I'm a recent graduate of this college and I've found that I made the right decision to attend this college and if there was someone who would ask me they would get the best review they have ever gotten from any student who have been there.

Best school ever

Graduated with AS in CS, transferring to VT This place made my dream school a possibility 8 years after high school. I failed, came back 5 years by Academic Renewal, and made straight A's. Be friendly to your classmates, research your professors (**you have options**), and plan for years in advance. Take summer classes. Main office is always snappy

I really like Reynolds. My professors and advisors have been really helpful, there are lots of fun extracurriculars, and I enjoy being on campus. Pre-Covid, there were lots of fun activities on campus on a regular basis like trivia, food contests, henna and caricature artists etc. They also make it really easy to plan for transfer.

I wish I went here sooner. Don't come here expecting friends but they will have their way of finding you. The teachers are good but make sure to check here before signing up. There are clubs/trips, shuttles between campuses, and sports courts, for students. I've felt safe even at night. If you don't mind a community college stigma, come here.

Find another to school to attend that appreciate you coming there. And communicate and listen to your concerns.
Overall 1.2
The communication and support is the lowest. John Tyler Community is much better all around.
Overall 1.2
J. Sargent Reynolds would be a good school if the people employed there was more concerned with the students needs. There is not a single place in this school that I can honestly say I feel comfortable going to to get help from. You cant even talk to the Deans about the blatant disregard of staff. If I had other choices I would transfer. It's sad.

It's like going to school at a DMV. It's just a bunch of random people trying to get on with their lives.
