Good reviews

I came to get a certificate to help me get more opportunities in what I want to do. I love my classes and professors I had and I enjoyed being part of the different clubs. It only sucks because of the pandemic we cant go to the campus for class or clubs anymore. I miss it. Im glad I decided to go.

One of the better community colleges!

QCC has always listened to my concerns and has been attentive to my needs as a student. My hope is that many things will stay virtual for incoming distance learners. I have attended some various club meetings and some seminars and events. They've all been lots of fun and very inclusive.
Overall 4.7
I started at QCC to get my degree as a seasoned adult. I love it here I wish I had gone straight out of high school, so many great programs, from physical, job hunting and mental health. When the faculty say they are here for you they really mean it and go above and beyond to help, all you have to do is ask or show a need.

I love Quinsig. Because of this school I made life long friends, met my soulmate, I'm getting my degree in criminal justice and I wouldn't have it any other way with another college. I'm glad I made the right choice to come here.

this school is complete garbage. every semester you will have some type of problem whether it be with financial aid, advisors, or the professors themselves. the nursing program is a complete joke too. barely teach subjects, power points suck. not enough lecture time. stupid assignments that take hours to do and only count if you pass. dont go here
Overall 1.1
You will find that 95% of the professors act like they are doing you a favor. No one responds to emails regarding assignments, and many give absolutely no feedback when grading. If you want to just get credits, fine. If you want to actually learn something, go somewhere else. After all of the fees at QCC, many 4 year schools are priced the same.
Overall 1.1
Campus is at a terrible location, most of what they have is outdated, and parking is a disgrace. The course offering schedules are poorly planned where you can't take what you need because it's either not available when you need it, or it overlaps with another class you're taking. They've cut down on things they needed to keep over the years.
Overall 1.4
Very poorly designed campus, including the interior of the buildings. Average at best faculty. Advisors don't know anything and give terrible advice, if they bother to give any at all. Parking spaces are way too small considering 99% of the students don't know how to park and it ends up costing people a spot, and not enough spots in general.

Rock bottom

I'm getting the credits I need, and I'm only here for a semester. Definitely wish I checked out more community colleges before deciding on this one. Some of the professors are really cool, but you get treated like you're in high school. This is pretty much a high school. Can't wait to be out of here.
Overall 1.6
OVERRATED AND NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE. THERE'S ALWAYS ISSUES WITH ADVISING, FIN AIDE, AND BUSINESS OFFICE. BE EXPECTED TO BE GIVEN RUN AROUND. LONG HOLD TIMES VIA PHONE CALL, AND LONG RESPONSE TIME OVER EMAIL. NOTHING BUT HEADACHES FROM THEIR MANAGEMENT ( WHO ARE APPARENTLY STUDENTS WHO HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEY ARE DOING). ALSO UNSTRUCTURED ON BLACKBO
Overall 1.6
It is literally a over whelming sense of feeling like being right in the center of mean girls. it gets the job done barely. Everyone in this place does the bare minimum. I think its great for people going to school later in life, or transitioning, if you go to QCC for actual learning. Financially it costs about the same to go to WSU so yeah

Campus police are proactive in the lots for the most part, but there were constant hit-and-run accidents against parked cars. Parking is terrible and the main campus is notorious for bad traffic. Public areas typically crowded. Most people kept their heads down and went to class, didn't feel like the normal college social scene.
