Southwest Tennessee Community College - Union Avenue Campus

This place is horrible. I was trying to take summer classes and called for two weeks. They claimed they never received my transcript which was automatically sent out from my current school (MTSU) as soon as grades were posted so I know they are just being lazy. I checked with my school and they said it was sent out and received.....plus anyone you talk to on the phone barely wants to talk to you and half answer any questions you have. I’ve NEVER heard great reviews about them but I still gave them a try. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone, ever. They should’ve been closed years ago.

Bad experiences happened a few yeara ago but I'm still mad about it. The administrations offices are staffed by low class, ghetto Blacks. Always losing paperwork, saying you're approved for something then switch gears six months later to a status which is the complete opposite. The staff here are incompetent and should have their employment at Southwest Tennessee Community College terminated. It looks like they're having reviews removed. These people lack integrity and grit. SAD!

This college is great for students but staff,certain staff members, makes it a horrible uneducated exjperience for students. Professor Bobbie Shaw who teaches Psychology and for my daughter during this fall semester at 6:20 a. M. To 7:20 a. M. was very sneaky, dismissive, arrogant, rude, judgemental, had discrimination, played favortisimn and extremely ironic and widely cruel. My daughter made it clear to her to not speak to her in any rude manner, demean her but intelligently my daughter knew that she wouldn't stop because she's just to arrogant. She did not like to let my daughter to ask questions, gave her terrible looks, was always ignoring when she would raise her hand and called on another student. Shaw pointed in my daughter's face when she stood up to her almost touching her jaw, which I would have beaten her ass if so and dismissed her own class for her if she did and she would've had a warrant for her arrest a police report filed. It's sad to see your own child come home asking what happened she done to constantly have a professor who isn't deserve of the status to constantly mistreat your child other students and in result take her own personal insecurities out on on my child's grade. My child an A and B student the least she she should have given her is a C. Only 3 people would make good grades on her exams because one would cheat and the other developed their own way of study. Which was confusing to me because I have seen the exams, she makes them completely harder than usual and always mentions being scholarly when she in no way isn't. She plagiarized book materials and told students would be on the test but changed the information in ways that was hard to compare to the book. She puts in her syllabus noplagirism and she clearly needs rewrite it. Shaw didn't accept my child's work during the first week of class because the assignment was not placed on her desk, which location of work wasn't placed within the syllabus. Many students would ask about thier grades when she walked through the door was overly excited answer them but as soon as my daughter Shamuriel Bush would ask she would cut her short in a loud tone and say with her hands up in the air I'm not answer any questions about the grades only see me after class. She has given students extra points to out of thin air to aggravate my daughter and make her feel small as well as to persuade the other students to hushup about ways she treated everyone and what they witnessed. My daughter had enough and decided to report knowing that Professor Bobbie Shaw would take her grade down and mistreat her still but she wanted to start a change and stand up to a big old deranged bully. She is a bully, but she licked the right one to show her real inner core. She gave my daughter a 66 wrote aD beside it and circle it. In my dictionary that's an F. She reported Shaw to Mr. Lipped the chairman over the Psychology Dept. My daughter complete here 10 events typed with 2 dates of events and theory. My daughter was the only one to have that completed and everything was accurately done she stated and she didn't seem proud to give props but she did in a sneaky ways cause all eyes were on her and also her project was completed. Shaw gave her an 80 as final project grade because she didn't mention names and didn't double space. My daughter was smart to tell me she's gonna check-in Paws to see if she did her job as a teacher and put in the grade accurately. Shaw changed the grade y'all to 70 without calling or emailing my daughter as to why. So my daughter emailed her over that following weekend 2 times before the last week of Friday and of course no response. She's made smart remarks to my daughter during class and tried to blend it with the lesson but everyone started to get sick of her bullying. Continuously every year this brand get multiple complaints from students, parents,coligues and students from different countries. She has the lowest worst rates out of the whole TN state and southwest TN community College. DO NOT REGISTER FOR BOBBIE SHAW

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. The employees at Southwest are completely incapable of getting their jobs done. I have been trying to enroll since June and because of this incompetent school not doing what they are supposed to do I wont be able to attend this or any school this semester. They still haven't evaluated a transcript I sent in 2 months ago and I am constantly being told to turn in documents in turned in already! Serious lack of professionalism and management. Do yourself a favor and just go to Northwest. I wish I would have!
