    Am learning a lot

    Since becoming a student at Roane State Community College, I am learning so much every single day! I couldn’t be happier with the quality education I receive from my instructors. No matter the course- College Algebra, Composition, or Anatomy & Physiology- you can count on getting the help you need from qualified teachers who truly care about you as a student and as an individual. The teachers use so many different methods to evaluate how well students are absorbing the material. You can expect to see a variety of quizzes, tests, group projects, essays, lab sessions, group discussions, and more. You can even choose to learn online! I’ve taken traditional courses at 3 of RSCC’s campuses, and I’ve also taken a few courses online, and I have nothing but good things to say about both options. The online courses are really interactive and stimulating for students. In addition to having overwhelming support within the classrooms, students also receive tons of help from the RSCC Library and Learning Center. The Library has access to tons of free resources to expand students’ knowledge of literature, science, and current events, for example. The Learning Center is a gem at RSCC. When a student visits the Learning Center, they can expect to get high-quality free tutoring in math, science, writing, Spanish, accounting, technology essentials, or general study skills. They are also open for personal study time and computer usage. I’m a huge fan! Roane State has given me a firm foundation of knowledge on which I can build a career!
    Am enjoying being here

    I couldn’t be happier at Roane State Community College! Over the past two years, I’ve learned so much, and I’ve made so many new friends. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to attend such a wonderful school. There’s always an attitude of encouragement and success at RSCC. Everyone around you is constantly working to help you propel forward in your life and career. I feel like a small part of a family at Roane State, and I couldn't ask for more!
    Bang for the buck

    When it comes to value, Roane State Community College truly excels. They provide me with everything I need to be successful at a fraction of the cost of surrounding colleges. In addition to having significantly lower tuition costs than many other colleges, they also have numerous scholarship opportunities! Every person you encounter at RSCC genuinely wants you to be there, and they all put in an effort to help you get what you need to succeed!
    Tips for prospective students

    If you want to succeed at Roane State Community College, the most important piece of advice is to go to class. Nobody can expect to do well in a course if they never attend the lectures. Another tip that may seem a little obvious is to make the effort to read all of the recommended material in each course. Also, don’t forget to take your own notes during class- complete with multiple colored highlighters! Another important step to succeeding is to talk with your instructors outside of class during office hours or by e-mail. It’s smart to separate yourself from those who are simply in the class and those who are really diving into the course! Another piece of advice is to form study groups for tough classes. Sometimes, hearing different people talk about the material can really help it all stick in your mind. My final piece of advice is to routinely look over the syllabi for your classes so you always know what to expect. Good luck at RSCC!

    Roane State Community College is great for students who prefer smaller classes, are self-motivated, and are looking for a less-expensive education. They are well-known in the area for their excellent Nursing program and Allied Health Science programs. I recommend it to any student seeking an Associate’s Degree or looking to earn credits that will transfer to a 4-year university.

    Academic Rigor

    Roane State Community College is the next step up from high school. It has flexible classes that are more difficult and require more attention than high school courses but are not as hard as they would be at a big college. There are also a comfortable amount of students in each class, so you aren't overwhelmed by a crowded room, also allowing more one on one help.
    Dorm Life

    Roane State provides the ability to live at home in your comfort zone. Driving to school is not a big problem, there are many Roane State Colleges throughout Tennessee. I live only 30 minutes away from my Roane State!
    Food and Dining

    Surrounding Roane State are many restaurants, you can stop and get lunch between your classes easily. Who doesnt want a big tasty burger after hours in class?

    i would rate roane state community college as a 9 out of 10. the most important aspect i like about rscc is the hometown feel of the school and campus. the instructors take time to get to know you and you can get know your classmates, which makes it better when you need to study and prepare for class or projects.
    Tips for prospective students

    try to know what types of classes you are interested in and would like to take. if you are unsure, the people in the business office and the professors will help you decide.
    Academic Rigor

    so far, as a freshman, i have had to study more than high school because the classes are a lot more demanding. again, i have had made friends in the majority of my classes so when i cannot go and talk to an instructor i can contact someone from my class to help with assignments.

    i'm a breakfast person so the breakfast is pretty good. i don't eat at the cafeteria that often.
    What to do for fun

    luckily this is the main campus so they do have sports events that you can attend.
    Bang for the buck

    because you can use the hope scholarship and other scholarships that you may receive here, it really does help in the cost of tuition. because tuition here is not as high as other universities i hope to save money by attending here in order to go on to a 4 year- university in 2 years.
    Great for these types of students

    students are great! because it a small population you can get to know people and can hang out.

    i'm not real active in any clubs right now but there are several activities to be involved in while here.

    Because it is a smaller school you are able to actually talk to the professors if you have a question, and not just be one of over 100 students in one class.
    Bang for the buck

    It's a community college so that automatically makes it cheaper than a four year university. However you are getting just as much or even more education than if you did go to a four year school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be organized. You're not in high school anymore, professors don't like excuses. If you wait until the last minute on your class work it will show. This goes for every college not just Roane State.
    Great for these types of students

    Nursing is a very popular major at Roane State.
