Angeline - 03/18/2021

Professors are always there to help out their students and very easy to make friends in class.

Sarah - 05/10/2019

Tunxis is great for people who are looking for an inexpensive alternative or are going back to school. The class sizes are small, there’s a great library, and professors truly care about your progress. There isn’t much of a campus culture, considering it is all commuter-based and organizations/clubs are not super prevalent, but you can still get involved.

Antonino - 11/07/2018

Tunxis Community College has a great facility where they have a great library and rooms to study. There are 6 to 7 computer labs including the one in the library and each lab has at least 15 to 20 computers. Tunxis is delightfully very diverse with all kinds of people and an array of courses that will fit a students need and level. The teachers are unmatched in terms of being exceptionally helpful and being able to contact them. Unfortunately Tunxis suffers when being able to socialize. Since it is a Community College many students don't stay after class so it can be very lonely and gets tiresome quickly because you just go to class then leave and go home. Overall, Tunxis is very effective and second to none, when it comes to how affordable it is. I would recommend people to Tunxis if they are trying to save money and look for a way to get off their feet in terms of academics.

Kimberly - 10/30/2018

Tunxis Community College offers a variety of class options. This school is extremely accessible for those who are just coming from high school all the way to those who are going to college in their adult lives. They offer degrees fully online in subjects like business administration and general studies which is almost unheard of for an accredited college.

    If I could go back and speak with myself as a high school senior I would tell myself that there are 24 hours in a day, and the most important thing you can remember to do is maintain a balance. The three major, important things in life are work, sleep and play. If there are 24 hours in a day then you should divide it up and devote 8 hours to each and you'll maintain a healthy balance, making life less stressful.

  4. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    You know how everyone talks about what shcool they'll attend when they graduate? Well, all of my buddies went to "cool" schools like USC or Syracuse, and then here I am going to a community college. Pretty lame right? Yeah I suppose so, until you consider 4 years down the road. My buddies took out college loans, so when they graduate they'll have upwards of 100k in debt. For a fraction of the cost, and without loans I can attend tunxis with equal opportunities. So if you don't think "debt" is cool, go to tunxis!

  5. Describe your favorite campus traditions.

    Everywhere I went people would always ask me: what school are you going to? My peers would snicker, likewise, any adult would praise my wise decision to attend an affordable school. I didn't mind my buddies teasing me, but I surely found comfort when teachers and professors would tell me that for the price, tunxis can't be beat. So really it depends who you ask. A young kid might view tunxis as a joke, however, all the adults I talked with immediately pointed out the cheap pricing and quality education offered at Tunxis. After all, money matters most.

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

    If I had to choose one thing about my school that I didn't enjoy so much was the adjunct professors not being required to have office hours. It was more difficult to get in contact with them, and the school e-mail system could have been more effective.
