    The school has a lot of people who want to see you succed. They have a lot of activites that you would expect to see at a four year school. They don't have a good grasp on helping students finds their passion.

    Make sure to plan for what you want. Stay ahead of registration and buying bools because of the large amount of students its gets hectic.

    Thomas Nelson is a great place for people who are either returning to college or just starting, because it gives you a feel for how a 4-year institution will be. Thomas Nelson has many pluses and minuses but I think that the overall positive impact that it has on our community is far outweighs any negatives.
    Tips for prospective students

    1. Be sure to have your classes settled in the first month of registration
    2. Don't be afraid to ask questions to the professors, they are all willing to answer any questions you have.
    3. Be willing to share your story and struggles with others, sharing will help broaden your range of possibilities for the future.
    Dorm Life

    Thomas Nelson does not have dorms. But the location of the campuses is very convenient for anyone living on the peninsula.
    Food and Dining

    Because TNCC is a community college, there is not much to expect out of the food. The addition of the new Subway is pretty awesome though.
    What to do for fun

    Thomas Nelson is a very laid back community, and many of us enjoy playing frisbee on the lawn, or soccer in the field, or other misc. outside activities. Occasionally there are activities for the students as a whole to participate in.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who have never gone to college before, or who are returning to further their education.

    Am learning a lot

    I actually learned a lot from going here. At first I really did not think I would because it was a community college. They have such amazing teachers and they really want you to excel in your schooling. I would highly recommend this school to anyone and plus you can save so much money.

    Am learning a lot

    I have learned so much information so far and especially in my English class I have been reviewing and relearning information I forgot long ago.
    Am enjoying being here

    It is a very nice campus but I would love to transfer to another four year college.
    Bang for the buck

    It is much cheaper than any four year college so I know in the future my school debt will be a lot less.
    Tips for prospective students

    Going to a community college may not be your first choice, trust me it wasn't and still isn't my first choice, but I know it will help me down the road when I have to repay my loans.
    Great for these types of students

    Community colleges are great for adults going back to school, people with children or who are married, military people, or people who want to save money or live at home.
