Am learning a lot
I have taken both online and in-person classes at Stark State. The professors here really care about your future and your quality of education, no matter what class type you attend. The smaller class sizes and individual attention from the professors allow any student to have to chance to excel.
Am enjoying being here
Stark State offers a great college experience. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa, which is the academic honor's society at Stark State. It is fun to meet new students through the many programs and clubs, and it also gives you motivation work harder.
Bang for the buck
I pay for college without the help of financial aid or student loans. It is possible to do this at Stark State. The flexibility of the school schedules allows me to work full time while being a full time student. Also, the reasonable credit hour prices allows me to get a quality education without breaking the bank.
Tips for prospective students
Get involved! Get the most out of your college experience. Stark State offers many different clubs and activities, and you can easily meet new friends. Also, the beautiful campus has many areas where you can easily meet new study partners that can help support you to succeed.
Great for these types of students
Students who might need a little help along the way will fit in perfectly at Stark State. The college offers free tutoring at the Tutoring Center- which is open during flexible hours. This center has helped me maintain my high GPA when I felt like I needed a little more assistance in understanding a topic- and it helped me prepare for exams, as well.

I am learning quite a bit here. Each course provides very decent information and it is hands on which helps me learn more than just pure lectures. I already had basic knowledge in my major so I'm not finding it severely helpful like most people in my classes are.
Am enjoying being here
I love the relaxed feeling Stark State provides. All my classes are full of people in my field or a similar field. I enjoy talking to everyone and have made a few trustworthy friends.
Bang for the buck
This is an outstanding college for the price. The price is super low and mostly everyone can afford it. It provides intelligent and helpful information for a very affordable tuition.
Tips for prospective students
Do homework on time. Show up to class daily. Have good contact with the instructors.
Great for these types of students
Motivated. In need of assistance. Shy to outgoing. Basically about every student type fits Stark State.

Most of my teachers are amazing people. They make learning a lot easier than it was in high school and are willing to stay after calls for additional help. The teachers are with the students not against them. And with updated technology in every classroom it makes the learning experience a lot better.
Am enjoying being here
I've become friends with most of the people I go to class with. The school isn't that far away and I can meet up with people in the area. Everyone is ubber friends (besides the people in the cashiers office) and the teachers are very helpful.
Bang for the buck
This school is not a community college. It is a advanced learning atmosphere. Tuition is low but the stuff I learn in my classes is the same things people in liberal universities are leaning. I can complete my degree in a short amount of time for a very low price.
Tips for prospective students
Check out everything a school has to offer. From it's classes, teachers, tuition, activities, EVERYTHING. Ask loads of questions and get ever information down on paper so you can take it with you to help remember for later. Don't settle for any college. Set your standards high and strive for great things, no matter the cost.
Great for these types of students
Any type of student can fit in at Stark State. Though it's a technology college I go for massage therapy. I love my program and the people in it and it's very advanced learning for Ohio.

In three sentences
Good Community College. Nice small campus, easy to navigate. Small class size and lots of personal attention from instructors.
Tips for prospective students
Study!
Food and Dining
Food is decent, nice little cafeteria open all day. Made to order sandwiches, etc.
What to do for fun
Since it's a community college there are not a lot of campus-based activities.
Bang for the buck
Good price!

I feel the school is geared toward helping everyone achieve their goals, and from my experience, you get what you put in. If you are there for every class as you should be, you will learn plenty.
Am enjoying being here
I love, love, love going to school. I love the challenge, the wide diversity of people, and I love the professors. I have had a great experience.
Bang for the buck
So much for your money. The only problem with such an affordable school is the wait time to get into the program of your choice. However, it is much better than paying 3 times as much for another school.
Tips for prospective students
Challenge yourself to do better than you think you can. I was a C student in high school. I started college after being out of school for over 20 years. I have had nothing but A's in my classes so far and that is what I EXPECT from myself. I feel I am setting an example for my daughters. At least I hope I am.
Great for these types of students
All types of students do well at this school. There are kids straight out of high school, to grandparents attending school there. Everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, and gender should do well at this school. So what are you waiting for? Apply already and do something positive for yourself. I am!
