Johnson County Community College

I had a worst experience in this college with certain prof. in Interior Design department. They will differentiate you based on your nationality. There are some very good and talented prof. are in that department, but due to certain people you will get overall worst experience. Waste of money and time. I heard good about the college, but you will experience the reality after joining that course. Definitely not going to recommend this college for Interior course to other nationality. Invest that time and money somewhere, where an education is based on knowledge and hard work and not on the nationality.

In early 2016 I wanted to change careers. I signed up for a tour, and I was just blown away by how nice this campus is. So, at the age of 39, I was a college student again. The enrollment process was very easy, and everything could be done online including applying for financial aid. I enrolled in evening classes because I was working during the day. I was interested in a degree with an emphasis on Accounting because I remembered doing well and being interested in the subject when I had to take an Accounting class for a different degree. As for the quality of the teachers, I was mostly pleased. I took Accounting 1 from Mike Megaris. I loved the energy he brought to the classroom. He was good at staying on point during the lectures. One thing I'd change is doing more problems with him in class because there were several times I came across homework problems that I'm sure weren't explained in class. I took Accounting 2 from Anthony (Tony) Wayne. That was the 1 teacher I didn't like. Anthony wasted so much class time telling stories instead of teaching. I did well in Accounting 2 because I had help from 2 other students and because another JCCC teacher, Dave Krug, posted his lectures for Accounting 2 on YouTube. Thank you, Dave! One night for Accounting 2, Sasha Gluhovsky had to sub for Anthony. I wish she could have taken over the class because she was amazing. She's the reason I got an A on the 1st test in Accounting 2. I needed to take an econ class, so I enrolled in Microeconomics with Frank Syracuse. Frank wasn't just knowledgeable about Microeconomics. He had a passion for presenting the info in a way that the students will understand and appreciate it. Listening to him explain diminishing marginal utility using Whoppers from Burger King as an example was awesome. I took Managerial Accounting with Robert (Bob) Henn. He was an amazing teacher. He can explain complicated Accounting concepts in a way that makes it so much easier to understand. I had no idea Accounting could get this complicated when I started this journey, but having teachers like Robert makes it less intimidating. I also took an online class during my last semester that I enrolled in at the last minute because I was short 3 credits to complete my degree. It would have been nice if the people keeping track of that warned me before I started the last semester. I ended up taking a Microsoft Office class to refresh my skills in Office, to fulfill the credit requirement, and because I knew Excel is often used in Accounting offices. However, I did not enjoy the experience. This is not the fault of JCCC. I enjoy doing many things online, but I discovered that I prefer to take my classes in a classroom where I can talk to the teacher face to face and study with other students. The very first department I interacted with at JCCC was the Academic Advising. Each time I enrolled in classes for the next semester, I always talked to an academic advisor to see what classes I needed and what they thought would be good. That helped me a lot, and they were always happy to help. I didn't utilize the Career Development Center until was I close to graduating. They did a great job of helping me update my resume. I loved that I was able to order the books I needed online ahead of time and pick them up at the bookstore. I didn't love the college textbook prices, but they are expensive everywhere. The library and the computer labs were great places to study and get work done. The cafeteria also had a nice selection of food. I was only there 1 year (2016-2017) because I was able to transfer my college credits, but I really enjoyed my time at JCCC, and I highly recommend that high school students consider attending JCCC instead of jumping right into a 4-year college. A 2-year degree might be all you need for your career. Even if it's not, you will be able to transfer credits from JCCC to another college and save a ton of money on tuition. Shout out to Charlene Collins, Deana Sturd, and Joanna Georgiana for helping me get A's in my classes!

Best community college since it opened in 1969! I graduated from there in 1998 and have three kids going/have gone. Affordable, especially when you see the campus and realize how many amenities there are, which are included in the tuition price, including free tutoring.

I've been to several college campus' and this one is probably the best. Every single building, hallway, and room is always clean and every employee is super helpful. If i were to nit-pick, its annoying that all the toilet paper is 1 ply. Great campus, great experience. Ive been going here for 2 semesters for transfer credits :)

Been going here for nearly one year. The "face-to-face" courses are good to excellent. The online courses are horrible, with no videos, little communication (takes 24 hours to respond to a simple question), and the professors no updating the modules/syllabuses from one semester to the next. Also, paying the same for online and "face-to-face" courses, so for a poor online courses, I feel ripped off. The dept chairs are no help either.

Absolutely unacceptable. I was driving on I-35 South 930am 11/19/23 during the 60 MPH Zone and one of your drivers was riding my tailgate while I was traveling 60 mph then switch over to another Lane and ride tailgate again on another car doing 60 mph. And when the lane cleared your driver flew by me easily going 70 or 75 mph or faster speeding no point for your driver to be aggressive driving. She needs to take one of your driver courses

Great college with excellent professors. The small class sizes are nice, plus you can interact with the professors more. The cost of tuition is pretty great, with discounts offered for non-Kansas residents within the greater metro area.

The Finansial Aid Office is so unhelpful. There are no scholarships for single mom with low income, full time, in STEM. Because of this, I had to stop my studies.

Minus the fact that this school is one of the lowest rated school in the nation for parking.. the staff is friendly, and there are SO many helpful resources to keeping your grades up. I'm a mom who went back to school after 5 years and this school is the best way to do it.
