I can't say enough good things about CCAC. There are so many fantastic professors, as well as, many clubs and activities to get involved in. I am graduating after 2 years as an honor grad with a double associates degree. But most importantly, I have received outstanding instruction and I am debt-free! Thank you CCAC for 2 great years!

Great College
Overall 4.9
I attended the Allegheny (which i loved but parking was sometimes an issue) and Boyce campuses. My professors were all amazing and made classes interesting. Most of my professors also teach at the surrounding schools like Pitt, Carlow and Duquesne. I took online classes as well which were convenient and very helpful. CCAC is a great school!

I love CCAC and I'll miss it when I move on.

The main Allegheny Campus (North Shore) is awesome. The buildings are old and charming. Most of the teachers are caring and helpful as long as you show up and try your best. The classes are the most affordable. I have gone back to school and without CCAC, I wouldn't be able to follow my goals to get my dream job. The only complaint is parking

CCAC is great lots of awesome professors and staff not I high turnover in staff so you see the same faces for years which always makes it feel like home when your on campus they try with clubs but it takes students actually signing up to make them thrive is seems people more study and go home afterwards or most of us work
Overall 4.5
Nice campus. Cool professors. Just terrible terrible parking. I can almost never find a spot to park. Everyone fights for a spot for the morning classes and it's ridiculous-- it's caused me to be late to class numerous times.
Overall 4.4
I went to Boyce Campus, the atmosphere was great. The faculty and staff were friendly and helpful. I got my job after graduating with my degree.
Overall 4.3
I wouldn't be where I am today without CCAC. Most of my professors were more than willing to go out of their way to help me succeed, and the classes have been higher quality than many I've taken at other, larger colleges and universities in the area. If you want to be social, there are opportunities, but you have to seek them out and go to events!

This place is awful. 3 classes they said would transfer, didn't. I feel like they would tell you anything to get you to sign up for classes. What a joke!

CCAC as a whole sucks awful faculty and subpar education.

This review is for NORTH CAMPUS. It is TERRIBLE. Administration/Registrar is so unprofessional and rude. For international/ transfer students, STAY WAY from this campus as far as you can. Be careful on the evaluation process for your transfer credits (I had to request the re-evaluation from other campus). Stay way from STEM majors(Multimedia,etc)
Overall 1.1
Horrible experience all around. Student service people just tried to get me out of the office as soon as possible. The math department is way off about what they should be teaching in lower classes. The parking is as far away from the buildings as it could be. They didn't even know how many credits I had when I went to check with them.
Overall 1.2
This review is specifically for the North Campus. Clubs are cliques, not welcoming, especially their 'acclaimed' newspaper. Cafeteria regularly serves raw food. A lot of professors unfit to be teaching, won't name names but I'm certain they have reviews on here. Most of the administration across campus' are unprofessional, save for a few.
Overall 1.2
They recommended classes they said would transfer and they didn't transfer. Ask the school you are transferring to.

most professors were not very good, the wifi was bad and the overall culture was not good.
Overall 1.6
It is useful. You can get credits for a 4 year or an associates for a low price, but honestly, that is all it's good for. Not inspirational, not very engaging. The professors, for the most part, do NOT care and neither does the admin. Makes you feel like their paycheck and not a person. Go there for what you need, but look onto bigger things. Pleas
