It is the top-rated community college in the state. The professors and staff all do their best to make sure that students have job opportunities after graduation. I really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and campus. The professors are quick to answer emails, and the free on-site tutoring program is really helpful.

Joesph - 08/06/2023

So far the campus is nice I have not yet attended any classes but it seems safe. I haven't really meet anyone there other than a few people that admin the course that i have selected.

Hannah - 10/19/2022

Calhoun community college is a lovely school, but there's always room for improvement. I think that we could make students feel more accepted and involved if there wasn't as much LGBTQ bashing done by some of the professors and clubs. I think that we could also work on making text books more affordable and easy to assess.

Live every moment of everyday to the fullest, because college and high school are a lot different. I used to rush myself to get out of high school, and now all I wish is that I was back in high school. I would tell my high school self to take more chances and have fun, join clubs, do more school activities, and enjoy my friends while I still have them. I always missed out on so much in school that I regret all the time, and I wish I could go back and do it all over again.
