Ashton - 04/15/2024

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.

Miriam - 06/08/2020

I have been a student at John C Calhoun State Community College for about two years now. I am doing my prerequisites at Calhoun and then transferring over to The University of Alabama in Birmingham. Calhoun allows me to work with my work schedule and I am able to afford to pay for classes. It is taking me longer to finish my prerequisites as I do not have the money to fully enroll as a full time college student. Calhoun allows you to have more one to one interaction with your instructor as classes are smaller. Calhoun also offers tutoring to help you succeed in your classes. Calhoun makes you feel like you are at home and not just an institute. It gives you the opportunity to interact with other people with their various activities throughout the campus.

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.
