Community Colleges of Spokane

"My mother traveled here and decided to guide me to choose CCS and Spokane. The people, the scenery, the weather, the activities, they are all so welcoming!"

"I enjoy the ability to talk with my instructors here at CCS, they are so helpful to me!"

"My first goal at CCS was to pursue my dream as a language learner. I wanted to speak English better. Now I am living and working in the U.S. and using English every day."

"What I liked most about Spokane is the peaceful environment. It is where you can focus on what you want to do, interact with friendly native people and learn about the real American culture."

"Since my arrival here, my teachers have helped and taken care of me. When I have problems, I can go and see them any time."

"I was surprised that there were only five students in my English class. I quickly learned reading and writing tricks I had never known before and the grammar class was engaging and interesting! We even took a class field trip to Lake Coeur d’Alene."

"Starting my studies at CCS allows me to get a great background in English while attending law major classes. The coursework here helps me become familiar with the legal environment in the US as well as important expressions and jargon before taking the LSAT and applying to a university to study a Law degree."

"The High School Completion Program is a great opportunity. I can complete my high school diploma and the AA degree at the same time."

"I chose a small town because I don’t want to make any Japanese friends in the United States. There are many Japanese people in big towns such as New York and Los Angeles. And, I heard that Washington state is safe compared to other states."

"I was surprised and happy to see so much nature and beauty even inside the city itself! Spokane has so many parks to explore when I want to break away from studying to rejuvenate."

"The relationship I have with my advisors and instructors are so strong and valuable. They help me through tough times when I’m trying to fit in a new community, reassure me about my potential and my decisions when I’m doubtful and insecure, and most of all, they believe in me when I don’t believe in myself."

"I had experiences meeting people from all over the world and sharing different cultures. In the future, I want to work within the international business sector, and having this experience will help me in many ways at my workplace."

"My most meaningful memory of college was the day I graduated from SCC. I was the happiest person on the planet, I was so proud of myself and so happy to make my parents proud of me."

"American Honors literally taught me how to find my goals, plan them, and move towards them. It worked, and I still follow their ways to be successful now in George Washington University."

"My whole application process to CCS was an awesome experience! The staff was always friendly with fast responses. I can't wait to explore the campus!"

"When I decided that I was coming to the US, shamefully I was lectured every day by family and friends to not go out, not make any friends or interact with the public for the fear of being victimized because I'm foreign. But the people, city, my classmates, the public, everything and everybody was as peaceful and friendly as they could ever be!"

Spokane Community College cooperates with 19 apprenticeship training committees to make classes available for apprentices in numerous trades.

"I would definitely recommend CCS to prospective students. They will really enjoy the professors here. Students can prepare themselves for universities and will fulfill their dream for the future!"

"I have made several meaningful relationships since coming to Spokane.  First of all, I have an amazing host family. If it wasn't for them, I would have never accomplished all the things I have. They are always supportive and encourage me to be best of myself. They are my second family."

"I lived in Seattle for 2 years, and I decided to move to a smaller city. When I told my friend I'm moving to Spokane, he said "what?! Spokane is in middle of nowhere!" I'm here now and I love it and their people."

"I chose CCS because it is one of the largest community colleges in the state of Washington and known for its leading program in Culinary Arts."
