    Attending college I expected to go and not have enough support. I was even scared since i was a freshmen I didn’t know what to expect, but all of the teachers there were always supported, what I really like about this school is that it’s easy to get around and it’s very comfortable school to get your education at. You meet a lot of new people and there is many scholarships given. They also have a food bank which helps most students who can’t afford to get enough food, I think this is very helpful for the students. Overall my experience at Tmcc has been a great one. I would 10/10 recommend any upcoming college students who want to attend a community college this is the perfect one!

    This college has some amazing teachers. The staff in the health sciences department are amazing at directing you to achieve your goals! The admissions staff could use a little more training though. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience with the college.
    The campus cafeteria is very good. I am not aware of the party scene or athletics though.
    Overall my experience has been good! My first semester, I got teachers that were really passionate about what they taught. Lectures were good. Got the used of the tasks that needed to be done; what will be submitted online or in class. My second semester, was a bit tough but all is well. I have better insight on how to use technology and navigate places around campus.
