I miss going to school here. If you are local to the school, definitely go here and knock out your gen eds. Make sure to pick up an associates degree just so you have it under your belt. They also have a lot of great programs and certifications. Based on my experience, class size is small and the teachers are great. I will say, if you need extra help from the teachers, be sure to ask when their office hours are and sign up if prior notice is needed. There is also a few lab rooms where you can get help for English, math and science.

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. Im a mom who went back to school after 5 years and this school is the best way to do it.

Excellent school. Very nice buildings and classrooms. The professors are knowledgeable about their respective fields and do well teaching that knowledge to students. When the campus closed due to Covid-19, my professors did an excellent job transitioning to an online format and encouraging students to go ahead and finish out the semester.

Cheap college. Student drop off rate is very high every semester. Good luck...teachers makes it so hard but associate degree is not worth that much.

I started here feeling hopeful. I had taken the T.I.Ps program and absolutely LOVED my professor and the director. I even got a 2k scholarship out of it. However, things took a huge turn my second semester. I had some personal things happen to me and was unable to focas on anything. My math professor, Gulati, (I think) was not very understanding. I set up mml the wrong way and did the work too. However, I was expected to enter it the right way, by the next day or else I would get half credit. She even said that there was a way for HER to do it, but she wasnt going to a year later I had problems with another math professor, Darlene Hatcher. I was taking online class and I had the FLU and she had assigned 7 different things in 5 days. 2 of them were tests. I explained that I had the flu and I needed extra time. I also mentioned that I had accommodations and you know what?!the answer was still, no late work for any reason,.no extra time shall be granted. Do your best. IWhat do these professors get out of treating students like that?!How does it benefit them?! I could do a better job teaching than most of these people and I dont even have a degree!(NO THANKS TO JCCC!)Do you know why?! BECAUSE I WOULD CARE ABOUT MY STUDENTS!

I would 100% recommend this school to anyone. It is clean and well maintained. The professors and staff are always willing to go above and beyond for students. I didn’t realize how clean this school was until I transferred to a different school. I miss the cleanliness so much and it has such a beautiful campus with nice gardens.

Great school. The professors are pretty good and are very willing to help you if you are confused. The campus is nice, and safe, and the cafeteria has good food. Lots of study spaces, and plenty of parking. Cheap tuition is also a plus.The only issue I have is that social activities on campus are rather lacking. Not many clubs either. Overall it is still a good school though

I graduated from JCCC and they are the best school! I went to university and didn’t enjoy it as much as here. The teachers are great. I like that most of the buildings are connected (depends on your major tho.) The hours of classes are very flexible with work/home life. I took my time and it worked out:)

Wonderful asset for Johnson County. Helpful courses for traditional and non-traditional students. The campus is actually quite pretty, and it has good dining options and a museum (Nerman) to boot. This school seems to be keeping up nicely with the times. I anticipate its relevance and impact growing over the next decade.

In general I think this is a great school. However, I would steer clear of the graphic design program. I started there and honestly the faculty are not very helpful or professional. I feel that I wasted so much time and money with them. I finally changed my major and went on to have a great experience at the school. I just wanted to let other people know that program is lacking.

HVAC program was a mess. Don’t tell me I can start in the spring to pursue my certificate when there is no advance classes offered in fall semester to graduate. Waste of time. Waste of my GI Bill most importantly. Head staff does not care about this situation which is sad to see. Screwing the whole class that started in the spring. They got their money though, I’m sure they are satisfied about that.

One of the top rated community colleges in the country. Many diverse programs available. Cullinary institute. Art museum and education programs. Health, medical and agricultural programs . Police academy. Performing Arts center and education programs. Atms, food service, counseling and bookstore. Parking garages and lots. Bus service.

I wish this was a 4 year institution because there isnt a better place to learn. The teachers really are great at their jobs and care about the students. I appreciate having their guidance to help correct some of the major transfer credit issues I had coming in from an out of state school.

Great place when I attended. Staff was always helpful, the design is close so you dont have to walk far between classes, architecture is pretty good. Wasnt a fan of the parking garage, just because people have no idea how to use it, my car was hit a few times while being in there. The addition of online classes over the last several years has been nice as well.

Best school ever! Low tuition costs($93/credit be for Johnson county residents, $110 for Kansas, $220 for out of state), kind staff and really fun events throughout the semester! It has been a blast being a student there the past three years! Plus the cafeteria has a Chick-Fil-A, firehouse subs, and a pizza hut! This has been a great college. I have graduated now with two degrees, without even realizing it. I will miss this college.

My time at JCCC was an amazing experience. The campus is beautiful and very easy to navigate as the majority of the building are connected. The library is spacious with dozens of computer stations and desks to study at. They allow 100 pieces of paper printed for free, which really came in handy when taking writing intensive courses. The majority of my instructors were great. Comparing my courses at JCCC to my current 4yr university, I genuinely feel that the level of education I received at JCCC is equal, if not better. Aside from high quality education, one of the key selling points for me is their affordability for Johnson County residents, which has allowed me to attend several years of college without accumulating any debt. The only negative thing I could say about JCCC is the parking. It is not conveniently located and is very crowded.

Review №34

So Im done with this school. Your staff is incredibly rude. I cant get proper help at the math resource center because apparently Im cheating by asking for help on a math problem, I cant go work out without your rude staff telling me conflicting reports on if I can actually use it or not and I can NEVER get help in the writing center. I paid a lot of money to go this school and I fund it through taxes. EVEN if I didnt pay to go to this school I still deserve to use your work out room. Either that or your school needs to remove the COMMUNITY part out of your sign. It also doesnt help that your teachers dont seem to care either. They are either to busy or your question is dumb. I will not be attending this school. I also think this school should lose any federal assistance its getting.

Carlsen Center is a great venue for dance, theater and music events. All seats are good and the acoustics are excellent. We have seen many plays and show in Yardley Hall and a few in the intimate Polsky Theater. The quality of shows they bring in each season is exceptional especially for the price

I got my A.S. !!! online, good prices for great education. I have taken many continuing education classes also, some for pleasure some for work always good information. The only thing I didnt like was there were no days with late hours for talking to a counselor, I was going online because I work 45 hours a week, had to take a day off to do the graduation counselor stuff.

My experience is based on the fact that I didnt give 100% when I went here. I do seem to remember the staff not being the friendliest. But the price is right and its one of the best community colleges in the country.

Review №38

This college is ridiculous. The professors are unprofessional and dont possess good teaching skills. They actually expect the student to already know what they want. The outside campus is somewhat up kept but the inside of the college is nasty. Financial Aid is a joke. If you have an outstanding balance on your student account you cant make payment arrangements let alone enroll in other courses. The workload is just a mess and unnecessarily over the top. The resources they offer are unhelpful especially the AAC and the Math Center. This college is overrated and if I could give it zero stars I would. The only thing this place is good for is the extracurricular programs they offer like Drivers Ed.

I went to JCCC for 2 years and completed my Liberal Arts and General Science degree, Fall 2018. There is honestly not one bad thing I have to say about Johnson County. I thoroughly enjoyed being apart of the student body and acquiring my Associates degrees.The campus is very pretty with brick walkways all throughout. Most of all the buildings are brick and are really pretty as well. They have been doing a lot of work around campus the past couple years, keeping up with the foundation, and adding plenty of new buildings from the culinary school to the new arts building. There is also plenty of statues and other art pieces from students and artists all around the campus.I went to school just to get my Associates, but JCCC offers a variety of different extracurricular activities from clubs to sports teams. At the beginning of the fall semester, they have a plethora of vendors, schools, and jobs who set up tables and try to expose students to future careers, other universities, and what JCCC has to offer.As any college, professors here and there were grouchy and below average, as with anything else, you just have to learn to deal with it.Im going to miss my time as a student here, but Im glad I can finally take what I learned and move on to bigger and better things with my life!Thank you for the past couple of years, JCCC. You will be missed.

JCCC has been a totally fabulous experience. Public Education was my focus as a parent, teacher and community member. Kansas City area has provided excellent educational resources such as JCCC. Teachers, staff, and students have all been very professional and respectful. Positive ATTITUDE and EFFORT are the rewards of positive communication and relationships.

Review №41

I purchased one of the $20 mini courses that JCCC offers in their continuing education section. It was just a 10 minute video! I expected it to be a basic overview for the price, but $2 per minute is a major rip-off. I recommend you take one of the free webinars offered by KU. They are FREE, 45 minute, live sessions where you can actually ask questions and interact with people.

Beautiful campus! The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art is a must see, a high end showcase and impressive collection. Friendly and helpful staff to navigate around, lots of art sculptures around the campus, family friendly, wheelchair accessible and elevators inside. They serve The Roasterie coffee inside Campus Center and south end of Carlsen Center. Parking is free including parking garage.

Review №45

I took three different classes here: Chemistry 1 (plus lab), differential equations, and history. Ive taken classes at five different universities, and JCCC classes were some of the BEST classes Ive ever taken. I was really surprised at the high quality of the instruction and demand for excellence. Not only that, but as a JoCo resident, they were by FAR the least expensive classes Ive ever taken. I cannot say enough good things about JCCC, and thats from someone with two masters degrees (MsED - KU, MSMechEng - UMKC).

As a past student and employee of JCCC, I will always recommend this college to anyone seeking a educational or employment opportunity. The campus is BEAUTIFUL and the accommodations are some of the best. Faculty and staff are some of the best around (not that Im biased!)I have to also admit, I attend multiple other 4-year colleges, and JCCC provided the greatest educational value in the area.Schedule a campus visit today and you wont be disappointed!

I went to school here part time for 4 years and worked here for 8 years. I have taken many course from many professors in a wide range of fields. I spoke with many students and professors. This school is an incredible resource for anyone trying to get some where better. In short, if you work hard, choose your professors wisley, get involved on campus, and use the resourses offered to you (they are abundant), not only will you succeed but you will have a lot of fun doing it. School here can be really exciting and challenging. It is such an incredible opportunity to have a school like this. There are many people working very hard to bring opportunities to people. I hope that it can continue to grow and offer even more avenues for people to grow and improve.

Great school and campus but the old man in the gymnasium building is so rude. Hes flat out ignored me multiple times while reading his newspaper and cookies. To try and make it easier on him Ive scanned my id myself before and he got so mad at me. I tried greeting you multiple times and the only way to get you notice is if I scan myself and the beep gets your attention. Plus Ive seen him make the athletes at jccc go look for their ids (or just wont let them in) even though theyre clearly there for practice. If you dont wanna be there then he should go work somewhere else. Honestly if it wasnt for him JCCC would be perfect.

Review №75

Unless you got a full ride to some top college, you have to be pretty stupid not to attend a college like Joco. If youre a Johnson County resident then youre only gonna be paying $85 per credit hour. If youre not then its still only $100 per credit hour. Compare that to Kansas Universitys $318 per credit hour... Its kind of a no brainer. You are getting the EXACT same quality of education here than any other state school, but at a fraction of the cost. I got a full ride to go here, and if you have any talent at all there are MANY opportunities for scholarships. If youre broke, dont hesitate. The college is so cheap, your PELL grant will pay for all of it! This is what education should look like around the world. I hate seeing people come out of college with loads of debt that they will be paying for most of their life. Its just not logical. Get half of your 4-year degree out of the way by coming to Johnson County Community College!!!

Review №76

Starting college at JCCC was really beneficial for me. The tuition is low, which lets you explore your interests before settling on a major. The night & internet classes accommodate a day-job. You can earn an associate degree much more cheaply than at a typical 4-year university, then transfer to UMKC & receive an automatic Transfer Award scholarship ($1000 per semester) to finish your bachelor degree at a discount. By attending more than 1 college, you meet a wider variety of teachers, classmates, & local business partners.

My mom attends schools here and I come up here quite a bit to help her do alot. Never had any problems everyone is always nice. Until today when I learned of a rule that you cant be in a computer lab unless you are a student. Ive been in numerous computer labs with my mom and I never do anything except sit there and wait for her to get done. I wouldnt be here today but my mom fell on her back last week and cant drive. So I had to bring her. She is putting on a fashion show on the 23rd and had to do some work and meet her models here. Now I cant even be in the same room as her and I have no idea how to get around on this campus. Let alone I probably wouldnt be able to go anywhere else but a hallway because Im not a student. I do realize that rules are set in place for a reason but they dont even have a rule like that at kckcc. I mean come on thats ridiculous that I cant even sit there while she gets done. And also if one person is going to enforce rules then everyone does because it wasnt just an hour before now I was sitting in that same computer lab minding my own business and no one said a word to me. This is in the Regnier Center lab 335.
