I cannot believe how interested my teachers have me in their classes. I used to hate government in high school and now it's my favorite class! The learning is on a deeper level, it's not just about memorizing facts anymore. The work keeps me challenged and I know I will be prepared when I transfer to a 4 year university.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I thought I wasn't going to like it, I will admit. But, I actually look forward to class everyday. It's small enough to make new friends (which is always good) but still bigger than high school so you'll probably see a new face everyday. Some of the teachers are fantastic! They will truly care about you and aren't just there getting a paycheck. It's located near a lot of different restaurants and I enjoy all the activities that TCC has to offer.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You are paying way less for the same basic courses that other students are taking at 4-year universities.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't feel bad or embarrassed that you are starting off at a community college, like I did. It really is an excellent way to see how different college is from high school and gives you a great opportunity to learn more about what you have to do to succeed in college. Go to class, read instructions carefully, and make the most of it(:
Which types of students will excel at your college?
-Anybody who wants to save money on your basics
-Those who just aren't ready to leave home yet
-For those who don't know if traditional colleges are right for them
