    Had the pleasure of visiting here while performing my work related duties…read more A huge thank you to Kai Swanson. What a wonderfully nice man. Cafeteria left nothing to the imagination. Every possible food item you could want Great learning atmosphere. I wish I was college age just so I could attend this amazing learning institution Thanks for the great tour and lunch

    This college looks impressive on paper and during campus tours, which is exactly why my child chose…read moreto attend. Unfortunately, the reality was very different and the decision turned out to be a major mistake. Students are treated more like high schoolers than college adults, with policies and oversight that feel controlling and out of step with what most families expect from a university. The most alarming issue, however, is how the school appears to handle rape and sexual assault. From what we witnessed, the system seems to protect perpetrators far more than it protects victims. Individuals accused of serious misconduct appear to face minimal consequences, while victims can feel ignored, blamed, or even vilified for speaking up. That kind of environment discourages reporting and raises serious concerns about student safety. Drugs and alcohol are also clearly present on campus, yet the systems meant to monitor and address these problems seem ineffective. We did ask questions about safety and student well-being before enrolling and, unfortunately, believed the reassurances we were given. In hindsight, the reality did not match the rhetoric. Overall, the college does a very good job marketing itself and creating a positive first impression. Unfortunately, our experience suggests that the reality behind the brochures is far less reassuring. Families considering this school should ask difficult questions about student safety, accountability, and how serious incidents are actually handled.

    What a beautiful campus but yet so small. The child will be attending here in fall so we came and…read moreconquered. It's a beautiful campus, small compared to so many others that we saw. The College is actually of Catholic background. Lawd knows if I was attending there would be spontaneous combustion since I am banned from churches, but it's not about me so let me stop. The actual dorms are rather roomy and nice. It was hard to leave my signature when it came to financial portion, but hey the child will have an awesome education, so it will be worth it. The main office is located in the vintage portion of the college, that kind of scared me- but once our tour was started, I quickly saw the newer and safer buildings that were part of the campus. Wow, these kids will have better eats then I did. They have their own restaurant which of course has three courses from breakfast to dinner. Really good and healthy food too. And their gymnasium is pretty big also. I think that I you decide to go here (and it is 3 hours away from Chicago), you will be impressed.

    My low rating pertains to mainly the doctorate of physical therapy program. I felt as an undergrad…read morethat I was groomed for acceptance to the DPT program but was denied every time I applied, even though I followed all of their instructions. I majored in exercise science and had no other options for a career once I graduated with my undergrad. They did not look out for me or care what happened to me once I graduated. This is not a one time occurrence. Someone close to me was also completely screwed over by Ambrose's DPT program. He had to transfer schools mid-program due to Ambrose's misguided and unfair program. They told him false-promises that resulted in a worse situation for him. He followed all instructions from director, Mike Puthoff, to be able to stay but was thrown out and abandoned without remorse. Overall, Mike Puthoff is a two-faced, unfair, and mediocre program director with DPT passing rates plummeting ever since he took over. He has poor management over instructors in his program and has yet to prove any care towards the students he teaches. The material taught at Ambrose is mediocre at best and needs to be re-evaluated along with their director.

    They can't keep a lot of their staff and faculty. There are many reasons for this, one being that…read morethe college is putting up a new building downtown, but people have worked there for years without getting a single raise. Because of their unethical (and sometimes illegal) employment practices, class sizes are expanding. Every year, dozens of adjuncts who have never taught before are hired to teach advanced courses. Some of these adjuncts receive little to no training. Although the school claims that all of their adjuncts go through an orientation, this is just a categorical falsehood. It's really sad, because this community college serves a combined statistical area with a population of over 470,000. Most students will stay in the area, becoming part of the workforce. For many of these people, Scott Community College is the only option they have for higher education. This means that Scott Community College has a monopoly on failure in this community by providing unsatisfactory education and thus an unprepared workforce for almost half-a-million people. If Scott Community College were a branch of the military, they'd have more court-martials than the Caine Mutiny.

    Came here to give a presentation…read more Nice little college...although it is a little hard to find. SCC gives out USB's to students with a green effort to reduce using/printing papers. Now, that's something that all colleges and universities should be doing. I applaud SCC. In addition, SCC bans smoking on campus. You gotta cross the street if you wanna smoke.
