- I have mixed feelings about this school. First the good: I love the food court! The fireplace and open windows in the food court are so beautiful, especially when it's snowing outside. Also, folks in the bookstore are really helpful.
The bad: I hate snakes and the water stream that runs through the MIDDLE of the school is full of snakes. There are warning signs to watch out for snakes. And the parking! It's 200-300 feet to trek to class no matter where you have to park.
That's it. Other than that, I graduated in 2009 with my associate's degree and left for Australia the very next day. No bad memories here about TCC.

- I attended different classes from 1978 to 1990. I found the times and schedules perfect. The instruction was above average. The cost was very reasonable. Time has only made it better. A great starting point for a good college education.

- if your paying out of pocket your in luck, cause the TCC financial aid office will give you the run around the entire time. The phone numbers they give you are bogus and you usually have to drive from whatever location your at just to talk to someone in person. Good luck! really sad the school has let something like this get so out of hand.
