I think that River Parish Community college is definitely a great place to be. I was very skeptical at first of joining a community college but they have made it easier for me. The teachers are always available to be able to answer questions. They make being at the school a very comfortable place to be at

Overall, River Parishes Community College is a great junior college with great instructors. However, the food on the campus results to vending machines that are overpriced items. Every once in a while a local restaurant would come out to cater to the students, but again overpriced for a college student.

Johnathan

River Parish is a small school, and that is the best part. It's a school for those who wish to study and learn in a easy environment that provides enough essentials for anyone to participate. They may not have everything, they'll always be happy to provide you with what they have.

River Parishes Community college has been a five-star experience for me. RPCC is the second school I attended, after being absent from school for over fifteen and I feel at home here. Classes are the perfect size so that you do not feel like a number. The teacher goes over and beyond, to assure you understand one concept, before moving on the next. And, if a student still does not understand a topic, the college offers free tutoring several times a year on certain subjects. My theatre class was very interesting; visiting a real play was the highlight of my semester. The choragraphy at Jacob and his Fabulous Colored Dream Coat is similar to what I have seen on Broadway. I really enjoyed the theatre class and the in-class lecture at RPCC. Similarly, the online classes are fun as well. The teacher's created a very real learning experience in my online classes which was new to me. Responding to class-mates opinions on certain topics and receiving feedback on mine was a learning experience in itself. My online classes allowed me to really grow as a student and I don't think this would have taken place in a classroom setting as well. For now, I am unable to pick a classroom over online classes because both have been wonderful here at RPCC. Having a teacher, who actually produced on Broadway, is a real treat too. Learning at River Parishes Community College is fun. Students can really tell the professors want them to succeed an that makes me as well as my classmates feel good about learning. I look forward to finishing my associates at River Parishes Community College on the Fall of 2021 and transferring to finish my bachelor's while maintaining a 3.0-grade point average or higher.
