11 Students rated Richmond Community College

Ella - 11/13/2022

I genuinely enjoy my morning drive to campus. I am a dually enrolled student, so my day Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays begin with an 8-10 A.M. Math lecture, which I seldom enjoy due to my performance in the subject. I do however enjoy my professors teaching style, his personality, and how connected he is to his students. My lecture is small, but I think it the right size to learn Pre-Calculus, and I am friends with my classmates which makes it all the more better. My Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings consist of an 8 A.M. Art Appreciation lecture, which I enjoy attending due to my professors vast knowledge on the subject, my involved classmates, and how simple of a subject it is to understand. My day continues with a 9:20 Spanish lecture, which I enjoy because of my love of languages, my intelligent professor, and benevolent classmates. I could speak no higher of RCC than I do now and it has given me so many more reasons than one to be excited to continue my education next semester.

Kayla - 04/30/2019

Richmond Community College was my first step to starting my college career. I started taking classes here through the Richmond Early College program, which I will graduate from this May, along with my associates in science. I genuinely feel as though RCC has prepped me for life at a four-year university, as I will be attending North Carolina State University this coming fall semester.

Zachary - 04/08/2019

It has nursing and educational programs, and it allows a student to attend college for little to no cost before transferring to a larger university. There are also career-oriented classes taught to prepare students for jobs such as lineman or HVAC. Overall, RCC is an excellent option for a person looking for a no-frills school that offers an inexpensive education to prepare for future endeavors.

Billy - 03/17/2019

Richmond community college is a amazing campus school that offers plenty of programs in the engineering and mechanical department. They have a good grasp on mechanical and electrical engineering departments but do not offer an excessive amount of art programs. The campus is safe and creates a safe and comfortable atmosphere with the students.

Richmond Community College FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Richmond Community College?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Richmond Community College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Look inward,trust yourself, and play the game. There is much advice I would unload upon my former self, but that by far would be the most useful advice. Had I been less preoccupied by the confusion supplied by those around me, I believe I would have made less regretable errors. Had I but known that understanding myself and trusting my own thoughts would be sufficient rather than accepting the burden of trying to make sense of those around me, I would have been able to grow much faster and with less worry due to not fitting in. In my senior year, I learned I was an introvert and only then did things become much clearer for me. Learning my personality type instantly helped me accept mysef, but it is a shame I could not have done so sooner and on my own. Most problems are caused by our own inner turmoil and are within our control. The problems that are outside ourselves cannot be controled, but can be handled if one can only accept their own passive position. One must decipher what they have control over and what they do not. Only then can the game be properly played.

  6. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    Getting adjusted to the class setting and the way the instructors teach. The school is small and so are the classrooms so you have to adjust well with a little space. The parking is also a hassle especially if you have one of those morning when your'e running late. The school doesn't have a cafeteria but there are some restaurants close by if you have time.
