Reynolds Community College

This is the best higher learning Institution in all of Richmond. I can only afford J. Sarg but it is helping me advance in my career!

If you're considering going to/back to school, give Reynolds a try. The staff here really cares about your success.

I enjoyed almost every aspect of my experience at this school. From the professor to the student interactions. However, the Dean of Administration at the Parham Road Campus single handedly made me choose a different college after only two encounters.nFirst, I went to him and told him that one of the classes I was not a lecture(which is how I learn) and that I would need to change it to a lecture. He responded by saying, 'that would crate too much work for us so you can just retake it if you don't pass it this time'.nThe second time we spoke, I informed him that I had double booked a class with two different teachers and after speaking with the teachers, and the Administrations Office found that I had not yet been dropped form the class. Also, I was informed that all the Dean of Administration needed to do was to make a phone call to the 'drop class' dept. and I would be able to continue taking the course. When I shared this information with him he would not make a simple phone call. He told me that I needed to go back to the two teachers and have them e-mail him saying that I did all my homework thus far, give him copies of the homework, and attendance to prove I was at one of the classes. After he received these, I would have to come to his office and fill out paperwork of what I was doing. Lastly, he told me that he was going on vacation starting at 4pm that day and if I didn't get this all to him by then it would be 'to late' for him to do anything by the time he returned.nI then told him, 'for someone who doesn't want to do extra work you're making me jump through hoops when all you have to do is make a phone call'. To which he just smiled. I then left for fear I would lose my professionalism.

This school can be better on so many levels in comparison to other Reynolds campuses and to other community colleges in the state. I feel horrible writing this, as this is a place where I learn, but the truth needed to be shared before others find the faults of this school as I did. Firstly, the kitchen doesn't clean as much as they say (especially the deep fryer). Two, the conditions of some of the campus's features are either are in a deteriorating states, or sometimes they don't work at all. Lastly, about 45% of the staff are helpful and are worth being taught by. So I hope this is helpful for you readers.

I love Reynolds community college, it's like my second house because of the library. Instructors are the best, they want to make sure you get it right, so they give you plenty of time. I tried three different private universities and the experience I have is awful, they don't even tell you about the program they have instead they will rush you to apply for financial aid, that is when I decided to visit Reynolds and I am so glad I did, I am gonna graduate in 2017, I know I am gonna miss the library and the instructors.
