Robertson County College Near Completion - Marcus Washington, News Channel 5

Getting a college education has been out of reach for many people in Robertson County for years, but now Volunteer State Community College is helping to change that. "It was a tough decision," said first year Vol State Student Paul Farmer. "I'm married, have children and I have wanted to further my education for quite a few years now." The 42-year-old husband and father has a 45 minute commute from Greenbrier to school, which is taking a toll on his family as gas prices get closer to $4 a gallon.
