Fort Scott Community College

"The facility is nice, however, it is extremely unorganized. I went here 11 years ago on a full-ride scholarship and recently decided I wanted to go back to school. I went to get information from the admissions office and they informed me that somehow they must have messed up my scholarship way back then and now I have a balance of $700 I have to pay them before I can even consider going there again. I asked them if they could look up what got messed up in the system for this to happen but they said it was too long ago and there was nothing they could do. I would just have to pay it. I recommend if you do decide to go here to be sure you have them triple check everything in the business office financial department before you sign your life over to them."

"My family has gone here before me and let me tell you, they did it while having kids. This place is amazing. I am currently going to college here now and as infatuated with it as I am it is still school and is still class. Yes, I admit, I get bored and tired of it with their 8am classes and their need for Freshman Orientation in sections. I am in the 2nd 8 weeks section and already have learned the fundamentals of how to work around Blackboard and Gizmo. I also may add I had classes in the first 8 week section and those teachers taught me how to work around all the things online related. The teachers are amazing and the staff behind them are as well. I am doing this whole college thing on my own and financial aid has been there to answer every question I had as well as advising. Freshman Orientation is NOT needed. :( But alas I deal with it because I am a broke college student that is required to take this cursed class."

"Hands down, best decision I’ve ever made was picking Fort Scott. The only down side is I wish this school could be a university. Picking a next step college was tough when compared to this school - literally in all areas. I contemplated just getting a second associates! The teachers are hands down amazing, all staff in any department you go to - dining, fees, bookstore are all super friendly. I came down and was on the rodeo team as well and I’ve never had a better head coach at any sport."

"Great school. I enjoyed my time there a great deal. Every instructor was very helpful and respected students. It is very easy to get time one-on-one with them which I've learned isn't necessarily so elsewhere. They also offer free tutoring for every class(Mr. Dobbins is the best in the business). The advising office helped me out on multiple occasions and I was even able to work part-time for the college. I met a lot of great students, faculty, and staff while being there and was sad I had to move on. As with most things in life however, you will have to put out some effort to find success. I would strongly recommend this school to everyone!"

"This college is awful. There are a few decent instructors but there are more crappy instructors then anything. The business office is awful, financial aid office is anything but helpful and are more concern with helping the student athletes then the other students. Speaking of the athletes, they have first dubs on classes and the instructors must let them sit in the front two hours and the other students were told that we were not allowed to sit there. Do not go here if you can avoid it."
