I am currently studying as a music major at American River College. The teachers are excellent and push you to become a better musician. For a community college, we have teachers that are willing to help their students through the internet, office hours and after class. There is a lot of opportunities to learn through the learning resource center filled with tutors and through the newly built library.
I enjoy being here but can't wait to transfer to a university. I feel that by being here I can be competitive amongst other students at the university level.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I enjoy the company of the teachers who push me to be a better student. Numerous tools like online videos help enhance my experience in class. Audio tracks in the music department also help students have more practice for the quizzes! I didn't give it 5-stars because sometimes the the teachers can be extremely passionate and take things a bit too far.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Hek yes! A great education for less! In the music department we keep up competition with universities all around the nation. We even created a college magazine that is nationally known!

Many of the sports programs are in top shape! The American River College Volleyball team has risen from being the most defeated team in their league to being one of the top community college sports teams in the state of California!!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
So much experiences that have made me a better student! Make sure not to get distracted with all the activity. Participate as much as you can and it will benefit you.
It is hard to get a counselor appointment and it is easy to get side tracked, so make sure to have a plan and see a counselor regularly. Keep a goal in mind and the teachers here will be able to help you!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
athletes
musicians
artist
history
engineering
medical field
nursing (competitive)
and for those to knock off those GE class!!!
