  • I am at SCC to raise my GPA and then enter into a 4 year university. I have a few teachers that help me with the scholarship applications which is very appreciative. Even though this is a community college, it should be treated like a university. You really need to work in order to succeed. But, that's what I really like about this school...the challenge.
