Everyone was very helpful within my degree at RACC. I wish they were a four-year school. I would have completed my degree there. They have great relationships with all other colleges in the area, so take as many classes as you can for the price. It's fantastic! I'm hoping to come back to RACC to teach when I complete my degree! Fantastic college!

RACC is a place of opportunity for those dedicated to their education and willing to put in the effort and ask for help. After getting to know my advisors and professors, I've had no trouble getting help. The campus is clean and fairly nice with the upgrades made to the cafeteria and library. It's not luxurious, but it's pretty good and improving.

Instructors are helpful,knowledgeable and qualified. If you feel you know more go elsewhere. Students have to be responsible for their own learning.

In regards to the medical fields, you are tested on what the crediting body wants you to know; not what the teachers teach.

School is fine for a community college, it felt like other students did not want to be there. staff was good for the most part. My sociology professor was super nice, others were not.
Overall 1.7
Even though there are security guards its hard to feel safe, especially after the shootings on campus. They make you take a lot of unnecessary classes as "prerequisites" that other colleges don't require. If you don't register for you classes when it opens, don't expect to get anything worth your time. Most teachers don't help or teach.

You have to take a lot of BS classes

Too dependent on technology and wrongfully based assumptions. Not to mention outtaged priced books and supplies. Also instructors could be more supportive .

Bankers hours, finance office is very unorganized. Every semester I have to take off a few days for admin issues with this school. They are not flexible or accommodating no matter what your schedule is.
