Kaitlin - 10/05/2019

Surry is a great Community College for many students to start off in. The professors are some of the best I've worked with and really encourage their students to grab their dreams. My favorite memory was the art gallery days they would have every year to show off middle and high school art work. It gives you a great perspective on art through various ages. My only complaint would be about the parking. It is a game of hide-and-seek most days.

Carolyn - 09/14/2019

Surry Community College is a great option for those who are interested in all things environmental science. The instructors are always available and want to help all students as much as possible. I love this school because it will make my experience at a 4-year school so much smoother (they also have lots of other programs for people who don't plan on going to a 4-year school).

Lyndsay - 11/19/2018

Surry Community College is an outstanding college for those who desire to be close to home but still obtain an excellent education. The campus is laid out in a way that allows for students to feel safe and comforted. From a quick visit to the campus, I quickly learned that the professors and academic advisers were always available to students. Unlike many universities, the teachers of Surry Community College are looking for a personal, yet professional, relationship with their students in order for them to have the help that they may need. It is a highly recommendable college that I can't wait to attend in the near future.

Destiny - 09/06/2018

It is awesome! So glad I made the choice to come here and further my education. The professors and staff are so very helpful with classwork and such. The food is amazing from the grill. I love the atmosphere, it's so friendly. The gym is always open and I very much enjoy using that.

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

    As an advisement to high school seniors, I would recommend that they make a list of all of the possible careers they want to pursue and decide which one interests them the most. After deciding which career path they want to take, I advise that they talk to a univeristy or college counselor to seek information on the requirements involved to be accepted into that college or univeristy. In doing so, try to apply for scholarships and grants ahead of time to get financial assistance on college tuition, dorms (if applicable), books, and for personal use. In addition to this, get a pre-major guide for the major you are pursuing, and follow it. Try your best at earning an "A" in each course, this will increase your GPA (Grade Point Average) and will give you a better chance at getting into the university you apply into. As a student always be respectful to others, take notes on each class lecture and study them.
