Doreen - 07/18/2024

I really like the college. Professors are friendly and accessible. Class size is not so large that instructors loose people in the crowd. Parking, however, is a nightmare right now because they are building a garage on the regular parking spot so students have to park further away and in downtown traffic. That is my only complaint.

Heather - 05/16/2024

I've had a great experience since the first day I went into the financial aid office. I had just went through some depressing times in my life that made me almost not even want to start college, but I'm glad I kept my appointment. The staff was wonderful and being able to explain my situation with my financial aid counselor, and having her just listen to me instead of trying and run me off like I was just another number made all the difference to me.

Myah - 05/02/2024

I believe that they are extremely supportive of our growth, both academically and personally. They prove wonderful support systems and truly care about your goals and plans for the future. The staff on campus make an amazing team and put their best foot forward for their students.

Andrea - 07/28/2020

JCTC offers perhaps the most important thing to students at any stage in life - flexibility. The KCTCS system is integrated which means online courses can be taken with any branch of the KCTCS system, not just JCTC. They offer an enormous selection of classes online which helps busy students customize their learning schedules. Even more impressive is their variety of classes offered on campus during the daytime and evening. So if you don't prefer online classes, they still have flexible options for you to fit into your busy schedule. Their staff and faculty seem genuinely interested in seeing you succeed and have helped me solve any issues I have had. Whether you are just starting your college education or returning to college to start on a new path, JCTC makes completing your educational requirements more than attainable.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    A lot of high school seniors stress about college. Thoughts become overwhelmed with, "What am I going to do for the rest of my life?" Looking back on myself as a senior, I would tell myself that a high school diploma does not mean that I need to have a finalized map of my life right then and there. The first couple years of college are designed to gradually figure out plans for the future. My biggest advise would be to explore all the different options.

  4. What's unique about your campus?

    I consider the ease of picking a class schedule to be the best thing about my school. You are able to take morning classes, afternoon classes, evening classes, weekend classes, or online classes. This works out extremely well for me because I have a busy work schedule, as well.

  5. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about JCTCS is that some people see it as an "easy" school because it is a community college. JCTCS requires the same amount of work that goes into a degree at a four year college. Community college is a way to choose a degree and begin working towards a suitable career.

    Jefferson Community and Technical College is a valuable starting ground for eventual transfer into a larger University because of the variety of general education classes, the avid attempt to keep classes transferable, and the affordablility of the education.

  7. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    My school was, in my mind, the top contender for my selection. The main reason I chose to attend JCTC is because of all the programs they offer. The main program that caught my attention was the ULTRA program. Which is a program that allows students the opportunity to transfer to the University of Louisville after either recieving 24 credits or after two years. Another thing that drew me to my school was all of the on campus help. Everyone is so eager to help you through the processes. It was a blessing to have such people around.

  8. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I think the main thing that I could have prepared myself for better, is the expectations. The educators in college have much higher standards. Some are more willing to compromise than others, but it's never to the point where you can slack off. I think the reason they are so aggressive is because they know that high school was kind of a light precursor to the challenges that college brings. College is on a whole other level from high school in every way. There is a lot more freedom, but with that freedom comes responsibility.

  10. What kind of person should attend this school?

    My advice for someone trying to decide wheter JCTCS is right for them, should first ask themselves if they are willing to work hard. JCTCS is the first step to achieving a degree in the desired field. Students who start out at community college have a higher chance in succeeding when they get to a university. Hard work in college is essential in the process towards a successful career.

  11. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The most frustrating thing about my school is the timing of some of the functions. I do not really feel like I get to participate in some of the traditional activities that most college students get to enjoy. I think some of this has to do with my job, as some of the activities and meetings I would like to attend take place during the day, while I am at work.

  12. What are the most popular student activities/groups?

    I often hear about the English Conversation Club. It is one of my favorites due to the fact that you can actually converse with people from all different countries... even continents. It adds to the diversity level that makes Jefferson a strong--bold school.

  13. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

    There really is no stereotype. I've seen people who were old enough to be my grandparents and students who are fairly young. Old to young, International to people from all across the nation as far wide as Hawaii and the East coast.
