I had a wonderful experience attending TNCC!

Great college and the security is superb! The Education Department needs to have their own classroom not modulars.

Thomas Nelson is a great campus. A lot of people might disagree, but I think that's only because they're shallow people. I digress, but to the main point. Every professor I've had so far has been very helpful and made each class interesting. Sign up for classes ASAP, you'll get the best professors. Admin can be stubborn at times.

Great campus with a lot of great professors. So many clubs to choose from. I am on the Competitive Ballroom Dance Team. I have grown so much as a dancer and have great opportunities. We go on many paid for dance trips and I've won a scholarship for dance. TRIO is okay, you get free food for going to the meetings. They tell me what I already know.

I've been at Thomas Nelson for several years and I've never felt more happy about attending a school before. This campus is amazing and I strongly recommend it.

Thomas Nelson Community College is such a breath of fresh air for a community college. They treat their students with dignity and respect. They realize that students going here want to learn and thrive. The faculty and staff are always smiling. They go above and beyond to help you succeed. I would recommend this college to anyone.

Dull college

Thomas Nelson is not the best school. Everyone I know has had some sort of problem with the school and with almost all of the professors. The employees there don't seem to know anything about the school or where stuff is. I've always had trouble with rude people there.

The only thing worse than the academics are the ethics. It is absolutely dismal here. This school makes china look like the bastion of freedom.
Overall 1.1
College is worst. Administration have rude attitudes.Better off taking classes elsewhere. School lack having tech instructions to teach year round. Not much teachers teaching in summer. IncludeED makes things expensive, instead of buying own access codes. Unneccessary transportion fees are added on tuition. Not many people drive.
Overall 1.2
Honestly, it is near home and cheap and that's the only reason anyone goes here. The buildings are ugly and most classrooms are windowless. It feels more like a highschool than a college, except with everything social trashed out of it. It is hard to find any list of clubs and I've only heard of a few.

My experiences with tncc makes me wish i would have spent more money on a better school. It is not unusual for the bathrooms to be dirty and smell. The professors are a joke, but if you have to go to tncc go to the Williamsburg campus.

Most of the teachers do not even try to help you and don't seem to care. It's mostly very loud rude thug students. Go to TCC it's higher class.

The Financial Aid Staff are beyond RUDE!!! They act as if they are doing you a favor by sitting there!!! NOT one person in that department can answer a simple question. I was told that even though I qualified for a grant THAT IT JUST MIGHT NOT COME IN TIME FOR MY BOOKS!!! How in the world does that happen?? Very frustrated and will NOT attend after

ugly campus, and not very big. the professors are hit or miss and there is a very wide variety of students. some have no ambition and some work hard to transfer. its a cheap place to get classes out of the way to transfer, but its what youd expect out of a community college.

Boasts being an opportunity driven college with a 2 year 2 plus program, which fails when student transfers credits to a university in or out of state. Degree based employment opportunities (After degree completion) to companies are overshadowed by student (Non-graduate) internment for college credits. Diploma processing takes a year.
