Overall TCC is a wonderful place to attend, the staff and administrators are always kind and helpful. The tuition is low, they offer many majors, certifications and transfer & degree programs. The professors are informant helpful and care about your education. They offer many on campus resources, like counseling, tutors, study areas, and more. The campus is small and close knit. It's a great school to start off at, from TCC you can really go anywhere!
Review Tidewater Community College
I loved my experience with online courses! I love being able to do the work/class on my time and not having to worry about scheduling classes around eachother; I'm able to make my own schedule. The workload is just like that of a traditonal classroom, sometimes even less. The disscusion board is great because we get to talk with our students and professors through it. Some online courses you also still doing group work/project, which can me tricky at times but it can be done! An overall grey experience with my online courses. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to take one!
Tidewater Community College, has helped me develop time managing skills; my teacher's have been great thus far. I have been challenged and pushed to reach my fullest potential and have even surprised myself with all that I have accomplished. I will constantly choose TCC until I graduate, there is help everywhere you turn, you just have to ask for it. The staff has been exceptional! I have really enjoyed my five semesters at TCC and have just two left but I am grateful that I chose this school!
