      Professors were great; the financial aid department (when I was there) was in over their head with stealing money from students. The alumni association is out for money, and for a private "Christian" (which has since become a joke) college, they were certainly very greedy and unhelpful. Poor communication until last minute. BEAUTIFUL scenery around the area and tiny town, though!

      Toccoa Falls College is such an amazing school. It is known for the on-site waterfall that is beautiful and an easy walk to. The campus is incredibly serene, small, and a great place to hang out, play games, study, etc. The people and staff at TFC are friendly and are eager to get to know you personally. The staff are known to have invited students to their homes for dinner with their family occasionally and are always open to meet with the student according to the students' schedule when they are in need of further explanation on an assignment or even just to answer some thought-provoking questions they may have. There are not many things that the college needs to change, but could have some updates for the dorm rooms and some things around the campus such as the roads and sidewalks. Other than those minor fixes Toccoa Falls College is a great place to go!
      I fell in love with Toccoa Falls College from the moment that I stepped foot on campus! The campus was so beautiful and seemed to take you always from the outside world and brought to somewhere very peaceful with very little distractions. Moreover, the student life was amazing and being able to see how the professor really connected and cared for their students was really cool to see. It was also interesting to see the connections between the students and how they cared for each other and just how they wanted to see them succeed. I wouldn’t change a thing about the college because it is a very good place to go if you are interesting in anything religious or such things as teaching, or nursing.
