My experience in Volunteer State Community College was like no other. My first day of college was a successful and stress-free experience. Every corner of the school was someone to help you out. The school offers the best services for tutoring and for no charge! The professor help you a lot more then you think. If you have any questions, they'll always answer it no matter how embarrassing or dumb the question might be. The College breakfast and lunch are one of the best meals I had in any any other school and for the right price.
Review Volunteer State Community College
All of the professor are extremely helpful. They make sure that you understand the material and if you are struggling, they give you plenty of resources to use to help get you back on track. It is a very helpful and amazing college!
Vol State is a much better school than I had anticipated. The diversity of available classes allow for anyone to do anything! Not to mention the smaller campus size compared to other schools; which helps in finding classes easily and quickly. I myself do not partake in the extra activities, but there are plenty to choose from, including yoga and soccer. Overall, Vol State is a great choice for a 2 year college, and its lower tuition costs mean more accessibility for more people.
