Tidewater Community College - Chesapeake Campus

"Best tcc college I have been to professors are amazing had two professors personally reach out to me while I was out sick. Another reached out to me when my grandfather passed, amazing interior design program."

"First time at the campus, walked in Ms.Denise greeted us so warm and friendly, gave us a tour and truly made us feel at home. Went over to the next building Momma Pinky greeted us smelled so good and clean inside. All the staff was amazing. Had the worse experience at the VB campus and if today wasn't the last day to finalize classes we would have found another community College. Luckily we came here to Chesapeake campus and it was night and day! I feel much more comfortable with my daughter coming out of high school to this campus. Peace of mind is priceless. The vibes at VB campus are not it! The vibes at Chesapeake chefs kiss!!!!!"

"I am in my last semester (of seven [two summers including]) at TCC and really enjoy coming to this campus. As a Computer Science major, TCC has a surprisingly good program, especially at this campus. I am not a fan of city schools, more of a rural person and driving here for class was so peaceful compared to Norfolk's busy streets. It is a really beautiful campus, but beware of the geese, they tend to be quite aggressive. Every teacher that I had/have are amazing, and willing to work with me, if I ever struggled with any homework problems. I live on the opposite side of the Bridge Tunnel, so being willing to drive 45+ minutes on any given day to class, shows how much I enjoy this campus. Definitely use Rate My Professor as a guideline when choosing teachers, as some (word of mouth, not that I have personally witnessed) tend to teach differently. If you treat your teachers with respect, and like a friend, instead of a person who gives you stuff to do for no reason, you will do just fine in attending this college-campus. I am definitely going to miss TCC, especially this campus, as I move on to my four-year university. But am blessed/thankful to have had an opportunity in attending such a beautiful place. FYI: TCC has a Math Honors Society known as Mu Alpha Theta, I would recommend asking Professor Taylor (sponsor for Chesapeake) if interested in joining. Also do not forget to join Phi Theta Kappa. They do incredible outreaches within the community and offer benefits with GEICO as well as transfer scholarships to universities within the USA."

"I have been to TCC multiple times trying to get into a health profession program that is not offered close to home. Since this facility is a community college, I was hoping they would except me since I do live just past the border in NC. They have not even been interested in getting my transcripts, they immediately tell me that I have no chance of getting into there school. They go by a point system to get into a program and VA residents come first. Well that's fine but I have taken classes and worked hard and plan to work even harder and it's not right that I cannot even get the chance to be compared on this point system of there's. I could have everything I need to get into the program but they don't even bother to give me a shot."

"I was a struggling student in high school, passed by the skin of my teeth. I also have anxiety in the classroom and have trouble asking for help because of some of my teachers making me feel like asking questions and having trouble was holding everyone back, but most of the Professors encourage asking questions and are really involved with their students. The counselors really want to help you as well. It's easy to talk to all of the staff, even the security. I've been greeted by security some mornings. It's overall a really friendly environment. I believe I'll come out of here with a 3.5 or higher when I graduate, and that really says something for me."
