Tess - 08/08/2020

I think it's a good college for getting an associate's degree, especially for students right out of high school. However, I have been disappointed with the administration. Like big universities, I think they try to take advantage of their students somewhat. Many pointless fees and policies are put into place and the administration doesn't seem to care that these are generally broke college students who can't afford to pay silly fees all the time. I've also been disappointed because they advertise free tuition for the first 5 semesters, but I've been forced to pay some fees out of pocket for the last 3 semesters.

Nicole - 05/27/2019

I have had some great experiences and some really bad but lately only good. I do think the Nursing department needs to be on the same page about how the program works. The teachers tell the students one thing and that is not correct. When I changed majors my experience got considerably better. The teachers make themselves available for extra help students may need. I've had some amazing teachers and they will even take time outside of their office hours to make sure you get the help you need. Very dedicated teachers who care and are easy to talk too.

Dylan - 07/03/2018

Roane State Community College was the first college I ever attended, and it was a great first college. The professors do a splendid job teaching in their field of expertise and are interesting people on top of that. I highly recommend Roane State to anyone about to attend college.

Jordan - 05/27/2018

From my experience, it's a great Community College to attend. During the two years that I attended there, I never did have any major struggles, or issues on and off the campus. The classes were easy to take and pass, as long as you did the work and took the time to pay attention. The teachers and staff were awesome as well! You could always ask them a question at anytime and they would work the best they could on making sure you got your question answered. They also were willing to make sure every single student that was there could get the education they needed! Overall, it was a great experience and I recommend this college to anyone who's looking for a local college to go to.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I would advise myself to really think long and hard about what my goal is to achieve by attending college. A lot of years were wasted, because I didn't know what I wanted to do in the end. I would, also, advise to study hard, and to push through when classes get hard, and other things seem to come up. A class only last about 18 weeks, with a few breaks in between. Anyone can handle something for 18 weeks. Also, do not just assume that everything that someone employed by the school tells you are going to be correct. It is not! My last peice of advice would be to not be afraid to meet new people and make new friends. One never knows where or when a relationship can actually help another in the long run, whether it be helping to get a new job, or anything. Always have fun and a good spirit.
