Student and Staff Numbers
- Students: The total number of undergraduate students enrolled at Germanna Community College is approximately 2,165
- Undergraduates: The exact number of undergraduate students enrolled at Germanna Community College's Fredericksburg Campus is not provided in the sources. However, it is mentioned that Germanna serves approximately 13,000 students annually, with 72% of them being part-time students and 28% being full-time students. Therefore, the enrollment range for undergraduate students at the Fredericksburg Campus could be estimated as follows: - Part-time students: 9,360 (72% of 13,000) - Full-time students: 3,640 (28% of 13,000) Combining these, the total estimated enrollment range for undergraduate students would be approximately 13,000 students, with a more specific breakdown into part-time and full-time students. However, without precise data, it's challenging to provide an exact number for just the Fredericksburg Campus. If we consider the overall enrollment and assume a similar distribution across all campuses, the range for the Fredericksburg Campus could be roughly estimated as follows: - Part-time: 6,600 to 7,200 - Full-time: 2,400 to 2,800 Thus, the total estimated range for undergraduate students at the Fredericksburg Campus would be approximately 9,000 to 10,000 students. However, this is an approximation and not an exact figure
- Academic Staff: The exact number of academic staff at Germanna Community College - Fredericksburg Campus is not explicitly stated in the provided sources. However, based on the directories, it appears to be around 100-150 individuals, including faculty and instructional staff. For a more precise count, you would need to manually tally the names listed in the directories, which is not feasible with the given information. Therefore, I can only provide an approximate range. **Approximate range: 100-150**
- Administrative Staff: The exact number of administrative staff at Germanna Community College's Fredericksburg Campus is not explicitly stated in the provided sources. However, based on the directories and job listings, it appears to be a significant number, likely in the range of 20-30 individuals, given the various administrative roles listed for the campus. Therefore, a rough estimate would be 20-30 administrative staff

When I graduated high school in 2018, a big university was what I wanted. Well, that fall I went to my dream university, only to be left very unhappy and alone. I was on my own, alone, and just felt worthless. I packed up and came back home and began life at Germanna. I was NOT disappointed! I wish I had started here to begin with. I love it here!

This school is great, the staff that work there make it so much easier by being helpful in answering questions and financial aid is not a hassle as it is in some colleges. The professors I've had are all proficient and do all they can to help you understand the course to pass.

Germanna is a great community college for nontraditional adults going back to school. The advisors go above and beyond to get you situated with admissions and the response time is on average 24 hrs via email. The professors are committed to students having an understanding of course material. Not to mention, cheaper tuition!

Germanna is an amazing college. I wish I could get my bachelor's there. Almost everyone I've ever met at GCC has been kind, caring, intelligent, and truly unique. I've met my best friend there, I've had the best teachers I've ever had, and the campus might be small, but it is beautiful.

I really enjoyed my time at Germanna Community College, It was a very nice experience, tons of support and help from all the services they provide. From the beginning with my advisor Robert Dixon, I was guided to take classes and used all the tools they have to help you to reach my goals. I could not ask for more, from the bottom of my heart thanks

I moved to 4-year school as soon as I could. I only spent one semester here and it was TERRIBLE. The community college I went to my first year was Piedmont Virginia Community College and I loved it there. However, I'm glad to be done with Germanna.

I haven't even attended a class and already I feel that it will be a waste of my efforts. I've been trying to attend classes with little help from administration. Every call I make is met with an answering machine and every time I go to the Welcome Center for information I just get handed a piece of paper to fill out or read and complete online. I

It's just blah. It's a community college that is sketchy and very dicey at areas. The main building is always dirty.
Overall 1.4
Although they do have great courses, and most of the professors are knowledgeable, the counselors and their organization just plain sucks. It has taken me longer to graduate because they failed to tell me what classes I needed (even looking at your requirements it is hard to tell because of how hidden they are) they don't do their jobs.

This school needs to be shut down and bulldozed over, I do not recommend anyone go there! I think that these other comments and ratings on here or paid or put out by the school or something. There is not really much I can say about the school that is nice, maybe a few things but they do not make up for all the bad things at the school.

Get ready to be tossed around like a bouncy ball when trying to receive help. The professors are good, but the rest of the faculty are TERRIBLE. Every once in awhile after sending 1,000 emails you will meet someone with a smiling face willing to help. If you like grumpy people, vape huts, and make out sessions in the halls, Germanna is for you!
