. But geez! My cousin moved out here and wants to knock out some gen ed classes so she can finish up her bachelors. Cool no problem right? I did the same thing, knock out gen ed inexpensively here and had it transferred to SLU. I take her to go register… OMG…I seriously had to wooh sa and act like I was playing a game. It is completely and utterly disorganized. Would it kill anyone to type up what is needed for what and why and where to get it? The entire process would go much smoother if there was a sign like there is at the DMV on what you need for what! More time was wasted waiting until you’re finally called and told to go elsewhere because theres a different form needed. Then all the computers went down for something else– it was a mess. Can’t blame the staff for their attitudes, one can only imagine the ratchett ignorance they deal with since the place felt like a high school. smh… get it together please… one big ass sign can make all the difference…

For my career, I’m an elitist snob and want top-​notch classes and academic/​technical rigour. The StLCC doesn’t fit the bill for that, but it _​does_​fit the bill for my personal life, where I want oddball classes to learn new things. I’ve taken both non-​credit and credit classes in piano, ethics, art appreciation, aviation, etc here and they have been high on the «bang for buck» scale… Bio-​ethics with Stopke was really great — he went to WashU and knows his stuff. The art appreciation class wasn’t as good but still SO much better than sitting at home watching TV.
