I am a big advocate for community colleges for many reasons. First, they are relatively inexpensive and are very easy to work and pay as you go. Second, they are smaller which allows for more personal interaction between students and faculty. Third, they offer the same quality education you can get at a university. Southwest especially meets all of these qualifications. One of my favorite things about Southwest is that they work with the state of Tennessee which offers a last dollar scholarship which will pay for your two years at the school. I am also grateful for everyone my professors each of whom have pushed me and encouraged me to be better.
This college is good for the starter! For those who is a high school graduate, PLEASE DON'T forget to apply TN Promise to cover your pay for college if you're low on money or attending to 4 years like me. Love it and that's a smart move. Thanks Southwest!
Since starting as a student with Southwest you can clearly tell those who care about the students and those who don’t. I have had my fair share of run-ins with both kinds. For example, I had some pretty simple questions to an issue, I emailed maybe 10 or so people because I had no idea who I needed to reach out to. One person out of all of them responded almost immediately. She was very kind and incredibly helpful, I never had to wait more than a day for her responses. Then I had one person respond a week later and the email itself screamed irritation. The other 8 or so people, never heard anything from them!
