I am a Senior in high school but i also am taking classes at J Sargeant Reynolds, and have been since Summer of 2023. I was given the opportunity to complete my Associate degree whilst still in high school. When i an so incredibly appreciative of J Sargeant Reynolds for. They were able to make a plan of payment that best benefited my parents. And I'm just thankful at the fact that J Sargeant Reynolds is understanding that i am still in high school, so they have qualified high school teachers teaching the curriculum.

Even though it's a community college it's a very good school for me. its really prepared me to the college life and I'm getting well accommodated to the traveling that students have to do. Everyone is also extremely helpful and professors go out their way to help students. And it's very affordable for me and numerous others.

The teachers are not consistent, staff is not friendly and very rude.

It's affordable, friendly enough, small, and very basic. It's a transition from highschool to a four year university. It's not a place many want to stay too long, but it does it's job well. Classes aren't too difficult. Most of the staff are kind and helpful when you take the time to reach out.

I honestly feel as if the faculty is not properly trained considering I have had many issues with the administration offices. I was behind a semester due to the inconsistency of the advising team. Some of the professors are very passionate about teaching but many are the opposite. There are lot of clubs and activities to do so I have no complaints about things like that. But when it comes down to my education I am hesitate to say I'm satisfied with the delivery.

J Sargeant Reynolds Community College is a great place to begin your start to college. It is affordable, accessible and far nicer than other community colleges. The Professors genuinely care about your education and will help you on their time. The facilities are very nice and continue to grow each year.

I've been a student at Reynolds' Community College for 3 semesters it's an overall good school. I've made a lot of friends and associates who I can list as good references. At J Sarg. classes are short and the lesson plan is at a fast pace in some cases can be very tedious but hard work pays off and material is accurate.

this community college is a great place to start! You can earn lots of general credits that can transfer to bigger colleges or universities. If you live in the Richmond area, this is a fantastic place to be! The classes are relatively easy and the professors are great in assisting you and offering extra help! I highly recommend this community college!

The college overall is satisfactory. It is located in Richmond, which is getting a lot of national attention as a whole as a great city. The school is very diverse, and also cost effective. There is dining very close to campus from food trucks and restaurants within walking distance and some within 10 minutes. There is ample transportation options as well.

It is a great school that allows students to make an awesome transition from High school to college. The professors are always willing to help and I really enjoy it. The campus is always clean and the staff are very kind. The food that is available nearby is great and not too expensive.

I would recommend Reynolds to anyone! It's a great school with excellent staff. Community College is a great option if you are trying to save money and still get a quality education. Also it is an easy way to get your GPA up in a short time. I have been here for almost 2 years now and I absolutely love it.

I have been taking classes with J Sargeant Reynolds for about two years now. I am from the Richmond area and wanted to save money instead of going to a four year university right away, and J Sargeant Reynolds was a great option for that. Many of my friends who currently attend a four year university always try to explain to me how J Sargeant Reynolds is not an actual college. I will admit, I don't like the fact that I can't live in a dorm with a roommate and meet a lot of people. However, J Sargeant Reynolds is not a bad college. Most of the professors that I have had are remarkably kind and will do their very best to help you. To me, that's what is most important.

I am currently a student at Reynolds Community College, and I have been taking courses there for over a year. They have a great business program, which is what I am enrolled in. I take the majority of my classes online, so my experiences with the school are different than that of someone that takes classes on campus. The curriculum is always very current and relevant to the subjects covered in the courses. The professors try to keep the cost of the textbooks down as much as possible by not changing the required materials for their classes every time a publisher revises a textbook that they are using, which can be very expensive if they did this every school year. The only complaint I have about my school is that fact that they do have a couple of professors that should not still be teaching at the school, due to the excessive amount of negative and very unhappy student reviews that have been made about them. I'm talking 10-12 years of students constantly complaining about the same instructors every year, and after every semester that they had to deal with these awful teachers. Something needs to be done about these teachers because it leaves a lot of students with bad tastes in their mouths and they tend to look at the school in a different way. At the end of every semester students are given the opportunity to honestly review their instructors, and when the school doesn't take these assessments seriously or do anything about the problem, it tells the student that their opinions really don't matter and that there is no point in doing them, unless it is to compliment and give credit to the really awesome instructors that the school does have. Other than that, I am happy with my choice of attending Reynolds and being part of their Business program.

I am not officially a student yet. I am an upcoming first year this fall. I do not feel they are putting much interest in the first year students. They have not even offered me a chance to tour the campus. Admissions is saying, "wait till you graduate and get your transcripts in." ... We will be happy to sit down and talk to you about your next journey in life, when you have sent us those final grades." I take my academics very serious, and my grades would not have faltered in the last two months of school. I do not feel special or even appreciated, even though I have a high GPA. I guess my record and community spirit is not good enough to get them excited about me yet. Well they are missing the boat here. I may not go here, for I have another school highly motivated to meet me. We will see.

It is a decent community college, good for saving money. But you have to do a bit of work to make it through, sometimes teaching yourself the info. Some professors are better than others, but that is like anywhere you go. There is not much to do around campus.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for J Sargeant Reynolds Community College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.
What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would say to myself that education is im portant and you should work very hard if you want to be successsful in life.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
You get to set your class schedule around your work schedule. It's cheaper, and it's easier to transfer to a 4 year university through community college. It's a money saver.
Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
J Sargeant Reynolds is a perfect stepping stone for a person wishing to get a degree who might not have the funds to do so at a university and a great place to pursue a career in a tech field that a university does not provide.
My fellow classmates at JSRCC are dedicated and mature, but they know how to have fun as well. I find them to be more supportive and knowledgable about life than my fellow undergraduate students at my former four-year college.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
How friendly and helpful they were to help you get to the classes you need to get. They are willing to help you in any way possible to help you achieve your dreams and goals.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
The student body is actually there to learn, not to socialize or drink or waste time. Most students are single parents, working adults, members of the military, or individuals whose financial situations have limited their educational opportunities. Personally, I chose this college because my family couldn't afford the other schools to which I was accepted - a common reason why many students choose to attend community colleges instead of 4-year institutions.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
Only a highly motivated person should attend this school. Students are on their own in many ways. Unlike many four-year colleges, this school is not a "party school"., and therefore students do not come her to party. They come here to learn and get their degress. The students here are all highly motivated individuals trying to move forward either in their academic future or their career.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The administration is inefficient, incompetent, lazy, and completely unconcerned with student affairs. Most of the staff are not familiar with college policies and procedures; instead of offering explanations or guidance to students with questions about college policies, they refer students to someone else or simply don't reply. It takes an inordinate amount of effort just to get the college to follow the procedures outlined in its own handbook.
I feel that while it does have its downsides (faculty), it is a decent college. I would recommend it to high school students whether their focus is on seeking a degree or entering the workforce early
I would say if you don't like big shools with big number of students in class this is the way to go. If the person need financial needs, wants to be closer to home is the kind of person i would say should attend a community college.
