I've
typically found that people involved in the Information Systems field
of the school have been very friendly, both teachers and
students. There are a few teachers that are clearly
teaching out of a book, but most I've had classes
with genuinely know what they're talking about, and have been
in the field for many years. Also, some
of the higher level classes teach you the same thing
you'd learn from hundred or thousand dollar courses. For
example, for $210, I got the same education on Windows
Server 2003 that I'd get with a comparable $750 course,
and I got college credit for it on top of
that! I also took a 100 level course that
taught the A+ curriculum, and even prepared you for the
A+ exam.
I haven't really been involved in the “social
scene” of Meramec, but I've found people to be typically
sociable at the school. Also, there are an abundance
of programs that you can attend that are held all
the time.
Overall, in my personal opinion, I get the
same classes that I'd take from any of the MO
State universities, for a lot less money. And, if
you're on a tight budget like I am, it really
makes a difference. Plus, STLCC's certificate programs make it
really easy to give your resume or job training a
boost. Going to Meramec is a decision I don't
regret.
