absolutely love TCC! Amazing professors and beautiful campus
Overall 4.3
I have an undergrad business degree from a well-rated university. I'm at TCC in the paralegal program & I'm impressed w/the instructors, their commitment, and find my classes fun & challenging. Dr. H is great & TCC leads w/diversity, inclusion, and resources. I'd recommend it esp for those who feel "too" something. You won't here - it's welcoming.

The colab is one of the best areas on campus to find your self in be it for socialization or for access to the student government board for opportunities!

Great school. Has a lot of learning opportunities. The classes are good depending on the professor you choose- some professors are really strict and hard graders. I would recommend the Running Start Program for high school students, but the counselors and advisors don't do much- so most of the stuff you have to figure out on your own. 6/10

It's my first time at TCC, but so far it's been great. 2/3 of my professors are great; the local food is good, although I wouldn't eat it every day; the common areas are enjoyable; overall it's really nice

This is the worst community college and some of the instructors are the worst. My learning experience here had been horrible.

Just a terrible school in all regards.

Unwilling to work with you. Drops for non-payment even if you have a third party provider. Drops for non-payment well before the quarter beings. No one listens to your situation, they just want your money. Poor quality professors, taught myself for six quarters off the internet and youtube videos. 1.5/10.

This school is a poor excuse for a college. Its a community college, sure, but being in the classroom with some of the professors makes you lose faith in the value of a graduate degree. They are not impressive, and do not seem to care about teaching. The campus is large and nice with many facilities and clubs, but good luck connecting to wi-fi

Most of the professor are really tough grader. Also, a lot of them will confused most of the students. I think more students does not know what are they talking about. It is really hard to learn their concepts I think they’re doing these so students keep on repeating the class. I suggest to look up for different one unless you want t be confused.

The campus is alright, but it's lacking community. The faculty has some outstanding people, but a lot of worthless student workers. Teachers are unacceptable, and by them alone I will be dropping out; you won't understand how bad they are until you're stuck with them, and administration does nothing to rectify the problems. Would not recommend!

Awful parking. Awful staff but great professors.
Overall 1.9
Despite the great reviews posted all over their advertising material, this school seems to work very hard at making sure you can't get what you want/need. This starts with admissions people who never answer calls and email, and extends all the way to incompetent, ineffective faculty protected by the administration. Don't waste you time and money.

For such a wide campus there are no security cameras in the biggest parking lots. My car was hit and the other ran away. I cant imagine how many times this happens in such a crowded school. Theres security that drives around but they are useless. They asked me to report but I had no proof other than the damage, which couldve been from a past ac
