Tacoma Community College started out at its present campus in Tacoma, Washington in 1965. The campus complex covers nearly all the ground between 12th & 19th S and Mildred and Pearl Streets on the west and East respectively. Though the highway wasn't designed when the campus was begun, it is now conveniently located about 1.5 miles west of State Route 16.
There are approximately 15,000 students who attend classes there in a normal year. They are normally hosting about 300 international students in that group. The classes are designed to get the students into their desired fields (nearly 86% achieve that) or set up well to transfer to a four year college to complete their studies.
Recently, Tacoma Community College has added a second campus, across the Narrows Bridge in Gig Harbor. They also recently added new classroom and laboratory spaces.
The hill it sits on has a great view of Mount Rainier.
