Amazon Prime’s television series, The College Tour, provides prospective students a look at what it’s like to attend featured colleges and universities from a current student’s perspective. The series strives to make college visits accessible to all, regardless of geographic location or economic circumstances. This fall, students from all ten Maricopa Community Colleges (MCCCD) share experiences from their respective schools.
Four students from Scottsdale Community College (SCC) were chosen as tour guides for this season’s series, which offers unique episodes for English-speaking and Spanish-speaking audiences (both versions offer closed captions in English).
Among their many reasons for selecting SCC, these featured students cited affordable tuition, small class sizes, and exceptional faculty.
Amaya Ellis, a nursing student, needed to attend classes online so she could care for her family. Curtis Wilmer, a psychology student, is re-careering after years in corporate finance and real estate. Alondra Moguel, a first-generation student in the DACA program (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), works full-time as she pursues her dream of becoming a dentist. Flexible classes accommodate her work schedule. Camila Maldonado, an international student, selected SCC for its award-winning Dance Program. Hands-on experience with nationally recognized choreographers provides her with real-life training.
