Domenique - 02/03/2020

RCC is a great community college to attend although they are small, they find ways to connect students with the opportunities present. The dean is always sending out emails letting everyone know of the monthly events and there times. Not only are the students friendly but the faculty without a doubt wants us to succeed.

Sydney - 05/30/2019

I absolutely loved attending Rappahannock Community College for my first two years of college. Thanks to attending RCC, I was able to pay for my tuition all by myself. The staff and professors are wondering and always eager to help and assist anyway they can. RCC is located in a convenient area so kids from all the surrounding counties are able to attend without a very long commute. The atmosphere is welcoming and there are always things going on on our small campus. The classroom sizes were prefect. Thanks to smaller class sizes, teacher and students were able to have a more one on one experience. I love RCC and would recommend it to anyone on the verge about attending.

Sarah - 03/31/2019

I started taking classes at Rappahannock Community College during my Junior year of high school. I decided to attend RCC for one year upon graduating high school, before transferring to a four year school and it was a great decision that I do not regret. It is a great, small, and friendly school that is an amazing bridge from high school to college and has a top rated nursing program. It is all around a great place to be at.

Brazjae - 12/08/2018

It is an okay school. I feel some of the professors could be more involved. An online professor I had this semester was not very good in explaining to me so I sometimes don’t recommenced online classes. The admissions department is good. They always respond and send documents in a timely manner.

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

    Surely by now you have noticed that some people just seem to be lucky. They say ?I was just at the right place at the right time.? This may be true, but the fundamental truth is, they were at the right place. The key is to be in the places where opportunities abound. College is a place of amazing opportunity. Show up, everyday, and get involved. Be prepared to handle the task at hand. Show up for class. Complete the assignments you are given. Give it your best effort. Take pride in your work. Take responsibility for yourself when your work is not up to par. Trust me, there will be those times when mediocre is the very best you can muster. Falling short on a task is not failure. Failure is falling down and not getting back up again. We all have made, and will continue to make mistakes. It is how we learn. The future stands before you. Show up. Be prepared. Do the work. Remember that champions pay the price. Make the most of every opportunity. ?Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am the master of my fate and the captain of my soul.? ~ Henley

  4. Describe the students at your school.

    There is a great diversity of students at RCC. Students from all walks of life share a common goal of obtaining a highler level of education. I was slightly leary of returning to college at my age (44) , but arrived to find several students from my generation. Not only in my age bracket, but several groups representing various age groups from dual credit high school students on up. Although there is a large range of ages, all the students share a commonality in their search for a better education. It is the tie that binds us and strenghtens us.

  7. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    If you thought a Rappahannock Community College was going to provide you with an inferior education, then perhaps this is not the school for you . While RCC is a lower cost option for many students, the work load is comparable to any four year university. If you are planning to skate by, RCC will not be right for you. The instrcutors at RCC are here to help you, but they will push you to expand your mind through creative thinking assignments designed to get you to analyze and think critically.
