Review of Truckee Meadows Community College

from Sparks, NV

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I had dreams of going to a giant college. In my senior year I destroyed my chances by failing math. I was devastated. TMCC was really my only option. My first day I walked in with the attitude of pessimism and negativism. I was so so surprised by the calibre of the teachers and the atmosphere of learning that surrounded the college. I learned more my first week there then I did throughout high school. I continue to be excited about what I'm going to learn each day.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

While I was attending I found out about a school competition called TMCC Idol. I got talked into trying out and not only got in, but got second place in the competition. I had so much fun! The school really invites you in and everywhere you go your surrounded by great people.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

TMCC is ridiculous cheap, especially for the amazing services they provide. Most services are free, tutoring, printing, library services, academic advisement. My English teacher actually said she had never worked for a school that was such a bargain.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

TMCC isn't a very hard school to get into and if you take it seriously you will learn so much. Register early so you can get the classes you want. Don't be afraid to use the tutoring center, its completely free and there for the students.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Anyone who is strapped for cash and wants to be in a great environment for learning.
