Great school!

ACC has opened so many doors for me. I was able to get involved in clubs and get scholarships. The professors are so caring and I just love this college so much. If you know what you are doing and ask for help, there should be no reason for you not to succeed.
Overall 4.8
Research the enrollment process beforehand. It is helpful to know background information. It was rough in the beginning because no one told me anything. I learned as I grew as a student. Overall, ACC was a passionate, professional, and a wonderful school to attend. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Hard work comes a long way.

Overall 1.5
Used to be friendly people with small class sizes. Now the staff is rude and in a rush. Less classes offered and larger class sizes. It has lost it "small college town" charm. They are just after your money now.

Horrible school.
Overall 1.7
This school has the absolute worst advising when it comes to degree planning. I have had holds almost every semester I go to register and no one knows what they're doing. If you have ever gone to different advisors, you'll notice that they will all say different things about what is required by the degree plan. You really get what you pay for here.

In all fairness, I am not rating the entire school but only the Emergency Medical Technology program. There are several things that do not add up but noone ever questions them so it stays the same. The school finds creative ways to add on fees to the tuition. Students are charged "lab fees" for courses that have no labs. (sigh) no more space.
