    Great for these types of students

    Great if you could use a break and some easy college credit.

    I get school for free because I do community service. If I had to pay I would be very disappointed in the quality of education. For some classes i don't even buy books because I know I wont use them.
    Am enjoying being here

    I attend the Southeast Campus and thoroughly enjoy it. It is clean and they have a lot of cool activities. I haven't had any bad experiences while going here.
    Am learning a lot

    I was an honors student in high school who came to TCC for the Tulsa Achieves community service program. I don't feel challenged at all but I am the kind of student who likes writing papers and doing homework. If your looking for easy college credit I would go here.

    Since the cost of attendance is much less than a tradition four-year college, there is no real issue here. Many of the classes are fully transferable, so its possible to get an associates degree at less than half the cost, then go to a college offering higher degrees knowing that the courses taken previously were sufficient.
    What to do for fun

    There are sometimes events in the Y, but nothing very fun. It is interesting watching the ducks though.
    Food and Dining

    There is only one restaurant. It is expensive for what it is. There are tons of vending machines and many of them have credit/debit card readers.
    Dorm Life

    There are no on-campus living options.
    Academic Rigor

    Much of the course material is fairly easy. The only thing that is important is turning assignments in on time and showing up to class to take notes. Studying is also important for tests and quizzes, but it is not too time consuming.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure to attend class regularly because many of the instructors give out class participation grades that reflect attendance; not all instructors will let you make up work that was done in-class, so be weary. Make sure you check online to see what your instructor has posted. Most of the professors use the BlackBoard system to communicate with students and post important announcements, such as class cancellations and temporary or permanent room changes. This also includes using your TCC email frequently because that is the instructors' other form of communication. Be sure to keep on top of when financial aid deadlines are. Turn in any documents that are requested through the financial aid office before it gets too close to the beginning of the semester. Your enrollment in classes can be dropped if you do not turn them in on time. Be sure to enroll in classes early as possible to guarantee the most course options and times.
    In three sentences

    Qualifying for admission is simple because there are no GPA requirements and ACT score is not required (a placement test can be taken instead). The cost of attendance is much less than a four-year university and they offer courses that are transferable to other colleges. There are helpful academic labs that provide assistance to students struggling on certain topics.

    This college is great for anyone in my book; as long as the tend to work hard and put in the effort.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure to read your syllabus every night because your homework is on there.

    The prices are really cheap compared to other campus I have looked at; so if you don't have much money try TCC first.
    Am enjoying being here

    The activities here at the West Campus are fun. I have been staying in school longer to have some fun after classes and to do some weight lifting.
    Am learning a lot

    I am learning a lot more here at TCC then i did in High School. This college is giving me some challenges and I'm meeting them head on. That's the only way to learn to have a nice challenge and do your best.

    Coming out of high school, I received a scholarship that covered all of my tuition, which was amazing and I feel that I received a great education.
    Did enjoy being here

    Tulsa Community College campuses are clean and convenient. There are several different campuses that offer day and night classes that fit around student's schedules. I enjoyed the institution.
    Did learn a lot

    Tulsa Community College professors are very thorough and professional. They helped to make sure that their students understood the coursework and being a community college, we were allowed more one-on-one onteraction with the professors. I feel very confident that I am knowledgeable and that I will be able to succeed at an institution.

    Tips for prospective students

    Enrolling early for classes assures you would have the choice of picking your professor... A lot of classes fill up veeeery quick!
    Bang for the buck

    That is a greeattt place to take your general education classes and pay much less than when taking them at big 4 year universities... It is worth to go there first, and then transfer to finish your degree somewhere else... Great for people in the Tulsa Achieves program, cause they do not pay the tuition!
    Did enjoy being here

    I think that due to the fact that the school is soo big there is no school spirit, like in different junior colleges... Adding college sports would definietly increase the student's interest in connecting more with the school...
    Did learn a lot

    Just like every other school, how much you learn in each class depends on the professor. I had the best professors and some that were not too good... Overally it is a great place where you can take your basic classes, and if you enroll early enough (since there is more and more students each semester) also recieve great teachers!

    Great for these types of students

    Great for parents, adults with full time jobs, young students, or really anyone!
    Tips for prospective students

    Wait til you go to class to buy your books!!! Many times you do not need them. If your professor says that you will constantly be doing work out of your book then it would be wise to invest in that book, but if you will only be studying and doing a few assignments don't waste your money. I am pretty sure that all the books are available in the school library to use. You cannot check them out, but you cn study and use them in the library. Also, some books will come with more than one book (costing extra) your professor may say the extra book is not needed. In this case, you can buy a used book, rent or purchase a book online. I made As and Bs my 1st semester in college and I didn't purchase any of my books.
    Bang for the buck

    I am struggling to pay for the classes because I do not qualify for FASFA and I am paying for class on my own. TCC is doing little to help me out even though I am making great grades.
    Am enjoying being here

    I LOVE the South East Campus! It is large, clean, and has the college atmosphere with super friendly people! I also attend West and Glenpool. West is to much like a high school for my taste. I don't enjoy walking into class and hearing people talk about someone's bad taste in clothes or if they went to the party last weekend. Honestly, I am in college to grow and mature, not spend my time around immature students that choose to party and make bad decisions. The Glenpool campus is a wonderful campus! It is very small and friendly campus! The classes are normally less than fifteen students and everyone is very kind. Glenpool is great if you feel uncomfortable about a lot of people and just want to feel comfortable!
    Am learning a lot

    Honestly, most of the information I am currently going over is all review to me. That is not to say that there are not difficult classes. I am just in classes that are review from high school (history, math, biology) It is a great school if you are worried about getting back in the groove. The professors are generally very willing to work with you if you are struggling.

    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure to get involved with your campus. There are so many things that you can do even simply volunteer with something that TCC suggests. There are many excellent classes that I was a part of and my all time favorite was a tie between New Testament at Metro Campus or Intro to Psych at West Campus.
    Bang for the buck

    There are many things that you can get involved in for FREE at most campuses. Baptist Collegiate Ministry offers a free lunch Wednesday's at Noon at West Campus and allows you to be involved in so many activities that they offer for the basic 'I am bored and need new friends' college student. Also, you get a free gym membership, many contests to enter with the Student Activities, and so much more!
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy being connected to the West Campus. The other campuses are a lot larger so the small tight nit group at West is valuable for me. It brings a comfort when you see fellow classmates or instructors walking down the hallway asking how are you doing.
    Am learning a lot

    I left high school and went straight to TCC on the Tulsa Achieves scholarship. This scholarship allowed me to not only go to school tuition free, but also allowed me and my family to have a stress free 5 semesters without having to worry about finances. There have been wonderful professors in my classes and I have learned more than I could ever ask at TCC.

    Great for these types of students

    High school dual enrolled. First and second year college. Students requiring one basic class because they have changed their major at another university. Non traditional students. Non degree seeking students and undecided degree seeking.
    Tips for prospective students

    Talk to your advisors and professors, they are there to help you. You can take classes at any of the campuses, don't let the campus location stop you from attending a class you want. That being said, use a 'home' campus: one campus you will take all of your financial aid questions to, bookstore (except online classes must use the Northeast campus bookstore) and facilities. It will make the campus easier to navigate and you will get to know the staff, which always makes for an enjoyable way to resolve issues should they arise.
    Bang for the buck

    Intending to transfer to another school I was suprised to find both my 4 year choice and this 2 year college have similar costs for classes. There are more options here than where I hope to graduate from as well as this is significantly closer, which, with todays gas prices equates to cheaper.
    Am enjoying being here

    Each campus has various campus activities which everyone is always encouraged to participate. Events are held regularly and fun if you are able to attend; they are geared more towards daytime attendees rather than evening, but not exclusively.
    Am learning a lot

    As a non traditional student, I can't relate this to high school. It was too many years ago to compare. The professors are extremely knowledgeable in their subject and available for consult if you need it. It is fantastic preparation for a transfer as well as an in-house associates degree.

    Great for ALL students but especially for people who prefer smaller crowds and a small-town community feel. As an older adult student, I especially believe wholeheartedly that working adults or those who are first time college students and may be a bit apprehensive will benefit from the smaller campus size.
    Tips for prospective students

    Feel free to walk around the campus, check out the library, computer labs and book store..browse the aid and job postings available..get a good feel for the class layout. Apply early for loans and grants and touch base with an academic advisor.
    Bang for the buck

    I feel that the education one receives at TCC will definitely be worth the money. Tuition is very reasonable and the financial aid department is friendly and helpful.
    Will enjoy being here

    I have taken a few spins around the NE campus and I like the updated look, the space, landscaping and easy access. I am signed up for freshman orientation next month and hope to get a proper tour.
    Will learn a lot

    Being a community college I believe the stress level, competition and class size will be very manageable for a returning non-traditional adult student. This in turn will give an opportunity to focus on classes in a more relaxed atmosphere.

    If your determined about getting your basics and succeeding in school, then this is the college for you. Its very laid back and is a campus anybody from any background would enjoy.

I like the bookstore at the Northeast Campus better so far they have more stuff. Do not limit yourself to just one campus be willing to commute if you can for more class choices.

    Tips for prospective students

    I would suggest that anyone who enrolls at Tulsa Community College to be sure and start their Financial Aid Process and apply for admissions as far as three months in advance in order to have plenty of time to prepare for courses and having your classes secured by the Financial Aid department to avoid delays on enrollment etc.

    i really appreciate the time that the teachers offer to their students, even though there are so many. in a class of nearly fifty students, all of my professors remembered my name, which means a lot to me. all of my professors so far have been very thorough with their lectures and make sure to post notes online to refresh each session just in case if you forget your material.

    great education for a great price. if you live in tulsa county check out tulsa achieves. you great everything free except books. it's an awesome deal.

    tulsa is not a college town but there's a lot of fun things to do. cain's ballroom is a great venue and there's all sort of clubs. you just have to do a google search.
    Food and Dining

    the food is great and depends on which campus you go to. the southeast and metro locations has a bill & ruth's and the prices aren't too bad.
    Academic Rigor

    this really depends of the professor and the class you are taking. if you are wanting to be pushed then take honors classes. ratemyprofessor.com is a great resource, as well as current students. if you want easier classes then just ask current students.
    Tips for prospective students

    ask current students for professor recommendations. don't be afraid to take honors classes because they are small, the profs usually have their doctorates, and the classes are much more in-depth. get into the honors program, you can get 13,000 a year if you plan to transfer to university of tulsa.
    In three sentences

    it's a great school with tons of great people. the price is great for the education you will receive. there are people of all ages there so don't be afraid if you are getting up there, age wise.

    tcc always staffs a campus officer and if you need help to your car or changing a flat, the campus police are glad to help.
    Greek Life

    tcc offers a sorority but from my understanding it is very limited and not well known.
    Clubs and Activities

    i have only seen a few fliers around campus for any clubs or activities. over the two years i have spent at tcc i have never met a student involved in any club or activity.
    Great for these types of students

    tcc is great for those students that only need a couple classes to go on to a four year college.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    last semester they held a small independent films festival for adults that was a nice change of pace.
    Bang for the buck

    i have not found a college that offers classes for as cheap as tcc but i have also had terrible counseling and the classes are too large to expect any one on one learning. also, the staff in the bursar's office and financial aid office are notorious for their crude acts at tcc.
    What to do for fun

    tcc offers very few recreational activities but they do have a pool and arcade room.
    Food and Dining

    the cafeteria is very basic and hours are not helpful for evening students; 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
    Dorm Life

    they do not offer dorm living but the metro campus is near some wonderful apartments in tulsa.
    Academic Rigor

    the majority of students at tcc that are also enrolled at a university have said the classes at tcc are simpler than those at their university.
    Tips for prospective students

    i would advise prospective students to speak with couselors of different institutions over the counselors at tcc. tcc's counselors have misinformed my husband and i multiple times.
    In three sentences

    tulsa community college is flexible for students that hold odd schedules. however, tcc is not as suitable for working students as other college's tend to be. many of tcc's online professors still expect each student to spend at least twenty hours a week on their class regardless of how many classes they are enrolled in.

    Students who are on a tight budget will not and can not find a better deal for the quality education they receive. It is also a great place for returning students who want to go back and finish their degrees or even pick up a few classes to help further their personal or professional education.

    Tulsa Community College is extremely affordable. And when it comes to the quality education you receive, one can hardly argue with the prices. The college offers great scholarship opportunities for nearby residing students that only make this college the more desirable.

    Dorm Life

    There are no on-campus dorms. There are, however, nearby apartments that are quite affordable for college students on a budget.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are small and personalized, so the relationship between teacher and student is potentially close. That being said, teachers are strict and fair in the most prestigious manner. Every class a student takes will absolutely reflect his or her performance.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not procrastinate while entering this college. It may seem easy at first but just because it is a community college does not mean it is a challenging educational institution. Form relationships with your classmates and your teachers, this friendly close-quarter college will provide you with every opportunity to make friends and further yourself.

    TCC is a great stepping stone for those who don't really know what they want to do with their lives.

    Food and Dining

    TCC has four separate campuses, and each one has one restaurant/cafeteria. Some of the food is restaurant-quality (for example, one campus has a Subway and another has a Bill & Ruth's) and there is a fairly large selection.

    Tips for prospective students

    Vet your instructors, make sure they are qualified and reasonable. Enroll early.
    In three sentences

    I rate both the education and helpfulness of the administrative staff as fair/average. Instructors are less than dynamic, they know the material, but know less about the value of the material in it's application to real life . Administrative staff are knowledgeable, but could improve quality of customer service, i.e. communication to better understand student questions and needs.

    Never once had a problem, if for any reason you have a complaint or anything else they are very compliant and if you feel unsafe walking out to your car they wont hesitate to accompany you.
    Greek Life

    I have no personal experience with Greek life but if you plan to transfer and be in a club or organization why not start now.
    Clubs and Activities

    Join them! Why not when they're all around you, you wont regret it.
    Great for these types of students

    Everyone, young or old. You see everyone from High School students to Moms, Dads, and Grandparents there and everyone gets along and jokes its great. Something you don't see at big universities.

    Love going to the gaming competitions in metro you see everyone from all different types coming out and setting up their stations to play. Love it!
    Bang for the buck

    Great price, as simple as that. It wont break your back or your bank.
    What to do for fun

    Join clubs, check out whats going on in your home location and hop on over there! Metro always has things going on in the student union.
    Food and Dining

    Cafe food has yet to let me down, I bounce between Metro and Northeast every other semester it never fails with me taking engineering courses and even though I love the food from Metro, Northeast shakes it up with a subway. lunch and dinner hours over? There's gas stations all around!
    Dorm Life

    There is none, but many campuses have the same hang out spots as the floors in dorms at other colleges so its nice to go and check those places out (especially at Metro).
    Academic Rigor

    Its not easy, but it not hard. As long as you have got your head in the game you're set. Oh and don't forget to check and write reviews at www.ratemyprofessor.com helps a lot and most people will tell you to check it before you get into the class.
    Tips for prospective students

    My tip for prospective students would be to not under estimate it, your other friends may be going to one of the other Oklahoma Universities or even out of state. TCC has many locations, get involved, make friends and it will be just the same experience.

    The motto TCC lets me be me I believe fits the bill. TCC is a great school to attend, may no be a university but its affordable and an a good place to start. TCC is the place for me!

    TCC is more affordable than most schools in the state of Oklahoma. Textbooks may be the most costly thing besides tuition, which is low compared to the surrounding nearby schools.

    Phi Theta Kapa (PTK) is on of the few greek options at TCC.
    Clubs and Activities

    Tulsa Community College offers a variety of activities and clubs. Also, gives students an option to start their own clubs and organizations.
    Great for these types of students

    Tulsa Community College is a great option for undecided students (who prefer not to waste money at a big university), parents of young children, adults seeking an associates degree or just picking up a couple classes for their employment, non-degree seeking students who want a certificate in a specialized program, or simply students who prefer to live at home while they earn a degree.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Since TCC is a community college there is not too many unusual traditions. One thing we do every year is a Halloween costume contest where all staff/faculty is encouraged to participate. Each department is urged to dress-up some with themes and others individually. A prize is given to the top dressed contestants.
    Bang for the buck

    I am very satisfied with the education that I received from Tulsa Community College, especially with the price of tuition. College can get so expensive, but I have been blessed to have financial aid and scholarship opportunities that have kept me out of debt thus far.
    What to do for fun

    All Tulsa Community College campuses have fitness centers that offer group fitness classes. The student activities office did a great job at offering activities such as: Wii Wednesday, BCM (Baptist Collegiate Ministry) luncheon, and holiday events like pumpkin carving and cookie decorating.
    Food and Dining

    Subway was our only dining option at TCC. Although Subway offers great food and prices variety is good also.
    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms at this community college.
    Academic Rigor

    This question is subjective. If you attend class because you are ready to learn and you are passionate about learning then academics are not rigorous. Academics, with the right attitude, are challenging-which is exactly how college should be.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not underestimate Tulsa Community College. Apply with an open mind and readiness to learn because you will be prepared for a four year college after attending school here.
    In three sentences

    I will receive my associates in applied science this spring (2013) at Tulsa Community College. I am very satisfied with the education that I have earned from this college, and I highly recommend it to my friends. They offer a quality education at low cost to all ages of people.

    It depends on the professor, but for the most part, classes are challenging.
    Tips for prospective students

    It can be easy to fall into the trap of 'I don't know what I'm going to do.' Then you'll end up, like me, spending 4 years moping around and not getting anywhere. Have a goal, even a small one, and keep pushing towards it.

    A very affordable school. If you pick the correct professors, you can learn a lot here. It is probably one of the best choices if you're looking to save money.

    The classes at TCC can be what you make it, depending on which ones you take. If you get involved in the honors program and take more challenging classes, the rewards can be beneficial. The professors at TCC are here to challenge you, but also here to help anytime during office hours.
    Tips for prospective students

    One of the most important tips for attending TCC is to take all of the opportunities available! Utilize the free tutors in the writing lab, as well as the math and science lab. The library is also a great place to go to do research and to get advice and guidance from the librarians. TCC has many student activities and organizations to choose from to fit your best interests. From Theatre club to Phi Theta Kappa, there's a spot just for you.

    TCC has provided me with the best tools to prepare me for a four-year college. The honors program has challenged me to become an independent learner and to gain knowledge outside of the classroom. TCC gave me the confidence to expand and grow at the university level.

    One of the things I've enjoyed most about Tulsa Community College is the use of the fitness center. For me, I like to take the free aerobic classes for fun! Of course, there are many other opportunities to participate in, considering it's a public college.
    Dorm Life

    Tulsa Community College is a commuter only school, so there are no dorms to rate.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you're pursuing Tulsa Community College as a potential student, be sure to always ask plenty of questions. One thing I've learned while being at TCC is that no one will just offer you information - you have to probe. Also, if you choose to take online courses (which I highly recommend) be prepared to put in the effort and work hard. Stay in touch with your professors and always keep the lines of communication open.
    In three sentences

    Tulsa Community College offers many great opportunities educationally for students living in the Tulsa area. TCC allows for students who are Tulsa residents to receive full tuition, leaving them to only pay for the cost of course materials. Tulsa Community College is incredibly profitable because it offers very flexible course hours, allowing for the students to complete school at their own pace.
