This school really cares about its students. You can't fail here unless you just don't go. There are so many resources available- you just have to ask.

The Campus got nominated for an Aspen award, so it's one of the top ten community colleges. So many faculty members care, and many students are heavily involved. There is a new coffee shop with affordable food. There are many clubs to be involved in. I always feel safe except at night, but AC police can escort you to your car. I'm so happy here!

Many nice areas to sit at, rather you want to be alone or in a setting with others, indoors or outdoors, theres something for everyone! Learning framework is a dumb ,useless scam of a class, which is required.

The clubs are terrible because they're only at a specific time and location and don't try to change and be more flexible for the new students. I don't see how the tutoring services are highly praised! The tutors are awful at communication and often don't know the answer themselves, they're of no help at all.

Some of the teachers have P.h.D.itis and think they are above the common student. This college doesn't have many activities or interest groups for students to participate in. The parking is horrible especially for disabled/handicap students as there are too few handicap parking spaces and the cafeteria food is food poisoning in the making.

Teaching is done from maps that are ripped and torn while they do construction. Golf cart with custom covers are all over the place but not one parking garage! They rip you off on books which have to be their version. Ironic that financial aid is a "burden on society" but the fact is that the federal governments money is what schools go after!
