Truckee Meadows Community College is a wonderful school with many opportunities for all students. The range of classes is impressive for a two-year college, with not only different types of classes but different options for professors as well. The professors at the school are continuously trying to ensure the success of their students, with the goal of understanding in mind. Whether it is working together to develop a time to go over content, asking questions consistently, or reaching out to guarantee all students can be triumphant in class. The school harbors a sense of community between staff and students as well, with continued conversations after class and walking alongside professors to continue classroom topics when possible. There are so many clubs with many interests, whether artistic, recreational, or developmental. During elections, many people attempt to get people to vote or understand better what is going on in government. And outside of those times, there are religious or other groups also attempting to reach out and teach students. My major issue with the school has been the difficulty of contacting and working with their counselors. Appointments are hard to come by and when they are available, they are at awkward times and maybe only one or two appointments at a time. Throughout my time at Truckee Meadows Community College, I have struggled setting up these appointments, but the appointments themselves are helpful and so are the counselors. Overall, this is a fantastic school with a multitude of opportunities for students to learn both from each other and the professors.

aixa - 10/31/2024

Very awesome and hope to start studying there for the fall I also saw that it was very cheerful and very nice with a lot to offer, career wise and the students have a very welcoming vibe as well as the teachers they always try to support you and help you in any questions or concerns that I may have either it being in school or financial wise

Savanna - 06/23/2024

It is a great college and despite what people think about community college, this is an amazing college that really help with academics. The professors are always helpful and nice and I've had a very good time visiting this college so far!

Marina - 01/24/2021

It was very difficult to get enrolled but it's awesome once I am finally in. Due to Covid-19, there is not many activities but TMCC tried their best to get everyone involved. I am always updated about events on campus and truly enjoy my experience at this college.

  3. What's unique about your campus?

    Truckee Meadows for me is a booster school its helping me getting down all my core classes and is helping prepare me for bigger things. The best thing is I?m getting my associates degree for a lot less money and its helping me transfer to the University of Nevada Reno. Without this community college I probably wouldn?t have been able to afford college all together. It?s help minimize the loans I?ve needed to take out and given me a broader education.

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

    What I don't like about TMCC is the way some of the receptionist's help or try and answer your questions. They would, sometimes, not let you finish asking your question before they answer. There are times when you ask for something specific then they answer it differently, then they don't always do everything in thier power to try and help you figure things out. these are the things I dont like about TMCC.

  6. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I did quite a bit of research about this particular school as well as the program I was hoping to persue before I enrolled. I adapted quickly to the Community College setting (I had attended a major University for two years) so that was not something I felt unprepared for. I guess the only thing I really wish I could have known before enrolling is whether or not I am going to be accepted to the Radiology program this fall, I am very anxious to find out.

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

    I'm not sure who shouldn't attend the college. The reason's being its fairly reasonable moneywise, the classes are medium sized. You could blend in and be invisible but you would'nt be lost or forgotten by the teacher. Most of the proffesors are also very willing to help you in passing thier classes. There is a disabilities resource center to help with extra testing time and, a quiter testing room. There is also a free tutoring center for computers to spanish, and to study aswell.

  9. Describe the students at your school.

    My classmates are very organized and keep up with their work. They take school very seriously and participate in every activity. Everyclass mate that I have has a unique personality. Some are sweet and outgoing and others are shy and quite but, when it comes to school they all do what it takes to recieve the best grade they can get. I guess you can say they are inspirational its awesome feeling to see them work so hard to earn a degree and I feel really proud to say that i am proud to be part of an amazing school.

  10. What kind of person should attend this school?

    TMCC is a great school, same classes as a 4 yr. college although the cost is less, classes are smaller. It's a great first time school for someone who wants the college experience, but is intimidated by the thought of attending a larger college.
