    TCC is worth the tuition. It is not too expensive and if you are undecided with career choices, it is a great place to start. I would highly recommend Tidewater Community College to seniors in high school or individuals that are interested in going back to school.

    I love this school. I was a bit disappointed when all of my friends were going off to big universities while I choose to go to a community college but I'm glad I did!

    The low cost based off the fact that it is a community college is very convenient. As long as you do your research and find the very best professors, I do believe it is well worth the price.

    The administration is terrible! They kept losing my information and dropping my classes! They blamed it on a glitch in the system. I also didn't find out what I owed last semester until the day off and when I complained the financial aid office was very rude. They also took away a non-need based scholarship because my dad makes too much even though I am paying out of pocket without the aid of my parents or student loans.
