Columbus State is a very diverse campus with very user friendly classes that contain plenty of options for your future! I enjoy learning about other people's lives as we all come together with one main goal, a degree. The classes offered here are extremely flexiable and it's easy to maintain a job while earning your degree!
Review Columbus State Community College
Columbus State has been the greatest experience I could imagine for my first year there. In the beginning, I found myself very confused on how the college process works. Student central, a very popular building located on campus, has made me more confident and comfortable than ever. The employees there make it easy to simply walk in, or call, and ask any question I need to know. They will explain from beginning to end what needs to be done. Neither of my parents have been to college, so it has been a little challenging doing this all on my own. The counselors at Columbus State are always there to help guide me in the right direction. I have worked very hard to get as far as I have, and I give thanks to Columbus State for that. There are plenty of educational opportunities, free tutoring, group studies, etc. Overall, I could go on and on about how outstanding the campus and academics are. I could not have picked a more perfect place to start off my college experience.
It's very easy-going. Nice and affordable. The teacher's I've had always have been great and kind! The place is very well-managed, rarely ever do you see trash floating about on the campus
