Wallace Community College - Dothan

• 2 Year
• Dothan, AL
• 272

Freshman: I will be proud to say I earned my degree from Wallace Community College because of it's outstanding reputation in our community. I have been fortunate to attend one semester, but due to financial difficulties have been unable to continue my education. My mother is a 1990 Alumni of Wallace and has helped numerous people in our community with her nursing skills and knowledge she obtained from Wallace. The instructors are very knowledgeable and really take an intrest in their students success. I am ready to prepare for my future and give back to my community as a physical therapy assistance if given the financial help i need to reach my goal.
Thank you for this opportunity!

• Rainsville, AL
• 154

Sophomore: Northeast Alabama Community College is one of the best decisions I have ever made. It is such a safe, affordable, fun college! I would have not chosen to go anywhere else. The small student to teacher ratio is perfect for one on one tutoring sessions and help. The free tutoring center is such a great thing for students! The tutors are extremely helpful and nice. The staff in general are a closely connected and extremely willing to talk and help all students. The campus is a very safe, fun, and wonderfully clean environment! NACC is very affordable and has wonderful scholarships and financial aid available to every student! Every program is well equipped with technology and correct text.I highly recommend Northeast Alabama Community College to everyone intending to further his/her education after high school/GED.

Calhoun Community College

• 2 Year
• Tanner, AL
• 616

Sophomore: My overall experience with Calhoun Community College deserves 4 stars out of 5. This can be backed by the small class sizes the ensure more individual learning and one-on-one availability with the teachers. From my experience, most of the teachers care about their students and do as much in their power to see us succeed. However, several things keep Calhoun Community College from quite the 5-star rating. The financial aid department is lacking in communication and overall availability for student. Also, the student life is lacking, but I can tell they are doing their best to improve. Overall, Calhoun Community College is definitely a great choice and the cheap expense is enough in itself to satisfy any student!

Wallace State Community College - Hanceville

• 2 Year
• Hanceville, AL
• 409

Sophomore: I love Wallace because of the many promises in the medical field it offers! It has programs from registered nursing, emergency medical technician (EMT), radiology tech, respiratory therapy, licensed practical nurse, physical therapy assistant, dental hygienist, occupational therapy assistant, polysomnography, & sonography to only name a FEW of the many programs available to you in the small town of Hanceville Alabama. Although it is small, it is very MIGHTY. The professors here are devoted to their students & love to teach since teaching is usually their second or even third job opposed to their medical profession. If you are only interested in taking basics at Wallace, almost all of their credit hours will transfer so you don't have to worry about a waste of money for a community college class that some university's won't accept.

J.F. Drake State Technical College

Sophomore: This is a great institution to get started in higher education. The staff is super friendly, and the campus is small enough to navigate through. If you don’t want to be intimidated by a big college this is the place for you. The only drawback for me is that it doesn’t a have the degree program for social work, so I’ll have to transfer :( but I’m glad I enrolled.

Jefferson State Community College

Sophomore: Great experience with JSCC 2016/2017. Excellent staff & students in the Veterinary Technology program!
Instructors communicate well with students and are very thorough in teaching. Veterinary Technology instructors are extremely knowledgeable & strive for students to succeed.
The campus is somewhat spread out but easily accessible with the help of a map. Seems like a quiet, safe place to study with minimal distractions. However food, shopping and other businesses are not too far away.
Pleasant experience with financial aid & admissions departments and all JSCC staff.
Online courses are easily accessible & the JSCC website is very informative & easy to maneuver.
Overall pleasant experience with JSCC. Highly recommend this college and the Veterinary Technology Program.

Bishop State Community College

• 2 Year

Freshman: I believe Bishop State is a great place to start. It's affordable and they're reliable. Some people talk down on community colleges, but this one is different. The way they teach, for example, is wonderful. Even the hardest subjects, such as biology, they put it into a perspective you can easily understand better. I just wish the students got more involved in the activities they provide. Show pride for you school no matter what!
