Tallahassee Community College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Tallahassee Community College (TCC) is a community college in Tallahassee, Florida that feeds into Florida State University and Florida A&M University. It mainly serves the Florida counties of Leon, in which it is located, Gadsden, and Wakulla. The college was founded in 1966.

Most of TCC's enrollment take part in its Associate in Arts transfer program, and TCC is listed as one the nation's top producers of A.A. graduates at 22nd. The college is often used as a stepping stone to transfer to institutions within the State University System of Florida.

Student life

TCC annually hosts the Big Bend Brain Bowl academic tournament sponsored by the Tallahassee Democrat. Students also participate in Forensics(Debate), Model UN, the Honors Program, Phi Theta Kappa. A student newspaper, the Talon, is published at least 5 times a semester by the students of a journalism class, and a literary magazine, The Eyrie, is published yearly.

Other student opportunities include "TheatreTCC", the Capital Band of Tallahassee Community College, the TCC Jazz Band, and the Tallahassee Civic Chorale. A Student Government Association is open for student involvement, and the Office of Student Volunteerism encourages students to engage in community service

Athletics

TCC's Athletic teams are nicknamed the Eagles and participate in softball, baseball, women's basketball, and men's basketball.

The softball program, having won three conference championships, won a state and national title in 1994. The baseball team finished 2004 with the winning of its fourth conference title. The men's basketball has won three conference titles, and the women's has one. Both basketball teams have each finished third in the NJCAA Tournament within the past eight years.

Currently Mike McLeod is the Baseball coach and is in his 17 season at the helm. McLeod has guided the Eagles to three outright Panhandle Conference Championships, winning the title in 1995, 1999, and 2004, while being named Co-Champions in 2002. His teams have made a total of six trips to the Florida Community College Activities Association Tournament.

Question: Large state university to community college?

I just moved to Tallahassee to attend FSU, but now that I'm here I think I made the wrong choice. I'm thinking I could just with drawl from the university and go to a community college in the fall and then enroll in a third tier school only an hour away from home in the spring. I could always transfer into another large university after I get my AA. I just feel like a number and I hate it. Should I just stay here or should I go home?

Colleges in Ohio are obligated by law to transfer it, but anywhere in the US can transfer it (they just aren't required to). If they have your college transcript, you can ask them what will transfer.
