Junior: I absolutely adore ETSU! It has been such an incredible place to call home. Coming from over an hour away, and never having been to Johnson City before, I had no reason to believe this would become home for me. Despite this prior hesitancy, this place has become home. From the other students to faculty and staff, you are more than just a number here. Some larger universities it feels as though you are just another check to the university's bank account, YOU ARE NOT HERE. These people care and the location is beautiful. The faculty pushes you to go farther and beyond just the walls of the classroom. Study abroad opportunities are bountiful, and internships are easy to come by. I feel so perfectly setup for my life after college. I would suggest anyone to become a part of the Buccaneer family if you are looking for a wonderful college experience.... Read 1,445 reviews

Junior: I am currently enrolled at King University studying communications. I completed my associate’s degree at a local community college, so choosing a school that accepted my transfer credits was a top priority for me. I am a full-time working student with a family so the decision to go back to school was hard and scary. The idea of spending less time with my husband and child along with the financial burden was not taken lightly. The five-week, fully online course lay out has helped me focus on one class at a time while also being able to work and spend time with my family. King University’s financial department is very helpful and wonderful to work with. They have given me advice and walked me through all the steps I needed to make smart financial decisions that we were comfortable with. All online courses are affordable for a middle-class family. I am excited to further my education and am glad that I selected King University as the school to do that with!... Read 432 reviews

Sophomore: My first year of Milligan University was more than I could have ever hoped for. Having lived in one place for my entire life, I was scared to move to a completely new place where I knew no one. The students and staff at Milligan made me feel instantly welcome and included. The staff is some of the best that I've encountered. They care for each and every student and strive to make everyone the best versions of themselves. The courses are enriching and allow me to expand my knowledge on the world around me. The RA's are some of the sweetest people I've met, and they always make sure that their residents are comfortable. Not to mention the beautiful campus in the middle of a gorgeous mountain range. I love my view to class every morning! I can feel the spirit moving on the campus. We are truly a family, there for each other in the good times and bad! Chapel has been such a blessing with the incredible speakers and students on the worship team. I am grateful for the community at Milligan!... Read 325 reviews

Sophomore: At Northeast state, the professors and the staff were very helpful and polite, online and in person; they were able to help me find the information that I needed and put me in the right direction anytime I was lost. The students there were great to work with, I enjoyed reading what they had to say in the online discussions, and I enjoyed the conversations that would follow sometimes too. In person classes were nice too. Being surrounded by people helps when you need the opinion or advise of someone who is pretty much in the same boat with you. There would always be someone in a class who would say good morning and ask how someone else was, and whether it was directed at me or not, it still made me feel happy that someone took the time to talk to someone else. My experience at Northeast State Community College was pleasant and helped me get to where I am today.... Read 457 reviews

Graduate Student: Very neat academic programs, good value for money, people get along well, campus is extremely well taken care of and beautiful even for such a small campus. There aren’t exactly athletic programs at VHCC, but the Professors are extremely helpful and provide work situation based assignments in accordance to your major. There aren’t any dorms/housing provided by the college, and no cafeteria of any sorts. The Wolfgrounds Coffee Shop is the only, and highly recommended place to go! Overall, the faculty and staff provides one of the safest and efficient environments for students of all ages and help them achieve their goals from bottom up!... Read 104 reviews

Graduate Student: Going to this school to obtain my LPN was an amazing experience. All of my professors were willing to help in any way they could. They were always offering suggestions on how to study, organize my work, and graduate with honors! All of the staff were helpful in finding rooms, or people that I needed to talk to. I would highly recommend going here!... Read 7 reviews
