Southeast Community College

"Lack of student activities, extremely boring campus, about half the faculty just simply don't seem to care. Some of the professors seem ok with casual racism. Honestly, most of the stuff I learned here I could have learned online at home for free. Regret ever going here. Wish I could get my money back."

"NDT program is not what it seems. Very difficult to graduate. All the classes were very compact. Tests aren’t relevant to what they teach. Only about 6 students graduated on time out of 23 students. This was back in 2014. Tony the instructor was a terrible teacher, he was also a paramedic in Milford."

"I went through a program where one of the instructors was racist and very biased. I was a tutor for that program and I kept seeing intelligent kids getting bad grades that just didn't make sense. I started paying more attention in class when they would ask a question and get immediately shot down. I started digging a little bit and they told me that they hated the college and told people not to attend. My eyes were being opened to more and more bad things in that program and I felt helpless. I decided to reach out to administration for help, and for a bit I thought they were on my side. We had a meeting with some deans and very highly educated people in the college. They heard our complaints many times and did nothing. I thought it would be best if I took matters into my own hands and decided I need evidence to defend these kids. I started recording classes and I have some pretty disturbing videos of how an instructor teaches and acts around his students. I always thought students payed for college to learn and not be belittled and mocked. I brought these videos to administration so they would have grounds to take action. I was told that I violated the student handbook for videotaping the class without the instructors knowledge. They said I was trying to trap him. Nebraska is a state where legally one party must know of the video and that was me. Administration never did anything more to remedy the problem. The students being affected passed the rest of the tests with the best grades in the class. It feels like they swept it under the rug. I am very sorry I could not do more. If your a minority I would highly recommend you go elsewhere!"

"This school is fantastic on the education side. Instructors do their best to work with you and make sure they are doing what they can to help students succeed. Most of the staff is also very helpful, but the Housing department is abyssmal. They use students to carry out most of their work and handle every situation by issuing fines. During the school day, you usually can't find anyone it the Housing office at Milford campus. My mail has been lost more than once and one package never got to me at all. I wanted to love this school and i may have if the housing department actually cared about helping students. This is a business and students are customers, but here nobody cares."

"The majority of the staff at the Milford campus are very helpful and nice. Karen went out of her way to help me find a tutor. Also the woman who cleans the restrooms is so sweet and does a wonderful job. :) My only complaint is that I wish they were able to offer more science classes so they could get more of a diverse group of students ( and so I didn't have to drive all the way to Lincoln for Chemistry)."
