Great 2 yr. community college. Great college for dual-enrollment students. Tuition is free due to the Hope Scholarship funding. There a a lot of online courses and the professors are always available for help. The dual enrollment program is great and there is a dual-enrollment grant available for high school students.

I love Pellissippi State Community College. The professors and students are very helpful and friendly. The campus is the perfect size. Everything is within easy walking distance and you rarely go a day without running into a friend you had not expected to see.

Anastasia

I absolutely love the college! I currently attend the Hardin Valley campus and am obtaining my associate's from Pellissippi in the spring! I've been able to prove my academic ability at this college and have felt more comfortable on this campus than any other campus I have been on in the past. I recommend this community college to everyone I know.

I have attended Pellissippi State on and off since I graduated from high school. It is a great institution and everyone that works there is very helpful. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about PSCC.

Pellissippi State Community College FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Pellissippi State Community College?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Pellissippi State 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?

    Focus, dedication, and determination are all needed in the college world. Assuming I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would give myself a lot of advice. I would advise to work on my study skills. In college hours are needed to perform well on tests and exams. Study skills in high school are not stressed as much as they should be. I would also advise myself to fill out more financial aid. Filling out the FAFSA was very helpful, but didn't cover everything. With the help of financial aid I would be "worry free" about the money and could completely focus on the academics. I would also give myself a warning of the difference. The difference between high school and college are like comparing black and white. In high school excuses are accepted and deadlines have exceptions. In college if you do not complete tasks within the deadlines no excuses are accepted and you are given zeros. Another differenece, if college classes are missed you fall behind others are it is very hard to catch back up. Altogether I would warn myself of the many differeneces of school levels.

    Wifi was everywhere, you can communicate with your teachers alot more and that you can work on campus. i thought that was pretty amazing. I'm still learning, I dont know everything about this school yet, I just found out yesterday what the rec center is. I thought it was more of a gym for classes, not just for working out.

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

    The most frustrating thing about attending Pellissippi State Community College is that when you are taking a specific, excedingly hard class, the best you can do is to try your best. Some classes are easier than others, but one class may be more challenging than the others. You may have to try harder, but if that strategy doesn't work out, you may need to just do the best you can and accept that limitation. When I am taking a class that is excedingly challenging for me , I set my minimum goal at a C, but if possible, an B.

  14. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

    I mean... I'm not even sure we have a stereotype. We do get a lot of farm boys from out in the deep woods, but I don't think that's perpetuated as who we are as a school. It's a fairly large school, to be honest. I think the stereotype--as is typical of all community colleges--is that we are somehow less intelligent/capable than those who attend the local private liberal arts college. Absolutely untrue.

  18. What are your classes like?

    Note. Intensive. I'm currently taking Social Problems and Survey of World Religions. The former class writes only two boards worth of notes and implies a great deal to be learned from reading retention. The latter dumps so much information on you only to have the tests be mostly big ideas and vocabulary. It's a strange world.

    Well, so far I've seen a guy come in looking like a farmhand who went through a wood chipper, a guy who went from his work uniform to a full suit and tie, a girl who has become more progressive orange with spray tans each day she comes to class, and the general messy but trying to be casual-professional student.
