I never thought I'd be at this level of education at this point in my life. It's the age when most people are thinking about their 401Ks and retirement, but I know that this Welding Program will set me up for success.

The instructors were amazing. During my time at Surry, I had two instructors, which helped develop a closer connection, as opposed to a bigger school. I still keep in touch with them, years after graduating from Surry.

Why spend tons of money at a university especially if you don't know what you are wanting to do? You can explore educational options at Surry Community College. I always recommend Surry Community College. I graduated with my B.S. degree with no debt. I was able to live at home while I attended Surry, which really helped me save money.
