Great Campus

It's the best school in the world. I'm going to donate them a building someday. The classes are small and the professors are awesome. I'm proud to have gone there.

I love going to school here. I recommend going to the Hardin Valley main campus. Stay active is campus wide activities. If you take the time to look into it there are A LOT of clubs and organizations to get involved in. I personally engage in 4 different clubs on campus. Professors are great and there is always someone willing to help.

Pellissippi State Community College (PSTCC) is an excellent institution overall. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking to earn an associate degree. The college provides a supportive learning environment, a wide range of programs, and dedicated faculty, making it a great choice for students looking to further their education and career.

It may not seem as great as it is. They have online chat if you are unable to make it to campus to speak to someone. Everyone has always been helpful. There may be a few bad professors but not all of them. Very student friendly school. I always see campus security. Could use a little more lighting.

Everyone is always friendly and happy to help. The best campus out of all of the campuses is the Hardin Valley Campus.

I am glad I went here. All my professors have been excellent. They all respond quickly to emails and are available before or after class to answer questions or to just chat. Pellissippi offers a great study abroad program as well that allows students to travel and get college credit for a very affordable price.

This school is absolutely amazing. I was hesitant to start at a community college, but all of the faculty and students are the kindest people you'll ever meet. Everyone acts as a team and helps each other out. As someone who feels like an outsider most of the time, everyone there made me feel like family, and I truly miss going to school there.

If you have hopes on transferring from this college to a 4 year I would highly recommend speaking with both Pellissippi advisers as well as the other uni; the advisors here know nothing. I have had my major switched 3 times just to find out again that I'm in the wrong classes. I would start out at the college you want to finish at and save hassle.
Overall 1.9
It does its purpose, gets you an associates degree or prepared to transfer. The Campus, Teachers, and Environment all remind me of high school, but with more independence. If I had the choice I would have gone straight to a four year school because you really do not get the full college experience here.
Overall 2
The campus is nice for a community college, some departments definitely need to be reevaluated due to some questionable staff members. If you choose to attend PSTCC I would recommend making sure you know what you're doing and make sure you take just the right amount of classes together.
