Am learning a lot
The classes here are very small, and one can easily get help from an instructor. Most instructors stay on topic and are very good teachers.
Am enjoying being here
Walters State is the perfect school for people who might be shy or just nervous in big crowds. I think it is the perfect transitional school from high school to a large university. It gets you ready for college while also being on a very small scale and not being overwhelming.
Bang for the buck
Tuition is not going to be a fun thing wherever you go; however, Walters State offers many scholarships, especially having graduated from a high school in Sevier County. Tuition is not ridiculous and you're still getting a good education.

Dorm Life

All of my teachers are extremely helpful. Because of the small class sizes, the instructors are always able to answer any question.
Am enjoying being here
Since WS is a community college, you have the perfect balance between students you've known all throughout your school years and people who you get to know. Having several people that you already know in your classes makes the class experience more relaxed.
Bang for the buck
I had issues with Financial Aid and my Hope scholarship, but once the counselors were able to straighten things out Walters State seems worth the money.
