I loved Cincinnati State. It is a great way to quickly earn your degree. They offer plenty of services to help you find a job or transfer to another college. The professors are very knowledgeable and really care about you as a student. The class size is small so if you have questions it is very easy to ask your professor.

Over all is one of the best things I've could have done in life. It's great! They are very on hand. I don't have a problem when it comes to getting help. The tutors are special. Even though I'm disable, its ok because no one makes fun of me. I feel normal and my grades are wonderful.

I chose Cincinnati State as the place to start academic career before transferring to a publid 4-year university because it was close to home and far more affordable than a traditional 4-year school. I found the classes engaging, student social life satisfying, and the quality of academics comparable to the courses I have taken since transferring to the University of Cincinnati.

Cincinnati state is an excellent college populated by students who are there to learn. Lots of students who have spent time in the workforce and are there to better themselves. Lots of students who are working and paying their own tuition. With students invested in their money working for them students are focused on their academics and not as likely to be skipping class to party. The grounds are well maintained and the clubs are fun. It is a good school for a reasonable price. The teachers seem to really care about their students and the study help centers often have volunteers who can help when a teacher cant. Cincinnati state is a good school if you are looking to for a place to learn not party.

I really enjoy the streamlined academics of my program here. I am in the ITP (Interpreter Training Program) at Cincinnati State, and I feel that I have learned so much! There is lots to do on campus but the class sizes are small and perfect. Highly recommend this school!

Cincinnati State is a great school to go to, starting out. It will get you ready to continue your education at a 4 year university - by giving you the skills necessary and by allowing you to save money (due to their cheap prices compared to 4 year universities).

I’m currently working on my second degree there, so it’s safe to say I really like it. Tuition is affordable and the campus has had so many upgrades it’s incredible. There are a ton on degree and certificate options for students. The campus is diverse. Ethnicities and age wise. The campus food is cooked by the culinary students and the are honestly amazing. Also we have free food and supplies events where they really help out students and families.

It’s a very nice campus inside and out. Love the landscaping, lots of parking as well. Inside it’s beautiful how they made the college. The teachers and faculty are amazing, super sweet and will definitely help you as needed! The class rooms are nice size, the library is huge.

Cincinnati State is a great school for so many reasons, the school focuses on academic achievement, community involvement, and the health and wellbeing of the students and faculty, and so much more. I am taught by some of the leading professionals in the industry who use these tools daily. The faculty are very supportive, my advisor returned my call as I was completing this essay and we spent an hour on the phone discussing my plans for next semester. I’ll have the opportunity to be a part of an annual national film festival. Student life is amazing, there are so many opportunities to get involved on campus and in the community. Oh, and did I mention, students and faculty have free access to a fully equipped gym with personal trainers. The school offers free childcare, so students and faculty spend more time focusing on providing a better future for themselves and their loved ones. Cincinnati State encourages leadership and teamwork, as a member of the Cincinnati State College Coral, I’ve had countless opportunities to sing with my colleagues at various venues in our community. I am so proud to be a student at Cincinnati State that one of my life goals is to open a Non-Profit Audio Video Production afterschool program for underprivileged youth in a neighboring community. The goal of this program is to introduce the youth to the opportunities available in Audio Video Production and for those who are interested, encourage them to attend College at Cincinnati State.

Its a small community college. Small classes and plenty of teacher student time to go around. Staff always available before, during, and after classes. Students very friendly. I was nervous going back to school after being out 22 years and everyone made me feel welcomed.
Cincinnati State Technical and Community College FAQS
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Cincinnati State Technical and Community College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.
What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Focus on what you wanna do the most and stride for it. Do your research on colleges and opportunities. Apply what you know to better help others and walk together and help each other.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
The type of person that should not attend this school is a person who is not willing to interact. A person who is not motivated to do something in life. A person that is not socialable and that is not culturally diverse. This person can not be afraid of learning.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
Before I started college at Cincinnati State I wish I would have known better time management skills, layout of the college better, the workload that would be placed on each student during each quarter, where the learning services departments are located, and also which professors are the best so that I could have signed up for their classes before getting stuck in a not so great class.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
I think the worst thing about my school is the administration does not seem concerned with student success or achievement. It seems like many students are just going through the motions of school with no real goals or plans of action. Lucky for myself, I was able to take control of my college career/goals and now I feel like I have a bright future, even if I did make a few mistakes along the way. Unfortunately, many students drop out or give up because they just feel defeated. The path to success is rarely a straight line.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
I feel the most frustrating thing is people not genuinely being concerned with your education. I feel the staff, for the most part, are overwhelmed with the amount of students they are required to meet with. The lack of one on one concern is the most frustrating part of attending Cincinnati State.
The type of person that should attend Cincinnati State would be someone of middle class or lower middle class whom is looking to get a good education for a very affordable price.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
Cincinnati State has some of the most challenging and engaging technical programs in the state, and also has one of the highest post-graduation job placement rates in the state. The technology available to the students is both abundant and advanced, unlike other community colleges I have visited. I feel as though my fellow students truly take pride in the accomplishments they make academically and are able to make connections with the faculty. As a first year Surgical Technology major, the dedicated faculty of the ST program have been incredibly invaulable, providing the knowledge and respect essential to my success.
The best thing about my school is that it is culturally diverse with all different age groups as well as traditional students. The students as well as the great faculty make my decision for going here. I love the atmosphere!
I think Cincinnati State is perfect for those who are putting themselves through college. Its very affordable, but not only that, you still get a great education. The education isn't compromised because its a cheaper school. If your going to college to get an education and not just for the "college experience", then Cincinnati State is a great school.
