Elizabeth - 06/25/2024

South College offers a fantastic blend of academic excellence and convenience. The class sizes are just right, allowing for personalized attention and a great learning environment. With only a few buildings on campus, it's easy to navigate, and the flat terrain makes walking between classes a breeze. One of the standout features of South College is the accessibility and approachability of the professors. They're always available and welcoming, creating a supportive and engaging atmosphere for students. The Physician Assistant (PA) program is particularly noteworthy, providing top-notch education and hands-on experience. While the campus could benefit from more dining options, the proximity to Knoxville more than makes up for it. In just a few minutes, you can explore a variety of great places to eat, adding to the overall appeal of studying at South College. The combination of a well-designed campus, excellent faculty, and the nearby city amenities makes South College a great choice for students.

Nichole - 11/04/2023

I've been attending this school since 2021, and my experience has been excellent. I initially enrolled in the LPN program, which I found to be truly remarkable. Currently, I'm pursuing my education in the ASN RN program, and I'm extremely impressed with the quality of this new program. The school has consistently provided a high-quality educational experience, and my transition from LPN to the ASN RN program has been seamless and rewarding. I'm appreciative of the support and education I've received, and I'm looking forward to furthering my studies with confidence.

Raven - 12/31/2022

It is a very affordable college that offers a variety of programs. The staff is very nice and helpful. The communication is very effectively and I always have access to whatever I may need on or off campus. It's been a very easy transition from my last college.

Front office is a definite so make sure you are on top of everything and keep documents on hand. Over all a good school.
