This is a great place to return to school. Everyone is open, welcoming, and helpful. Its nice to not feel like an oddity as an adult learner. The professors are helpful and kind and are willing to work with you. Additionally, NSCC makes it affordable and tries to help students in anyway they can... particularly those challenged with housing, food insecurity, and other such things.

khual - 11/02/2020

Marshall - 05/30/2020

Some of the things that I love about Nashville State Community College are the location and amenities of the main campus, the organization between teachers and advisors, and the combination of day and night classes. All of my teachers have been invested in how the class does and very knowledgable about the subject they teach. Overall it has been a great experience and I'm very pleased with everyone that works there and the education I'm getting.

Desirae - 05/18/2020

My overall opinion of Nashville State Community College is a 3 star rating. There are multiple campuses to provide a convenient travel to education. The campuses are located in urban areas filled with eateries, corner stores and bus stops. The advisors are sub-par due to the lack of replies and guidance for first time students choosing classes and/or transferring credits. However, first time students benefit from registering at Nashville State due to the smaller class sizes resulting in a personalized experience with classmates and professors. As for military students, NSCC does provide a military representative which aids past service members in using GI Bill benefits and earning Basic Housing Allowance. In turn, the college is consistently "relieving" their representatives which yields to working with inexperienced "vet-reps" that lack ability to answer basic questions. Although the veteran representatives do their best in making our modern day heroes feel comfortable by acquiring answers through research, the service inadequate. On the other hand, NSCC has a large amount of "student vets" which allows vets to transition from boots to academics with ease. To add, the honors society of Nashville State Community College allows veterans to join with a 3.0 GPA, whereas other students have to join with a 3.25 GPA. The curriculum is average in terms of degree paths. Learning from the professors (in lighter terms) is honestly a hit or miss. In my experience, there are professors that value the unique learning styles of students, as well as professors with multiple complaints to the Dean. The STEM path, is filled with women and minorities which makes the field extremely uplifting for females and individuals of other ethnic backgrounds. As a Hispanic/Pacific Islander, a woman, and a veteran I feel comfortable being a STEM major and a "student vet" at Nashville State Community College for the reasoning of the student support on campus. However, the college can do more to provide an enjoyable experience to the students. Overall, the college is not the best by far, but certainly not the worst. Like everywhere, Nashville State has its short-comings and their high points.

  6. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The construction going on at Nashville State, due to the increase in addmissions, has made maneuvering the campus a difficult process.

  8. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    There is a very noticeable lack of motivation from most students. Many show up to class half-way through the period and many do not participate at all. The professors unfortunately accept this behavior and I feel that it hinders my learning ability. I enjoy group discussions and a controlled learning environment. I do not think that Nashville State Community College offers enough of either of those two things.
