I am so happy that i made the decision to attend a community college. Tidewater community college is a really great schol with amazing people. I loved the classes, and finished my first year with a 3.9. To all of the people who are hesitant to start off at a community college, do it! It is worth it! A student who attends a community college takes the same classes as a person who would attend a four-year university. My experience was really fun. I made new friends and did well in all of my classes. I used all of the resources provided which helped me exceed in my courses. Attending Tidewater Community college was one of the best decisions i have ever made.

At TCC I was able to enroll with a GED and placement testing. I cannot stress enough how amazing an opportunity it was, having been a high school dropout, to be given the chance to start my life over and get a college education. TCC is affordable and financial aid is available without hassle. Most of the courses provided are challenging and have impeccable teachers who care. TCC has incredible flexibility, which is especially useful for those who are adults, such as myself that have other things to tend to in life. I just graduated in December with my associates and I am now transferring to a 4-year university all because of this school and I am extremely grateful and proud to have been able to attend here. From here you REALLY can go anywhere, thank you, TCC!
