    Vernon College is a great Community College. It does not only have great professors but also great admission. As I was going into college while still in high school, I had great help from both my online professor and admission. They helped me make sure my grades were always good. Made sure I got things done for when I graduated high school I would have everything ready for when I would start college. College can be very difficult as a freshman because it is a very different setting from high school. But Vernon College will do great in making sure you are in the right path.

    Great people, Great staff! The professors really care and want you to succeed. I transferred from another college and everything was smooth process. Along with my accommodations.
    Vernon College is a good community college, it's well priced! Especially, if you're wanting to take credits and transfer to the local college, MSU.
