    Am learning a lot

    I have enjoyed many of my classes. I am sure, however, that neither my Biology 101, nor my math, will stick with me.
    Am enjoying being here

    Everyone is so nice and welcoming. I enjoy attending this college.
    Bang for the buck

    John Tyler is a community college, so it costs less than most.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who are low on money or don't know what they want to do should go here. For someone who is paying their way, like me, community college price doesn't hit the bank too hard. For those who aren't sure what they want to do, this is the time to decide.

    Am learning a lot

    I am in the Visual Communications program and I absolutely love it! The instructors challenge you to do your best, and work with you at your own pace so you can understand the assignment, even if you need tutoring. I'm working on assignments I've never done before, like 3D sculptures and video commercials.
    Am enjoying being here

    Overall I am enjoying attending John Tyler. They've been expanding their campuses and the types of classes they offer. It's an exciting time to be here. The teachers and administrators support you and are available for questions and conferences when you need help with homework or communicating with classmates or your instructor.
    Bang for the buck

    Even though most colleges have raised their tuition rates, John Tyler has stayed competitive with local community colleges by being under the tuition rate of other schools. You get more bang for your buck because of a quality education from professors that often also teach at a local 4 year college, VCU, and because of the lower tuition rates and scholarship opportunities.
    Tips for prospective students

    My suggestion is to explore community colleges before four year schools. It's less expensive and gives you a great opportunity to bring up grades, transition into college life and the real world, exploring what career fields interest you without paying an arm and a leg if you decide to change majors.
    Great for these types of students

    John Tyler currently has two campuses, one in Chester and one in Midlothian. They both offer a full range of classes and disciplines. John Tyler is a great school for Liberal Arts and Sciences as well as vocational training. They offer everything from African drum lessons to fashion design to hands-on mechanics classes to nursing degrees to real estate. I love the variety and the people are very nice and friendly. I highly recommend checking out John Tyler.

    Academic Rigor

    The classes aren't that hard if you pay attention and stay focused. Also write down important dates so they don't sneak up on you.

    All the school has is a vending machine, but there are many restaurants that aren't to far that you could go to.

    There are many clubs that you could join and many activities that you could volunteer for.
    Campus Safety
