As a first time college student at the age of 24 I tried to enroll into SSCC while living in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle. I was very unsure about college and the field I wanted to study and hoped to find some guidance from anyone at SSCC. Instead I jumped through residency loops, was sent to different departments of the school, asked to return for orientations and workshops, given packets of worksheets and due dates for them. Just before the end of it I had heard an instructor of the START NEXT QUARTER program give a lecture to all of us trying to enroll, about how expensive school was explained the limitations the school had to provide useful tools in certain fields (Pastry Chefs according to the instructor, were expected to spend $3k just on books, cooking tools, and aprons).
The first time I registered into college was in Portland at PCC. I had no clue what I was doing and expected the least. YET! I was given the best of direction by the staff. I started by grabbing a number like you do at the DMV (how sad the school system has become) but when my number was called I was given the chance to talk to a real live adviser! VERY MUCH unlike my experience with SSCC. They gave me the information needed for registering for classes and how to take my tests. They also helped me plan ahead in what field may interest me and what degrees involved such path.
Dont get me wrong I was frustrated as a first time student at the age of 24, with PCC, but after deciding to move to Seattle and try to enroll into SSCC, I thought about jumping off a bridge, after writing an essay to the local media explaining how disheartening my enrollment experience was with SSCC.
As a final note, I’d like to conclude with the fact that PCC allows neighboring states the same tuition as residents of Oregon. I was dumbfounded when I found out as a homeless/transitioning person of Seattle, I was going to be charged x3 the tuition as residents of Washington.

I am currently going through the registration process and I will say I have had better experiences by FAR. The various offices involved in Registration (Financial Aid, Advising, Transcript review) know little or nothing about the other offices and on multiple occasions have given no or wrong information. In dealing with Financial Aid I have often gotten a general response to a question, rather than the person actually looking at my file or records to give an accurate answer. Overall, the people are very nice and trying to help, it just seems the school lacks the organization or management needed to be effective.
As a side, I am a 38 year old who has been through a number of college registrations and have found the process particularly frustrating and unorganized. I can only imagine being a first time student and having to deal with this. Yelp, Username: David G
The best college ever. I got my culinary degree and then BA in Hospitality Management and loved everything about this college, from its diverse campus and programs offered to its friendly, knowledgeable staff who constantly try and enrich the school and contribute to its growth. The culinary program is one of the best out there and helps students understand the industry at not too crazy prices like some of the other schools in the area such as the Art Institute and Le Cordon Bleu, which might sound good, but in reality not only waste a lot of their product but don’t help students get good hands-on experience. Most importantly, South understands that students are taking courses usually to try and become responsible, working members of society without years of college debt, and always helps students with job outreach and financial aid.

Hmmm. I’ve been to every one of the local colleges I think, and this one is one of the easiest to navigate by far. Great library, great admin staff and in general, an easy process if you’re looking for a school to attend.
I will say that the teaching staff here is hit and miss, I’ve had some of the best instructors ever and then a few that were really in the wrong profession. I’d check online to see what others say about them before choosing your classes, it varies widely between the different options and it can make or break your experience.
As a campus, it’s well laid out, has a bakery and a really great food service option as it’s got a culinary school there too. Yelp, Clover A
I bought a math code from their bookstore. They didn’t tell me there was a deadline to return the code. It was a brand new code. They told me I couldn’t give it back because it was a day late. $145.00 down the drain. Go to amazon for your books. Yelp, Username: Elliott H.
This is honestly the best college I have ever been to. I have attended Seattle Central and Bellevue and this one is the best. The instructors I have in the HMG program are amazing, they are always available to help and I have never received so much support from a school. They’re really there to help you succeed and support your before, during and even after the program! Love it and I highly recommend this school.
other ratings: the bathrooms are always clean and well stocked. Well lit, only thing is parking is a little narrow in some parts of the lot. But I have never had any issues with parking or with the school office. Yelp Username: Philcia
