Most beautiful campus in world, great instructors', best experience, I love it. I love the price and would recommend this college to anyone. The best part is the Umpqua River in the background makes you feel safe and want to learn. I will miss this school when I transfer but I will always call it home.
Quaid
Umpqua community college is a good beginning college. It has a solid education and friendly students. The professors are always ready to help, and often go out of their way to help you from falling behind. The facilities are acceptable, not too fancy, but always clean.
Michel
Umpqua Community College is an amazing place with a very small town feel. The class sizes are fairly small, so the professors know everyone by name and are always willing to help you or answer questions after class. Umpqua places a high value on athletics and they are working hard to improve both their facilities and programs. The athletic community is very strong and supper supportive of one anther. The atmosphere has always been warm and welcoming and the campus is beautiful. I would recommend Umpqua to anyone.
Houston
Really beautiful campus. Lots of great professors who are knowledgeable, helpful, and care about the students succeeding. Students can be friendly. Parking is not the greatest. Financial aid people are very friendly and helpful. All around great school, easy to get a degree.
Teala
There's plenty of resources, but if you don't know your way around, or know about all of them, it can be a bit confusing and hard to get to. Not everyone communicates to necessary parties, but they try their best. On the upside of things, everyones really nice and friendly, plus diverse and accepting of who you are and what your background is. they try their best and thats the important thing.
Hannah
I believe it is a good college with lots of friendly people and classes that provide majors and education people and students need. I think people who live in Roseburg or close to the College would go here to have and feel that homey feeling. Overall it's a great school.
Ravinder
Umpqua Community College is a place where you get the opportunity to know who you are as a person and discover what you want to do in life that interesting to you. Umpqua Community College provides many opportunities for kids to learn and provides many scholarships and financial aid for those who need it. This is my opinion about Umpqua Community College.
Krystal
Given the atmosphere, the students and the staff make the experience memorable. We are a campus who thrives on teamwork with any events going on; we love to get the word out any way we can. There was however a school shooting on campus and I know that it has effected a lot of people and since then they have had more security and safety protocol. It has always been a great campus either way.
devan
The main thing I don't like is the drive, it takes me 40 minutes to get there, other than that it's great. The class size is very small, 15-20 students max and the professors are very approachable and helpful. They keep scheduled office hours and are always willing to help. The food is good as well.
Katy
I have been attending this school for three years and I am graduating in two weeks. My first year and a half was pretty good. I was very involved on campus with clubs and student life, but when I started getting involved I learned more and more about the college and became unhappy. They really don't care about their students even though they say they do. In some departments you can tell students are not on high priority, but in other departments students are put on high priority. Many instructors are teaching out of date material along with instructor getting so far into their careers that they don't care. Over all I am glad to be graduating so I can move on to a better school.
Dallas
My overall opinion is, Umpqua Community College (UCC) is the place to be. The campus has facilities that are up to date and able to give me an education that helps in my current field. The staff all care, my first term at UCC I was welcomed to visit my teachers and I did, and they were more than helpful. Some teachers have even fed me. The campus is very beautiful and is vibrant with students all over the place sitting at lunch tables when it isn't raining. Overall you should keep Umpqua Community College in mind
Autumn
I think that UCC Is a great community college that really believes in their students and does their best to set them up for success. The staff is very friendly and makes sure you know what you need to, and is always there to help. They do a great of keeping the campus neat and looking good, they really put a lot of effort into what they do.
Snowy
Umpqua Community College has really improved a lot of things since the shooting that happened on campus. Since that happened less than 2 years ago, there have been a lot more security officers patrolling the campus and a lot more support groups have been established. The building that the shooting happened in is now being turned into a memorial for the ones who lost their lives.
Ciara
The school is small. It has a beautiful campus but the academics are very poor. The people who work there some are nice but most higher positioned people are rude. Students are limited on space indoors for winter months. The school food is very poor and the class schedule options are poor.
Summer
I really like UCC, I have lived in Roseburg my entire life and have always felt a type of community (no pun intended) from the college. I love going here, I feel like everyone is so helpful and the teachers are great too! They're all so willing to help and love teaching.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I graduated at 17 & had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I had no interest in studying more, much less focusing on a career. I ended up going to college but goofing off and it cost me in both tuition.
The best advice I would have for myself would be to get out in the world for a couple of years and see what I enjoy doing for work.
I ended up in a job doing working with a construction crew. That experience was the inspiration I wish I'd had as a senior.
I'm not saying college isn't right for many or even most seniors. I'm suggesting that although I always had the plan to finish college one day, I may have saved myself considerable heartache by finding the path for me first.
If I had the option, would I go back & tell myself all this wisdom? No. Even though it would make my life easier to have a degree already and have a successful career, I would have missed the challenges and the learning curve that has made me who I am today.
The best thing about UCC is how local it is and how accessible it is to everyone in the county. There have also been a lot of recent improvements to the campus, such as adding parking spaces, repaving the sidewalks, and adding more classes for the influx of students that we have had recently. There have also been additions to the staff to handle the increases. Overall, everything is handled very well and the faculty are very accomodating and helpful.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about Umpqua Community College is how liberal it is becoming. The student government and the administration is becoming increasingly difficult to work with. There has also been a large increase in the number of students, so classes have gotten crowded and parking has become difficult to the point of impossibility.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
I get mixed answers from different counselors about the classes I need to take for my degree. Also, for what classes would be helpful for when I transfer to get my bachelors degree.
I have previously attended six other junior colleges and universities, and although certain majors tend to attract more younger students than others, I would encourage any man or woman, of any age and background, who has an honest desire to better themselves and find satisfying work even in a rural area, to take action and talk to a counselor at UCC, then follow your dream and start classes here, so that you and your family can have a better tomorrow.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
The campus is local to me, which I needed in order to still be able to support and care for my family. It is also very environmentally friendly, which I care a lot about. The grounds are well kept and peaceful to be around. Above all, the support I have received from my educational advisor supercededs all of that. He really helped me get my foot in the door and point me in the right direction.
We've got a good relationship with the state colleges in Oregon and the instructors and advisors are well-versed in the curriculum at those schools. The instructors I've had are all top-knotch and most go out of their way to give you all the tools you'll need to succeed. We've got a good technology department (computers, surveying, engineering, electrical) and a pretty good nursing program that has been steadily expanding in the past few years.
