Review of Alvin Community College

from Dickinson, TX

Describe your college in three sentences.

Alvin Community College is an ideal source for continuing your education! It has excellent professors who care and want you to succeed in life and with your education. If you live in or around Alvin, Texas, Alvin Community College is a wise first step onto your career path.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be purposeful in all that you do. Attend your classes; you have to be there to have the benefit of all the knowledge that is shared. Use the tutoring center for any extra help with topics you may not be understanding; never be afraid to ask questions!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

All of my professors have required me to stretch myself and do things outside of my comfort zone but I am learning s much in the process! This also helps to build my self-confidence as a student. I would put Alvin's prof's up against any found at larger universities any day.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

There are no dorms at ACC.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food service department at ACC does a decent job with the food that is served on campus. They could improve things somewhat by giving students and faculty more options to chose from as well as healthier options.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

You can be as busy, or not, as you want to be at ACC. There are tons of clubs and organizations to be a part of as well as athletic events, plays, and musical events.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

ACC is extremely affordable compared to universities. We pay a lot less for me to attend ACC vs. what we pay for my daughter to attend one of the states universities. You just can not get an education for less than what they charge. There are also lots of scholarships available to assist you with paying these fees.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

ACC is a great place for someone who maybe cannot afford or those who wish to save a little money on classes before attending university or for those who are a bit timid about jumping into a large university but do want to pursue a degree. It allows you to get in and get started down a path towards your career and assists you with making that transition into college life.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are so many clubs and organizations to join or attend events held by those clubs/organizations.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Phi Theta Kappa, an honor student club, is the only greek life on campus.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

ACC is a very safe campus and this is a blessing to its students.
