Sophomore: My College of San Mateo experience was phenomenal. I was very involved in the Katipunan (Filipinx) Learning Community, Writer's Project, Honors Project, and the Asian Pacific American Culture and Community Program, so I had prospects of which I was able to find my full potential and motivational factor to better my community college experience while also helping make newcomers and prospective students choose this route by destigmatizing community college....

Freshman: I'm an online student taking an early summer semester to prep for full-time classwork, and so far I love TSTC! The staff (faculty and professors alike) are engaged, welcoming, and very helpful-- their Help Desk and admissions process is one of the easiest I've ever experienced, period, and that's WITH technical issues from swapping teaching systems taken into account. They give what they get, and you get what you give, including from classwork--- mandatory tutoring/meetings for grades C and below and regular professor interaction make for an online experience that keeps you engaged and on track, instead of fading into the background noise of life, the way some other degree courses are prone to. I would highly recommend anyone looking to get a bachelor-quality education check out Texas State Technical College-- they're highly competitive and their funding depends on making sure their graduates find jobs; as a result, everything is very well-run, for a fraction of the cost of university....

Sophomore: Overall a very solid choice. I have enjoyed all of my professors and have found it very easy to learn here. There are services available like tutoring and computers to use which have helped me greatly. The only reason I rate it four stars is because I wanted to complete an economics degree, but I wasn't informed the classes I needed weren't offered so I had to switch my degree. Just meet with an advisor and make sure they offer all the classes you need.... Read 404 reviews

Freshman: Terra State is a great community to be around and has great academic advisors and professors that are always willing to help anyone who is seeking help or advice with anything. I would like to see better communication with the cashier's office that is located on campus. Every time I would try to call and talk to a worker there, they would never pick up the phone and would always send me emails but will never answer their phone calls.... Read 141 reviews

Junior: I have been going to NTC for a 2 years now part time to get my associates degree and it is overall a pretty good school. When it comes to signing up for classes I really like that you can just call and do that over the phone especially with working a full time job it can be hard to get off during the day to go to the tech. They are pretty accommodating for the most part. Would recommend to others wanting to go to a tech school.... Read 177 reviews

The staff was always the sweetest, and my boss I worked under for my ambassador duties was one of my favorite staff members! My classes were a lot easier than if I were to take them at an university and I am super thankful Holmes allowed me to do so. I am transferring in the fall and I am going to miss this place so very much!... Read 315 reviews

Graduate Student: My experience with the school has been amazing. I've met new people, I got to experience new things in the college world. All the faculty have been such a huge help far as knowing information about my financial aid, getting my textbooks and finding resources to getting my studies. The school sends out a lot of information to help student when they having a hard time and how they provides tutor when you failing in a class. I like how college help me prepare for the world because it is different from high school. I would like to change the fact that as a future dental assistant we should have more time in lab to know the material well when we actually start working.... Read 267 reviews

Sophomore: I have enjoyed my experience at HACC. Overall, most of my professor have been very helpful and have done their best to make me successful in their classes. HACC offers some very interesting classes, especially for a community college. It is overall very affordable, and there are always events happening that you can join to feel more connected and/or included. The only thing I would like to see change is a little more organization and care from the financial part of the college. In conclusion, I think that this college is a good fit for people who are looking for a community college.... Read 1,069 reviews

Freshman: At SFCC I like the friendliness of the Trio staff, teachers, faculty and coaches. Very easy to approach and get help for. Some of their personalities are entertaining too. In Cross country we got to run in competition out of state, which was awesome! Additionally we spent time in hotels and are out in restaurants. The apartments are pretty nice with a kitchen several rooms and one or more bathrooms. Overall, they are a lot of challenges to face and overcome as a freshman, but S.F.C.C.

I feel that the coursework was presented at a reasonable pace, but also did not fail to engage learners in the online environment.

Freshman: During my, so far, brief time at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College I have started my journey towards a degree and my future. I have enjoyed being on campus the most, with having the benefit of being able to take classes online as well. This dual system they employ allows me to focus my time both in person with classes that are more hands-on, and at home with classes that don't necessarily need an in-classroom setting while earning me my required credits in a timely manner. While I haven't been on the college scene for long, I have had enough experience now and during high school to say that Elizabethtown is a great start for those who are unsure about being full-time university students, and just want a taste of college life they can have at their own pace. This school is great for getting a start at a degree for a low cost and then eventually transferring out to pursue your education further. The only downside to attending ECTC is the distance from my house to campus.... Read 315 reviews

Senior: Personally, I'm loving being a student at AAU! I am a full time student taking classes entirely online, which has been a life saver for me. With my remote location and anxiety struggles, there's no way I would have been able to attend any school in person, and Academy of Art is one of the very few colleges that offer an art degree online. This alone was a huge selling point for me when deciding what I wanted to do with me future. I knew I needed an "in between" step from graduating highschool to entering into the industry, and taking classes here has accomplished that 100%--the classes are accessible for complete beginners in the field, and the pacing of each week is just enough to push you without breaking you. I've had only great interactions with the instructors, and they have been a vital part in improving my drawing skills. The homework usually gives us a ton of creative freedom.... Read 2,496 reviews
