REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingSince becoming a student at Roane State Community College, I am learning so much every single day! I couldn’t be happier with the quality education I receive from my instructors. No matter the course- College Algebra, Composition, or Anatomy & Physiology- you can count on getting the help you need from qualified teachers who truly care about you as a student and as an individual. The teachers use so many different methods to evaluate how well students are absorbing the material. You can expect to see a variety of quizzes, tests, group projects, essays, lab sessions, group discussions, and more. You can even choose to learn online! I’ve taken traditional courses at 3 of RSCC’s campuses, and I’ve also taken a few courses online, and I have nothing but good things to say about both options. The online courses are really interactive and stimulating for students. In addition to having overwhelming support within the classrooms, students also receive tons of help from the RSCC Library and Learning Center. The Library has access to tons of free resources to expand students’ knowledge of literature, science, and current events, for example. The Learning Center is a gem at RSCC. When a student visits the Learning Center, they can expect to get high-quality free tutoring in math, science, writing, Spanish, accounting, technology essentials, or general study skills. They are also open for personal study time and computer usage. I’m a huge fan! Roane State has given me a firm foundation of knowledge on which I can build a career!

Because it is a smaller school you are able to actually talk to the professors if you have a question, and not just be one of over 100 students in one class.
Roane State Community College offers well educated teachers and staff. I have attended other community colleges and they do not even compare to the level of education I have received in my short time there. I am very pleased with my level of education at Roane State Community College.
Stephanie from Strawberry Plains, TN
If I need help with something I don't understand, the teachers are willing to work one-on-one to get me where I need to be.
