REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingWith how much I have been to this campus, I have learn so much and there are lots of great people there to help you along the way! The student to teacher ratio is low which is great because you get more time with your professors. It is defitanly a large town, with a small campus feel.

Great college for the value! If you're looking for a good two-year college, RCTC is a great choice. I will recommend it to anyone!
Kelsey from Harmony, MN
RCTC is a very lively college with friendly people. The teachers at RCTC are very eager to teach and watch their students succeed. RCTC is a nice sized college and is not too big to the point where you feel lost and out of place.
