This is a wonderful college! The teachers are great at what they do and they really take the time to help students be successful. The campus is also very neat.

This is a great college to choose, even if you are wanting to go to a four-year college. You can always go to a community college first and transfer later. Surry Community College has an awesome transfer program. It will save bunches of money!

Some of the courses are tough but the teachers at Surry make learning fun and easy. If you are looking for a challenge this college is also a great choice.

There are no dorms available so I gave this one star.

The food at Surry is spectacular! Great deals and great meals :)

There are numerous sports you can do at Surry. There is a really big gym with lots of workout and weight rooms. There is also a tennis court, track and baseball field.

Very worth the money you invest here.

Lots of various clubs and activities to do.

The campus security makes sure that everyone is safe at all times. There is also cameras at every parking lot and building.

Surry Community College is the perfect institute to further my education. All of the staff is very willing to help stay after or come before class and help so that you understand everything perfectly. This college is a 10 out of 10 on my scale and i would rather go here than anywhere else!

One of the biggest transitions from High School to college is the amount of homework and the difficulty of the test. Make sure that you start studying from day one and do not stop til the last day of the semester.

The level of academic Rigor was very difficult when I first started classes because I didn't know where to get help or how to. It was a very big transition from High School but I've been doing better in college than I ever was in High School.

There are actually not dorms offered at Surry Community College but that gives you the opportunity to live at home or you are able to rent apartments or small houses for cheap right down the road from the college.

I have visited many colleges when I was trying to make my decision and out of all the meals I've ate, Surry Community has to have the best food and they have plenty of places to sit inside and outside.

Surry Community has many after school activities to do for fun such as; Clubs, Sports, Intramural Sports and social gatherings

This college is very inexpensive compared to all of the four year colleges and even to most other community colleges.

This college is great for students who do not want to leave home quite yet or don't have the money to. It's perfect for those who want a great education for a lot less money.

There is a club here for every major, so no matter what you're there to study you will be able to join a very exciting and involved club.

The campus is very safe and I have never saw a wreck, fight or anything of that matter occur. They have police officers on duty across the campus at all times.

SCC is an excellent school! All the teachers are very passionate about teaching, very tough, and encourage you to visit them with questions about the course. The campus is beautiful.

1. Get to school early. Parking is horrible at SCC and if you don't give yourself enough time to find a parking spot then you will be late.
2. Sign up for classes ASAP! As with all schools right now budget cuts lead to class cuts. If you don't sign up the second you get the chance more than likely you're not going to get the classes you need.
3. If you get Financial Aid, you're good to go. SCC gives plenty Financial Aid and often times you receive a refund check.

SCC teachers are very passionate about teaching but, they are hard! They are always more than willing to help with anything you need. I have heard horror stories about how strict some of the teachers are but, when you leave that class (or if you leave) you know stuff. Many of the transfer students at SCC who go off to universities say that their professors approach them and tell them that students who come from SCC are often more organized, show better form with problems, and say that all around they are better prepared.

SCC has no on campus housing.

The Knights Grill is amazing! They can make anything you want! The prices can be a little on the higher side but the food is great! The have chicken tenders, fries, BBQ, corn dogs, mac and cheese, and much much more!

SCC isn't what you would call a college town. There are no clubs, bars, big restaurants, or anything like that. The most excitement you might have is at a volleyball game or baseball game.

Although tuition keeps rising everywhere, for the degree, classes, etc it's a great school! I definitely got all my moneys worth and more!

Nothing unusual goes on at SCC. Pretty basic.

If you are a Science or math major SCC is the perfect school for you! SCC is known mostly for their science and math department. All the teachers are very well educated in their area and do a great job of teaching the material. Most of the students that come out of SCC go on to be engineers, math teachers, physicists, nurses, etc.

Activity at SCC include Volleyball, Softball, Baseball, golf, and even Corn hole. SCC also has many clubs that other major universities have.

Surry has no Greek Life.

SCC is a very safe campus and located in a safe town. SCC is located in a very small town called Dobson, NC. Not much goes on around their so you really don't have anything to worry about. And the campus security is constantly driving around the campus.

Surry Community College has wonderful business administration and accounting departments and excellent instructors in their faculty. They offer online classes for both degree programs. The distance education instructors are dedicated professionals who are devoted to student success.

Find your advisor early and stay in contact throughout your enrollment. You will benefit from their advice and guidance. Advisors are assigned in each field of study.

The business administration and accounting curriculums are rigorous, even the online classes.

this is a two-year community college that does not have dorms

I am a non-traditional adult learner enrolled in online/distance education programs. However, the online/distance education programs should not be taken lightly. These are college level classes with excellent, experienced instructors. My classes thus far have served me well, and I look forward to completing degree programs in both business administration and accounting.

Adult, non-traditional students who wish to transfer to four-year undergraduate programs. SCC partners with many of our leading four-year institutions in North Carolina and credits are easily transferable.

My chosen degree is Criminal Justice Technology and I have to say that my instructor is one of the best that I have ever had. She makes the classes interesting and entertaining while making sure we are able to retain the information needed.

Since I live near the college I love that I don't have to drive far to get there. The campus is fairly easy to navigate and the classes are easy to locate. The campus is perfect for those who want to be in a small class and have one-on-one time with the instructor without the fear of falling behind.

Tuition and fees are a fair price for the courses being received. While the books are not the best price they are far cheaper than you would find at a 4-year college.

The only tip I have for any students coming to Surry Community is to search a few other places for your books. You can find exactly what you need at other bookstores and even on eBay occasionally.

Surry Community is great for students who are not sure what degree they are going for and for those who have decided, but do not wish to being in a 4-year school.
