Other: I loved getting to take dual enrollment classes through Gadsden State! It gave me my college and high school credit. I am really close to getting my Associates degree because of it. They have been really helpful and great. The deadlines are all reasonable and they get my grades back quick! I get to check out a computer every semester for FREE so that I can do my work at home and school. Overall Gadsden State has been very helpful and I definitely recommend!... Read 387 reviews

Freshman: LBW is a fantastic school to be at! The teachers are helpful and kind! The counselers are some of the best I've had! Some things that could be changed is the campus hours, It is a community college but if you work its hard to get into the library when it closes at 5:00pm.... Read 195 reviews

Sophomore: I took 5 semesters at Northwest-Shoals Community College, and I had great experiences. The classes were structured appropriately, and the teachers were always available to help. There was clear standards and expectations from the teachers. The instructors also always gave a syllabus to start the semester course. I had a few instructors that were more difficult than others. There were lots of complaints from the professors about the online platform we utilized to take instruction, tests, and assignments. Some of the instruction was outdated and unhelpful. The staff in financial aid, admissions, career center, cashier's office, and advising were always very helpful and engaging. The bookstore staff were also helpful. The campus buildings were close together and able to walk from building to building easily. There could be more pedestrian walkways or paths, but overall it is safe. The library had great places to sit and study, but it would be nice to have more study rooms.... Read 181 reviews

Junior: The campus has two main buildings but most people hang out at the spark building. This is due to how many options the building includes such as a library, tutoring area, cafe, bookstore, game area(foosball, table tennis, and pool), admissions, and advising. The campus is one of the safest I've been on with a personal security force. The security officers are actually welcomed and liked by students/staff as they walk by on patrol throughout the area. A phone number is even available to students/staff if they feel unsafe and need an escort to their ride. The campus is right next to busy roads and train tracks, so outside can be quite loud at times. Sometimes the noise can be heard in some of the buildings. This campus does not allow the advisors to sit down with a student (believed COVID precaution). Instead, right outside of the offices, the students will meet their advisors with a little fence between the two.... Read 731 reviews

Alum: My experience was overall amazing. I was welcomed the very first day I started classes. If I ever needed help or guidance my advisor was always there and always guided me in the right direction. If I could change anything about this college it would be the summer classes. Not all classes are welcomed and available and sometimes you don’t get a great variety of options to choice from through the summer. Overall glad to be an alumni from this college! Go bears!...

Alum: I really enjoyed my time at Wallace. I will say, it's not very fun if you don't get involved. Since it is a community college, there are not that many people who hang out on campus. Most of us just drive to class and drive home. However, there are lots of events on campus where you can meet people. The instructors are very nice and willing to help you in any way they can. All of my instructors I had remembered my name, which I thought was cool and was something I didn't expect. The tutoring lab is AMAZING. It's free and they will bend over backwards to help you. Overall, I feel like I am much more prepared to transfer to my university because of Wallace. I feel like I got a good, quality education that will form the basis for whatever I do from here on. If you're considering Wallace, go for it! They have TONS of scholarships, and I got my time at Wallace almost completely paid for. Two years of undergrad basically free! Just make sure you get involved!... Read 473 reviews

Sophomore: I love attending Shelton state Community College. It is a very good school to get your basic classes before going off to a four year university. It has an arrangement of sports, such as men's and women's basketball, baseball, and cheerleading. Shelton State has two campuses one is called Martin campus which I attend and the other is called Fred campus. Shelton State offers degrees and certificates such as biology, nursing, forestry, cosmetology, theater, culinary arts, welding, and applied science. Shelton State has other classes and extracurricular activities one can take such as theater, band, art, aerobics, Spanish, and tai chai. Shelton State has a Chick-fil-A where one can eat. Offers arrangement of plays, hair shows, and band shows throughout the year and you can pay what you can for some of the theater plays. Shelton offers financial aid and scholarships such as the Phi theta kappa government organization. Shelton does not offer housing but one can stay in an apartment.... Read 404 reviews

Freshman: “All of our dreams can only come true, if we try and pursue them.” That is a quote that I live by, and one that encouraged me to further my education. I am attending Southern Union, and I couldn’t have imagined anything better and more fulfilling. Some day, I’d like to transfer my credits and earn a bachelors degree from Auburn University!...

Alum: I went to Lawson State Community college for one year for cosmetology, and I enjoyed it. The school is very graceful and mercy toward their students. I know because I went here and was shown this grace while attending school when I was sick; they called and checked on me. I was pregnant and I missed quite a few days at first, but the school didn't let me fail. I also returned to school after I had my baby, and I was able to pick back up on the classes that I had to drop without penalty. I seen my son attend this school and they helped him in many ways un-imaginable. He took free classes that really helped him achieve his goals.... Read 329 reviews

Sophomore: Overall, I did not have a bad experience at Coastal Alabama. The campus itself is pretty small but the school is also a community college in a very small town in Alabama. The good part about the school being kind of small is that you get pretty familiar with everyone. There are two sets of dorms and there are some dorm rules. Check in/ check out was never anyones favorite thing while staying in the dorms but it is doable. Campus police are also readily available to help students at all times throughout the day and night if needed. There are also plenty of resources to help register for classes and other things of that nature. There's also great teachers at Coastal Alabama Community college, as well as scholarships that can be applied for. Coastal also offers on campus jobs throughout the school year! One last thing is the cafeteria food. It actually pretty good!... Read 469 reviews

Sophomore: I enjoyed the online classes. It gave me opportunities to explore events at the school I would have missed had I been in class. I have a work study which is great! Very understanding when I had something to do with PTK or a meeting I wanted to go to. TRIo has shown me more schools than I would have thought to go to and more attractions I know I wouldn’t have went to.... Read 246 reviews

Sophomore: I started Trenholm aroumd August 2016, I started with General education class, then I got accepted into the LPN nursing program which I started in January 2017-August of 2018. I enjoyed the experience, the only thing I disliked was the school did not have enough instructors. For one of my nursing class, I did not have an instructor for about 2 months, then we finally received an instructor. Other then that, most of my instructors taught well and were helpful throughout my school journey. I am currently a returning student at Trenholm for Summer semester of 2021 and currently enrolled in online/virtual classes.... Read 82 reviews
