Great Science and Technical Departments, with knowledgeable teachers and staff. Library is a great place to study with the free wifi and semi quiet study areas. The only problems I have had is with parking.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
In the first two to three weeks plan on getting to school at least a half hour before your class to look for parking which can be a crazy nightmare. Sign up as soon as you are allowed to dont wait around till the last minute.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
There are different types of classes, introductory classes and college prep classes. And so there are different levels of difficulty as well. The basic classes are fairly easy but as you get into the upper division classes in any area or discipline they do start having a bunch more homework and much more study is needed.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Well this is hard for me cause I am partial to Chipotle. But I would say that while there is not much on campus if you go off campus within a block or two there are many different restaurants, including Chipotle.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a dirt path that goes along the south side of the campus and down along a small creek (more of a runoff) that you can go on walks or go running along.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Since this school is a Community College you are not paying through the noses to attend here. And it is pay per unit instead of pay per semester so it works out for many who have to work they can take night classes. But I would say as a whole I think that American River College has great programs and is one of the best in the area for what you have to pay to get in.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This and any Community College is great for working people, parents, returning students. Anyone who doesnt have the time to go full time or is not ready for the full on rigor of a full school schedule.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are many clubs at the school I my self in in at least two of the clubs. They range from Honor Societies that are GPA based to Bible study groups to student versions of professional groups like American Welding Society.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I have never had an issue but it is in a more sketchy neighbor hood and if you have evening classes make sure you walk out to your car in a group. But during the day I have not seen or heard of anything happening.
