Columbus state is a great community college with amazing professors who are passionate, knowledgeable and willing to help in any way possible to help students succeed.

I started taking Columbus State classes while I was still in high school, but I decided to go back and take classes at the Columbus campus in 2021. I personally like the smaller class sizes as it makes me feel more connected with my classmates and professors. I can't think of anything I would want to change about Columbus State.
