RCCC offers a quality education for lower tuition than the universities. It is a great school to launch your academic career and fulfill your prerequisites. The professors and teachers are great and teach to a higher level of excellence such as what you would expect from a University.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take a placement test, go to the orientation, meet with your academic advisor and be sure to take the scholarship writing class too.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
We have had students join our classes from SOU thinking since they had to retake the course it would be easier. This was not the case, and in fact it was more challenging. Our professors do not slack and they make sure you know the materials.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I live off campus, and RCC doesn't have dorms in Medford.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The Medford campus is downtown and there are plenty of local establishments to grab a bite to eat or get a cup of coffee from. This campus has a lunch counter, but not a cafeteria.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Hiking, biking, movies, the Britt Festival, Shakespeare festival, plus we have many parks, lakes and a water slide park down in Ashland. There's plenty to do around the area!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I would say you get more education that what you pay for. The classes at RCC prepare students to transfer to 4 year colleges.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
All students
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I don't get involved with clubs and activities due to lack of childcare, but RCC offers several things for students to get involved in.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
