REVIEWS

If you check out your teachers on ratemyprof, I find you can get the best education for your dollar. The teachers I picked based on good reviews are excellent, and motivate me to learn.
D from Virginia Beach, VA
So far, all but two of my teachers that I have had were wonderful. If you are majoring in sociology or Microsoft Office I would research your teachers hard before signing up for your classes.
Carly from Virginia Beach, VA
I just completed my first degree in culinary arts. All the teachers in the program are currently in the field. The education received from the chefs is more than just information from the book. The chefs share personal experiences and past mistakes, which I have applied to my own career.
Christine from Williamsburg, VA
I'm majoring in Culinary Arts and learning the many aspects of the food service industry. The textbooks and instructors provide essential information and are both excellent tools of the learning experience. The courses I took last semester contained valuable information as well. All of my instructors are helpful and provide assistance when needed.
Adrian Howard from Hampton, VA
All of the classes are challenging, and interesting. There are many choices in the course selections and have flexibility. I recommend anyone to attend TCC prior to transferring to a 4 year university.
