Pima gives amazing opportunities to take classes that most universities already expect you to take during your first two years towards a bachelors but at a fraction of the cost. I've already done two semesters at Pima and it cost me $2400 vs $13,000+ that a university would've charged for the exact same classes. It's a no brainer to go to Pima! :)

Great school!

Many different campuses so there's always one close, also the teachers (for the most part) are all very caring and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. Would recommend Pima to anyone looking for an affordable college education who's not yet ready for a University.

Pima Community College is Tucson's greatest stepping stone for success and it has been an incredible experience. I have created a lasting and supportive network that will help me reach my goals. The clubs and organizations really help make a difference in your life as well as in the community. My professors were there for my success, too!

This school is cheap and gives great opportunities for everyone. You can take classes online and on any campus. You can get your associates degree in almost anything, the clubs are amazing and there are programs like nursing, dental , welding and and many more. Overall tis school is great.

It's a great school, especially if you're working. The only thing I wish was that there were more places on campus to grab a bite to eat (this is in reference to the Downtown campus).

This school will treat you like crap. They will change your advisors as quickly as possible and they won't know anything about your program. The staff are rude and could careless about the students. It has went from over a 60% graduation rate to a whopping 9% because they lost care for the students. You will be very disappointed if you attend here.
Overall 1.4
School is trash. Like High School all over again. The advisors have an attitude problem and act like they have a hard job and will give you attitude for no reason. They will give you the wrong information just because they don't want to do anything but they want a paycheck huh? Trash school doesn't help you, they just want your money.

Avoid at all cost.

This school has barely maintained its academic accreditation. Teachers and staff here are the WORST I've ever encountered (and Ive taken classes at a few different schools). There are constant emergency text messages of "armed person" on campus. The campuses are extremely crowded and the student body is super trashy and low brow. I don't recommend.
Overall 1.9
This school needs a lot of improvement. I mean, A LOT.
