Kirtland Community College

"This is a "fake it til you make it" school for many degree paths. They are more worried about building facilities (like dorms at a community college) rather than paying teachers and buying training aids for the supposed curriculum they offer. If you are thinking about going to Kirtland for Medical or Art or maybe even Law Enforcement, you might be alright. At least they seem to have their stuff together at least for those fields. The buildings are very nice, as they should be for new buildings. The staff for the most part is nice, although I did not have a single teacher that wasn't vocal about school policies they weren't on board with. Which would only reaffirm my growing criticism for this school overall. I was in a renewable energy class that had the entire class of 20+ standing around one machine (that had a foot print of maybe 2 & 1/2 feet by 4 feet) the entire semester. Even the professor was visually upset multiple times throughout the class about the lack of equipment and training aids, many times calling it a joke. I went to 95% of my classes, did 99% of my homework, and failed 95% of my exams but still got a Degree that says "cum laude" on it. You tell me how that works because I barely passed Algebra. Keep in mind that I graduated H.S. in 1998 so my expectation of education is completely different from younger generations. Quite honestly I am not impressed with today's definition of education. If I grew up today I wouldn't have had to work as hard to be an Honor Student from primary all the way through H.S.. I graduated with an Associates Degree almost a year ago (2023) and waited until now to do any type of review. I was hoping that my anger of being ripped off would go down over the year but as I write this it only returns. Be careful, yes I am mad and anger can be reflected in my words but I tried to be critical without being too bias from my experience. If they had a few right people working in the right places there, the school could actually be amazing for all students and not just some of them. I gave 2 stars and lower because they do have good people there and have plenty of potential they just need to harness it for the student over the school."

"Great location. New facilities. Caring staff. Testing center. Events center."

"Attended a GOP function @ KCC. The atmosphere was very nice and the food was outstanding!"

"I do not recommend their online classes, you are literally paying money to teach yourself everything. Professors are there to give out assignments and grades, absolutely no teaching at all. One would think they would at the least record their class lectures as you're paying for the same thing as someone sitting in the class. Not everyone has an opportunity to attend a classroom setting when they're also working to take care of their family...."
