Its great school to complete classes before entering into the work force or college. They have great professors that will help you when needed. Totally recommend attending this Community College. I take classes that will help me figure out what my career will be. I plan to be architect and taking the required classes to transfer to a college after two years. This college is also affordable as it provides scholarships for students to complete this helps pay for classes, books, and fees.
TaMera - 11/17/2020
John Tyler Community College is a safe and clean school. The campus is beautiful and the teacher are passionate about teaching. The counselors are also passionate about what they do too. All of the staff wants what's best for you and helps you step by step to complete your goal. I love it here. I wish it was a four year school.
Rebekah - 02/08/2020
I loved John Tyler Community College. My Professors were amazing, class sizes were small and my education was great. It also saved me so much money and helped prepare me for a four year college! There are a variety of clubs and social events that helped me meet new people and create good memories.
Taija - 10/05/2019
It’s more of a standard school. While the layout is beautiful, it’s definitely not a university or anything like that. It sort of feels like I’m still in Highschool. The teachers do car about student succeeding buy I almost feel that they should care more because a lot of the times, transfer students run into difficulty, and I feel the advisors might not handle it the best.
Shantavia - 06/05/2019
Its a nice school to start off at. There is easy access to school parking and there is a cafe on campus to enjoy. The professors are efficient at teaching and there is always a tutor for a student needing help. Overall, I enjoy this college and the experience it has brought me.
Jade - 05/08/2019
John Tyler is a very nice school. The campus is usually well- kept. They try to involve students in multiple activities and email the students to inform them of the activities that are happening during the week or the upcoming week. The professors I have had maintain a constant office hours and usually reply to emails in a 24 hour window. Overall, John Tyler is a good school to start off with.
Alexandra - 01/23/2019
They are trying very hard to make improvements to the campus so that more resources are available to the students. The teachers and learning environment are great. They offer great services to help with next steps. They have started trying to make books and class materials cheaper for students.
Michelle - 11/09/2018
Great thriving place to get your feet into the door of educating yourself. I think that the locations were great, they both offered rigorous programs and many varieties of classes to choose from. Amazing people teaching from the heart. I'd recommend people going to a 2 year before a 4 year any day.
Matthew - 11/05/2018
During my time of being enrolled at John Tyler I was generally happy with the experience, the school was local to my residence, it was clean, it wasn't to big being a community college. The on campus staff friendly was nice and attentive, when I need help form the either the Admission staff, Finical Aid staff, and even my professors, they were willing to help me as best as they could. I also appreciated the class hours and flexibility with class hours and scheduling. They also had plenty of lounge areas both in side and outside and decent sizes library. Speaking of the library, the librarians were very helpful and knowledgeable, they typically had three or more in the library to help students out. My one grief was that I had with the library was that you had pay a small fee to print paper. I was a little disappointed that John Tyler Community College doesn't offer the specifically program that I wanted to do, this would Automotive industry classes and Certification certificates; however it was once offered years ago. Overall I was happy with my experience at John Tyler Community College, but I do wish they did offer the Automotive industry classes, because if they did I would still be there now. I do recommend this school to an individual who wants a small, local, easy to navigate college, with friendly staff and professors and its not as costly as a typically four-year public or private school.
Kiran - 08/17/2018
It's a great school to go if you're trying to figure out what you want to major in. They offer a lot of opportunities for students to get involved, such as a huge number of clubs, art contest, and also they have fun actives. For example, a movie night or plays. Also, it's a great and cheap way to get all of the basic classes out of the way, so when you do transfer you can focus on your required classes for your major.
shelovesmyi - 08/08/2018
John Tyler Community College is a pleasant and peaceful environment. The teachers are always there to support you in class and outside of class. Teachers also teach the material very well with the methods they use. There's not a lot of commotion around the campus like a university. Overall, it is a simple, but amazing experience.
Brianna - 05/29/2018
My overall opinion about John Tyler Community college is that it is a great stepping stone to going to a 4-year University. The faculty is always willing to help. The class sizes are reasonable, and you should always be able to ask questions. The very best thing about coming here first is that you will save a ton of money. Community colleges are often 1/3 of the price of four year universities. So overall, John Tyler is a great college and i recommend it to seniors to really save some money!
Hunter - 01/30/2018
John Tyler community college is ok. People only go if they don't have a lot of money and or screwed up in high school and have to build a GPA. There is a large mix of people but you won't meet many of them because there is no party scene at all and it is a commuter school. Good if you're on a budget but is definitely not a college feel. However, most professor a fair and if you show up and try they will work with you.
Audrey - 11/21/2017
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time so far at John Tyler Community College and I'm happy to be working towards getting my Associate's degree while saving thousands of dollars. I'm excited to be able to then transfer to almost any four-year university in Virginia. couldn't have done it without John Tyler!

Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
What is unique about John Tyler is that the teachers truly care about their students, and want you to challenge yourself to grow as a person and as an artist/designer/scientist, or whatever you are majoring in. I am doing projects I've never done before, like video and sculpture, and it is showing me a whole new way to discover the world and myself. John Tyler helps you achieve your goals, one class at a time. It is a ton of fun. They are also more cost-effective, and friendly, much more so than J. Sargeant Reynolds.
It is a great community college in a great location. It has reasonable tution and many types of schedules. It has many great healthcare programs. They are adding more each year.
Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
JTCC is a great school. They campus is pretty small but very nice. They used to just have two buidings: Business and an Acedemic building but since there is a lot of students going there, they had to make a new building called the Science building. It is a very clean and secure buildings. They have security systems in the parking lots. Also, they offer students to sign up for tyler alert, which keeps them updates with news and weather conditions etc. The way they have set up their schedules is great. It is the best school in Richmond, Virginia.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
The people who should not attend john tyler are people with majors in mind that are uncommon such as music majors, hair dressers, or film majors. There are prerequisite classes available for majors such as these but there are not many.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
That I am not viewed as under 24 self sufficient. I live on my own, pay for all my bills, and receive no help finanically from my parents. I have lived on my own for almost two years once January 2010 comes around. I need all the help I can get since I only make 9.00/hour. I work full time and go to school part time. I am trying to prove that I am self sufficient to help myself currently.
