I just visited this college today with my son. I found this site by recommendation of several active students. Although they have a new campus they lack any TRUE college experience. There are only a small amount of legit medical professionalsPHD qualified personnel which is very disheartening. Parents put education 1st, send your child elsewhere.

They are building a new campus, but have poor educators & rude staff. Do NOT waste your money. If you want to transfer to a reputable school they will not take you seriously having come from RPCC. Parents drive the extra distance or pay a tad more for your childs future. The entire LCTCS system is a scam! Beware parents & stay away.

I'm a chemistry professor at a nearby university, and my nephew decided to go here before transferring. I promised to help. Last semester, his courses were a joke, nothing he didn't learn in 9th grade, and this semester is no better. RPCC is an academic FRAUD, should be shut down, and never should have been accredited.

A very bad place, and I wish I'd never set foot on the campus.
Overall 1.4
A bad place, to be avoided.

So unorganized and unhelpful. If you get help from them for class scheduling, DEFINITELY get someone outside of this school to re-check it for the correct courses you need before deciding on your final schedule. Thanks to their know-nothing advisors, I'm wasting my time in 2 of the wrong courses this semester. The same thing happened to my friend!

This is not a school to get the college experience. There is no extra things to do for fun and no one around trying to get people involved. No one is very helpful, you have to figure out most things on your own. Although with that being said I am glad I attended because I achieved exceptional grades.
