One of the most beautiful 👩‍🎓college campuses in the southeast United States. Nestled just northeast of downtown Winston-Salem, best campus has tons of greenery, open fields and green space to lounge or play sports, has a nature trail with access to Reynolda Village with shops and eateries, and a supreme education as well. The campus has plenty of ♿ handicap accessible features from parking, to elevators, to restrooms, and ramps.Jordan Burleson

Very nice place. Very clean and they have an awesome war veterans memorial. Went to see my Clemson Tigers play. Enjoyed the experience and the people here are so nice!David Lindsay

I recently took a class at Piedmont Community College and I have the BEST instructors Kim Tingen and Angie Conner are the Bomb.Com. I finished the class with an A and passed my state boards to become a CNA. looking to take CNA II soonAmisha Thompson

Attended an induction ceremony. All went as planned, and was handled in a professional manger. Also visited nursing and CNA classroom. Very impressed with the instructor for the CNA program.Judy Rice

I'm currently enrolled in PCC. I enjoy the school and the area that it's in, but it seems to be understaffed, which gives off a stressful vibe from some of the faculty.Byrd_CN

I'm in love with this school. It has provided me the tools for success, and overall has helped my confidence as a leader. The school may be small, but has activities that are present throughout the week. This could be writing workshops, movie nights, sport games, musicals, dance parties, etc. The resources available on campus are all next to each other, so traveling from place to place is swift. Professors are also really nice, and there for the students. Overall it's been a great experience.Davyous Melvin

As a transfer student and think I made the BEST decision by enrolling in Peace. This is a campus where you will find your family for life and will be guided by professors through the years to be the most successful version of yourself. The students in my major have morphed into family and my professors are like second parents. I have found my home away from home. 10/10.Sara Siwinski

This is an amazing university! The faculty and staff do everything in their power to make sure the students are able to grow. Although it is a small university, there are still many events that can help improve your skills academically, and they have countless events for fun too!Christian Langley

If you can't make it here then you cant make it anywhere. Everyone has worked so hard to help me achieve my goals. In two years I went from never having algebra to nursing math. Funny thing is, now I like math. Go figure! I learned more in those two years than any two years of my life. Well, outside of birth to 2 years. Hahaha. I am now peer tutoring nursing math, anatomy and physiology and chemistry. Can we say, "I've come full circle!".😁Sharon Oliver

I am taking the welding for fun class and the classroom was not prepared for teaching. The instructor was new as of tonight and he was good at what he does and accomadating but the classroom itself was not ready for a new class.Lisa Cantrell

This school is fire, and if you don't like oh well. You mad, run at me, because girl I know you lying. The teachers are nice, but homework is life for them. SO have a good night.JARJAR C

Wingate has a very personable and helpful staff many of whom have been there a long time it seems . Admissions staff was first rate. But once your student is enrolled, as a parent, you will need to be persistent to stay informed so you can help your student succeed. Wingate's technology is antiquated. Difficult to do any business online as a parent. The school is paper intensive and sometimes the paper seems to fall through cracks. Wingate only recently came up with a way for tuition to be paid online. There is no parent portal yet that allows you to stay up to date with what is due when. Bills are mailed and the expectation is you mail checks or pay on site. If they have a payment plan, they do not advertise it. Most pertinent information goes through the student portal that the parent has no access to. This creates opportunities for miscommunication and missed deadlines. The school is under-staffed. If you have to phone someone to ask for help or clarification, expect to get voicemail that states you will hear back in a couple of days at least. Email is a better option but don't expect a same-day reply. Communication is not a strength here. During this last and very widespread flu season, the campus had a very big outbreak but no classes were cancelled and parents never received any communication regarding making certain your student had a flu shot. Overall, I would say the school has its heart in the right place and most professors are engaged and want to see the students succeed. Still, the school has a ways to go in developing the kind of infrastructure that justifies its tuition costs. Wingate rightly has a reputation as a collegiate Sparta, roughly one in every four students is some sort of athlete. Not necessarily a bad thing but if your student is not going to be playing a sport or chooses to leave a sport once there, be aware of what other options they have on campus to stay engaged. The student transfer rate accelerates at year two. If campus surroundings are a consideration, know that Wingate is an exceedingly small town so that the campus is basically all there is. The neighboring town of Monroe is slightly bigger with more ammenities: small mall, Walmart and fast food options. Charlotte is a short drive beyond that. Uber is not allowed on campus, we were told. So your student needs a car or friends with wheels if he or she is going to leave campus or fly out of Douglas International. Overall, Wingate has been a good experience for our student despite a bit of heavy lifting for the parents. Having proper expectations is important when choosing a college. Before you go, we wanted you to know what our experience has been.elbee foster (elbee)

Been here for three years and all Wingate has done is raise the price of tuition while subsequently taking away things on campus. For one, they have limited our meal exchanges for Chick-Fil-A and Freshens to only two and three exchanges per week. The caf is unlimited, but they close at 8 p.m. and have limited food options. Wingate is also planning on charging us to keep our cars on campus while raising tuition at the same time. My question is why? No one asked for the DPC to be upgraded (and it was supposed to be done in January…) so why should we have to pay for it? The freshman dorms are in serious need of upgrading and the upperclassmen apartments are manageable but not worth the money, in my opinion. Honestly, the only reason I still attend Wingate is for the music department, and that’s why I gave this review 2 stars instead of 1. There is absolutely no reason that our tuition should be raised each year, that’s ridiculous and it actually causes many athletes and other students who attend Wingate on full scholarships to have to drop out. Private colleges are supposed to be essentially all-inclusive since that’s what the high tuition prices are for, but Wingate is definitely not all-inclusive and constantly cheats us out of our money.Lauren Whitley

Once a Bulldog always a Bulldog! I am completely thrilled that my one and only daughter and child will officially become a Wingate Bulldog in August 2021! Wingate University holds a special place in my heart as this is where I started my college education. I ended up transferring to complete my Nursing degree (at the time Wingate did not offer Nursing degrees) Even so, my faculty advisors and mentors steered me towards my strengths, leading me to a rewarding career in Nursing. To backtrack a little, before I started at Wingate University, one of my brothers and his now wife met at and graduated from Wingate. When I started there, I was home!Anna

Just did a tour with my sister and niece. Very impressed with the grounds, and the young lady doing the tour. She knew all kinds of interesting facts about how and when the place was built. Some of the architects details and why the buildings are the way they are. This college seems very nice and I’m now looking at other things like sports events or ways to enjoy all this college has to offer the surrounding community.Josh Darville

Wonderful College full of wonderful people! I was very anxious about my oldest going to College but Barton has eased my fears w/their orientation. They made us feel like family 💚 which is very important to me! Many thanks to seniors Malcolm & Erica, they went above & beyond helping us while we were there. Outstanding young adults! Exactly the type of people I want around my daughter, who means the world to me.D Froggiez

Me and the family had a great time @ Barton college. We were invited(my son R. Knight) to take a tour and attend the game between the Barton Bulldogs and the wingate Bulldogs. I can honestly say that it was a true DOG FIGHT. It even went into overtime. The ENERGY was on hi tonight.Columbus Knight (C. Knight)

This Is A Tricky Place For Me To Rate Because I Can't Stand Some Of Their Professors And Management Skills. Some Of Their Professors And Management Team Have It Out For Me. I Give Them What They Want And Their Never Happy With It. I Have Never Graduated From There With Any Degree And I Probably Never Will Based Upon How They Do Me. I Don't Have Any Desire To Attend There Full Time Ever Again. This Place Has Taught Me About All Corporations, They're All Corrupt At Their Core. Also, I Don't Care Who I Make "Angry" By This Review. I Hope It's Read 📚 By Some Of There Employees And They Read This And Make The Necessary Changes. Thanks Davidson-Davie Community College, Now I Never Want To Attend Any College Anywhere Ever Again Because Of Your Corruption. Which All Corporations Are Corrupt At Their Core, Even Colleges. Community Colleges Included Are Corrupt At Their Core. #DontBeMutsAllen Jolley

Important tip!! Join SSS TRIO!! They are a student support service that really cares about your success! They've got learning workshops and grant money for struggling students, either academically, financially, or both. When I went to University I never had something like this. Idk if it existed, and if it did, the University never advertised it for students. Also! This school has an amazing program for those who want to work with animals. The ZAS program (Zoo and Aquarium Science) is a 2 yr applied associates program and its goal is to get you straight into your career. They have terrestrial animals and an aquarium on site! (Sinclair building).Heather

I went for the IT area. Big mistake. They could not keep knowledgeable instuctors. Was told most would be online when enrolling and after enrollment only two classes was online. They kept putting me in classes that were to advanced like one or two classes should have been done before taking. I have a issue with walking due to a previous injury had asked for assistance to the buildings and never received. I ended up leaving due to the rude and not trained instructors and it being to much to make it up the hill to classes daily. This was in 2015, 2016.Marinda Carter

The school maybe nice, I never had the opportunity to explore, however; their paramedic program is a joke. The staff runs each class on different criteria, for instance my instructor (Wesley Carter) stated we don't do pulse checks in CPR after the first check indicating an arrest. However; as a BLS CPR instructor that is false and the AHA teaches pulse check. However; he was my instructor so in order to test out I did as he wanted and when a different instructor tested me they failed me for using the broslow tape and for not checking pulses, said I should have done it by weight based and the broslow tape is a guideline. Since then I have spoken to several national certified paramedics, nurses, and physicians that state this school is a joke and shouldn't be teaching students period and that the broslow tape is there for a reason to assist in dosing a pediatric patient when weight is not obtained. The instructors can't get on the same page and give out different requirements and if you do what one says it's wrong to every other instructor. Also they give you test out scenarios at the end every instructor does 2 which is you standard, set by North Carolina and my instructor is the only one that does 3 scenarios. No uniformity and poor quality instructors. Horrible experience that I will never get my time, my money, and my family gatherings, birth of my child, and events because these people are not on the same page.Kevin Meiser

Get me outt. If I could drop out i would. This college is awful I learn more from quizlet then I have with any teachers. The teachers here are all lazy and only care about their paycheck. I asked for help and never got a response from one teacher and I still haven't :P. What I would give to be able to drop out from this college. I'd probably learn more by asking my dog for help then any teacher here. If your looking to attend DON'T. The classes are overpriced 400 dollars for ONE CLASS. That is awful. I felt so bad I paid my parents back the money because the prices are horrendous and you won't learn anything. Just use quizlet for 4 years instead of attending here and you'll be better off in life.Niko Wetherington

2 stars for providing a college beyond high school in Kinston. One star for pay compared to other community colleges that pay adjunct instructors $35+ per hour. How has LCC contributed to Lenoir County in skills and talent? On Pitt college's website it states that its students have contributed over $114 million dollars to the local community. I walked around the college grounds and it is boring, no energy or excitement. Lastly, LCC should market more to Black students and the Black community because although Kinston is almost 70% Black; it's not reflected in its student body. Why are there wwwaaaayyy more white students than Black students at LCC? Tracey Jones, Ph.D studentTracey Jones

Heavenly Craven Community College the nicest thing that ever happen to me. CCC is of the utmost practical pleasant learning environment not to be missed. 1 Million per cent better than university. Parents send their children off with high expectations to big universities where students are swallowed up and they can easily disappear. Some universities have a 90% attrition rate of Freshmen drop out and failure. The dorm experience at university can be a series of nightmare rituals and students find themselves feeling hopeless lost and in horrendous debt. The smart start is to attend Craven Community College. Take all the classes you want to take. Keep coming back until graduation and then attend the university classes for a bachelors degree on the Craven Community College Campus. Stay local. Live good. Study in an aesthetic garden like environment where you can breath easily relax walk between classes. On break with your classmates or by yourself;You All can even chat with the Vice President.The doors are wide open to keep you coming back for more wonderful learning and skill set upgrades. You will love the college. It was the happiest special place to build yourself up. Don't miss out. If you live in New Bern; Apprenticeship programs are in the offering and work study is most opportune for students. The price for an education at Craven is an enriching empowering bargain of a life time. The campus Chief of Police Colonel Jay Logan held bible classes for us at lunch time. If you have a love for golf and leisure sports;A degree is on the table as a degree in aerospace technology. The library is quiet and the computer lab is well managed even in the hours of the evening. Ample parking and micro minutes in travel time. The teachers are always available for consultation between classes. If you require tutoring one on one;The math lab is open with qualified work study students ready to help you. You will feel safe learn a lot make Friends and be blessed with permanent memories of the happiest investment of your life;An education unlocking a multitude of doors for you The Student.Skippy WooshkaSiegelskiSwiatek

So distraught by this college. I signed up 2 months ago for a Motorcycle Safety Course. They gave me an email 3 days before the day of the class to take a 3 hour course that needs to be done before the class or 'no refund'. That was the 1st strike; people have kids and work full time. A bit long than 3 days would have been great. Then the day BEFORE the class at 5:15pm I get a phone call telling me they cancelled the class and I can't reschedule for 2+ months. I was told over the phone to come down on Monday to get my refund as I paid with cash. I get to the Workforce Development office to be treated like a crazy person by all the people working then I'm told I have to wait 2-3 weeks for it to be mailed like I'm supposed to just know this already. I would not recommend this college to anyone even as a last resort. Very unprofessional and very unfriendly.Dj Coleman

This college is an absolute joke. First, if you need to talk with someone good luck. They will never return a phone call ever. If you go to their campus they seem too busy to help. Emails are a hit or miss and will take a couple days for a response. Next, if you going for a degree here, make sure they offer all the classes here. They didn't for criminal justice and I had to Pitt CC to finish my degree. Also, their office hours is more of a suggested time for them. On base campus never seems to be open. Went their today at 2:00 (they close at 2:30), and of course no one was there. Take it from someone who has been going here for 2 1/2 years, go somewhere else. They don't care about their students.Brandon S

Huge stage area and accompanying land/ field area to house large events. Comfortably had 25,000 people present for a concert & down in front of the stage & surrounding activities was fine & not too crowded. Only complaint is parking. We had to walk what seemed like 2 miles (straight up hill) to get back to where we parked the car. They didn't offer shuttles or any type of assistance with getting people back to their vehicles. (&& I was with my 72-year old grandmother & my young daughter trying to haul our lawn chairs, cooler, stroller, ect..) They sure had people spread out all over that entire campus. && Was surprised at the traffic they were funneling down into this tiny town..Kayla Wilson

Been a while since I had been to the walking track. Added some lighting on the back side of the track closet to the creek and they have also cleaned out the underbrush enabling you to been seen all the way around the track. The track itself is either paved or fine gravel but there is a small section of larger gravel. It also connections to the greenway.Wayne (Southernbacon)

We went there for an outside concert. It was blazing heat. We saw 30 minutes of the concert. Ended up leaving because of heat exhaustion. Never again. A waste of time and money and didn't even see the artists anyway. We saw words on a screen. I actually felt sick the entire night. Had an extreme headache from the heat.Jennifer Smith

Today, I feel compelled to write about the wonderful place where I work, Cape Fear Community College. This is my third year here and quite honestly, it is by far, my favorite place of employment. The grounds at CFCC are beautiful, the students are fantastic, and the culture is what makes it truly special. That starts with our President, Mr. Jim Morton who exemplifies our vision: Building a future oriented, world class workforce and a community of lifelong-learners in partnership with regional businesses and agencies. Our students benefit from an excellent education, enhanced student life and a vast opportunity for employment and college transfer studies. Our faculty and staff are highly-qualified, diverse, and dedicated to quality education and service to the College and the community. I am proud to be a part of this amazing institution.Ginny Hayes

I don’t even know where to begin with this place. First of all if you are considering going here you need to run in the opposite direction. I moved here from out of state and gave this institution 10,000 of my dollars just to be disrespected and ridiculed by the faculty and staff. My high school teachers were more competent and respectful than anyone here. The school is run down and smells like mildew other than the main building they use to advertise this place. I did not learn one single thing the entire time I was here and let it be known that I am now graduating to be a medical professional so I was not the problem. I thank God I married my military husband and was able to escape this awful awful school. Do not go here if it’s the last thing you do.Allyson Salavitch

Be careful if using MYCAA to pay for classes, regardless of whether or not you submit on your end on time. If the school doesn't submit it on time on their end (as in my case) you'll receive a dozen and a half reminders that tuition is due (the school doesn't handle MYCAA and the funds get sent to the student to then pass on to the school and if it's not paid by "x" date at "x" time classes are dropped. Had I of known this, I would have applied for schooling elsewhere. Waste of time. Not everyone wants or needs to use FAFSA………Courtney Myszewski

Ordering books from the bookstore is a terrible experience. First, the books were listed as on back-order (which wasn't accurate, they just don't update it), but they charged TWENTY DOLLARS for GROUND shipping. If that's not gouging, I don't know what is. To add insult to injury, they require signature on the package, so I've now missed the package two days in a row because UPS won't leave it at my door. It's a damn book, I shouldn't have to sign for it. Idiots.Chris Kehres

My experience at Stanly was awesome! I was in the Criminal Justice Program. All the instructors and advisors were excellent at directing me to what step was next. The instructors were very responsive to questions and helped me through the classes step by step. I graduated with a 4.0 GPA because of this. I highly recommend Stanly Community College to anyone pursuing a career or degree in Law Enforcement or Corrections.Steve Whitesel

I was actually a student who who wore many hat's! I am a full time employee, proud mother of two, and successfully completed my Associate degree program online with Stanly. My professors and advisor were both attentive and understanding with any concerns I had. Furthermore, I was very well taken care of at this college. It was truly a wonderful experience and if they had a bachelor's program I would still be there now!Tiffani Cash

I left a BSN program to attend CCHS and it was the best decision I ever made for my nursing career! Compared to the university I previously attended, CCHS classes are small and intimate, we had easy access to our teachers and advisors and we had a TON of hands-on clinical experience. I felt very prepared for the NCLEX as well as my first nursing job after I graduated. I then was able to work as an RN while taking classes online for my BSN after I graduated. I highly recommend CCHS to anyone interested in a career in healthcare and am proud to be a CCHS alummi!Kelly Carlisle

Two days ago, I received an acceptance letter into CCHS’s Neurodiagnostic Technology program! The application process was made easy due to great communication, kindness and patience from Robert, the Coordinator of Admissions. Mrs. Ashley Hastings, the Program Chair, answered all of my questions in detail, making me more eager to join the program. I am looking forward to gaining knowledge from her. All of the staff I have come across so far at CCHS has been welcoming and kind. I highly recommend applying to Carolinas College of Health Sciences.Ahyanna

I've attended CCHS for almost 2 years now. I like how the staff has worked diligently with student during COVID-19. While everyone is still going through difficult times, they have been able to adapt to regulations and restrictions of healthcare that have been placed during the pandemic. I truly enjoy attending CCHS and I know that once I graduate from the nursing program, I will have all the tools, training, and guidance needed to provide excellent care to all patients.Stephanie Lemons

Annoying town to live in. Southern hospitality doesnt exist in Boone. Its full of stuck up hippies. Counting down the days till I transfer to Colorado. If you're transferring here, good luck. My girlfriend has been petitioning classes that they haven't counted since she first got here. They're screwing her out of 27 credit hours that she finished at her old school. Math department is atrocious. I'm in college algebra now and the teacher lost my first test because she took priority in grading a 2 page paper on success before she graded the test. Also, if you're coming here to watch football, the atmosphere sucks. More than half of the crowd is out of the stadium before halftime. Hardly anyone actually cares about the team, they just use it as an excuse to tailgate and get trashed in a public parking lot.Chris King

Was a very good experience. Best was the faculty, who are from all over the country and internationally as well. I attended another college for a second degree after ASU and had a bad experience which really highlighted how superior ASU's instruction and advice really was. They do not waste your time. If there was a downside, it was probably the fact that many of the students are from western North Carolina, so some of the perspectives were a bit of a culture shock for me. They have several excellent programs, particularly business, music, education, art, as well as some unusual programs like communications disorders.JW41926

Attending this school has been the worst experience that I have EVER had! From advisor who do not know what they are doing to transcript office personal that have very bad attitudes and are extremely rude. They also "conveniently" forget to post important dates that student need to know. After finally graduating from this school a year late, I will NEVER encourage anyone to attend this school. But, I would encourage everyone who currently attends this school to get out while they are ahead! And to the alumni association you can stop calling because I will NEVER donate money to this sorry excuse of a school!Hannah Hendrix

The instructors in HVAC-R are knowledgeable and relatable, however I am disappointed that there are no night classes the second year making it difficult for those who have other responsibilities to work full time and go to school. Also I feel the curriculum schedule makes it to where you teach yourself and the instructors go over what you read instead of the regular cover it in class then do homework. I feel this may be a way to make it more difficult and have more intelligent technicians but not allowing everyone the opportunity to learn.Matthew Edwards

I currently am a part of the student body here at ACC, in the HVACR program. I’ve had nothing but excellent experiences here, and all of my teachers, advisors, and administrators have been very helpful. The VA Coordinator, Ms. Morton has done an outstanding job keeping me in the loop when it comes to my VA benefits. Overall a very Veteran Friendly School, and a great place for learning and growing. Keep up the good work!Kiefer Knight

This college is great. I have most of friends here and it’s a very intellectual environment. I am currently attending in the new facility that they have built on the far side of the campus and everything is astonishing. The HVAC program is very good and the teachers are very good at instructing us.Jesus Mora

The Barber School at James Sprunt is the top of the line. You can get any barber service there for much less than any shop. It is clean, comfortable, and professional. The students are dressed professionally, they are clean, and are taught to be respectful to clients. Patsy McCoy (daytime instructor) and Sylvester Snow (night instructor) are focused on excellence, not only in training barbers, but in developing leaders. I highly recommend this school over others to potential barber students.The Blend Hair Studio, Inc.

The school is great overall. However anytime I call I have a hard time getting in contact with anyone and no one returns my phone calls. Registration is almost over and I've been reaching out to my advisor since the beginning of last month to register and still no response. I know that I am not the only student and there are many reaching out for help but it is just ridiculous that I haven't received a response in a month now.Cynquetta Farrior

Great small town college, good variety of courses online in person. And hybrid. Awesome instructors who work with you and want to see you succeed. Many programs avaible like the spartan table,, tutoring,, designed to support the diverse population of a community College. As a working parent, their flexible classes and support was amazing.April Quinn

Pfeiffer sell itself on being small, close, and caring. It is small but the close and caring not so much. Faculty and academic advisers fall short in many categories. In the age of ed tech many professors do not post grades or have any method of giving feedback tot he student where their grades stand until the mid term and final grade?!? The academic advisers do not help or advocate for the students in any way shape or form they are there only to sign you up for your classes. don't expect to get any help or guidance on finances as the business and finance department leave it all up to you and you are stuck doing ALL of the leg work. I noticed certain sports at Pfeiffer are treated like gods, and others are almost ignored. This I am sure is due to the fact that the Athletic Director is the head coach for a specific sport. The freshman dorms SUCK! Finally, be ready to be nickeled and dimed to death!! For a school that charges $40,000 per year you would think that includes all of your fees…think again! E learning fee, orientation fees, and dorm "damage" fees (for someone leaving the door open (everyone gets charged $5 each time it happens…even though the doors were broken most of the time and the college maintenance crew would also leave them open! Once past all of that nonsense the campus is quite beautiful and secluded. There is very little to do other than study and attend on campus activities. On the weekend it was fun to explore Charlotte with classmates.crispus attucks

Cool small University with lots of satellite locations to serve a broader population. Beautiful historic chapel with amazing pipe organ and nice facilities for athletics and academics. Love how Pfeiffer has always been a part of the Northern Stanly County community.Brian Hammill

Pfeiffer is exactly what you make it. It is a family away from home and a really good support system. The housing director is actually not that bad and our teachers really understand the concept of being a person and not a number.Kendra Wilson

Out of the 4 community colleges I have taken courses at, ABTech has been the worst by far. I have had the worst experience with advising/registration trying to get scheduled for the classes I want. Everyone I speak to just turns me in circles and no one seems to understand what to do in order to help me go where I need to go. They only give you 48 hours once classes start to switch them around if need be, but you need an advisor to approve before you can register for anything different, but you can’t get in to meet with an advisor till days after the deadline. I feel so defeated. I worked so hard to get the courage to return to school, just to not be able to take any courses this semester. Wasting my time and my financial aide. I would not recommend going here. 😓Brynn Dunlap

The staff here are for the most part very friendly and easy to be around. The administration however, is terribly unorganized. It's not uncommon to get information from their website or info center, but be told the complete opposite by a faculty member or chair person. I was following a recommended schedule for the program I'm in, when it was changed completely without any notice. Half the classes I was told to take this Fall are no longer offered, and it will now take me twice as long to complete my program. Long story short- don't attend AB tech if you're pursuing a degree or diploma. I'd only recommend this place to continuing education students.Andy Albert

LOVE this school! I am graduating this May from the Radiography program and will graduate next May with an AS in Biochemistry. AB Tech has made the process smooth and efficient for me, just as I worked hard to make sure I turned everything needed for processing my information early to them to ensure success. The teachers are fantastic and truly care about their students. I am so grateful for the writing, math and science study labs as well because the staff there gave me the extra help I needed whenever a concept was tough. I have worked hard here and it has been worth it!Annebritt Birkeland

As a staff member I just wanted to clarify the review by Trudy. We do not ask for proof of residence to use our library. All community college libraries are public. Also, our computers are available to all our patrons for however long they would need to use them. In the event of all of them being used and a student needing to get on one we would probably ask a public library patron to accommodate the student. However we do have an adequate amount of computers that we haven't run into that problem yet. : ) If you want a nice quiet place to study, we are your library! It is especially quiet on days when school is out but we are open. The staff are friendly and willing to help with research and computer needs. We also have many interesting books and movies. Come on in and check some out! : )Cindy Baker

Have used the library and computers on numerous occasions. Open to non-college folks with proof of city residence. Student employees helpful when needed. Computer time limited if not a student. Great resource, though! This college is growing fast! Lots of programs not normally available to those not looking for a degree. Short programs/training for those wanting additional information for better jobs, etc. Finally knocked down old hospital on West End St and a new nursing school will begin to be erected soon according to press releases. Will bring more traffic to area but learning facilities are always a boom to the area.Trudy G.

For a school that promotes women's strength and diversity, I am appalled to see that racism for the current students is still rampant. For those women to feel afraid and not be able to come forward and speak against it, is abhorrent. Do better. How can you allow for advisor's and students alike to treat others like that? Do better, it's 2022. Also, as I toured, I went with a family member. It was assumed I was a single mother and between the families who toured my "daughter" and I were skipped over for some questions while the larger families with relatives were asked more. I find this to be extremely telling along with the racism that this would not be a school I'd want my daughter or anyone's daughter to attend until they can work on their biases. It's also a little alarming they don't talk about what grants or how much anything is until you've been "admitted." And even more so when you find reviews elsewhere that state that they mess with tuition, or charge more without letting people know. For a school that charges so much, the environment seemed lacking. Also the tour guide mentioned something about being able to help children with autism, in a way that makes me feel like it's meant for others to feel good and not benefit the children. The approach in which it was talked about could have been more tasteful. Also how can you give a tour and not know anything about any of the degrees offered there? Little disappointing. In short: send your daughters elsewhere. This school has many improvements to make.E C

I have an Odd and an Even daughter and we were absolutely thrilled with Meredith! I always felt my daughters were safe there and never felt uneasy about leaving them there. Everyone from the President to the Maintenance staff to all of the Professors made us feel they genuinely wanted our daughters as students and not just our checkbook. Both of my girls really enjoyed their time there and I would recommend it to any prospective student to at least visit, It isn't for everyone but both of my girls were very pleased with the education they received.Brian Smith

Grad from several years back. Extremely few adequate professors/ administrators, majority incorporate liberal indoctrination into curriculum. Way too expensive , and college caters mostly to those who live on campus. The job I am currently employed at pays more than the jobs my degree is for. Be smart and do the research to look for a much less expensive college , and consult multiple sources before getting a degree that allows you limited career opportunities. Be smart and do the research! God bless.Nicole Kul
