There are many classes you can take in a wide range of subjects, and most of the professors here are experts in their field. For example, I took Bio 101; basic class, something to get out of the way, right? Well, my professor knew so many things, and about half of those things weren't even in the book! The lab was great too, we got to do hands on work on DNA sequencing and watched meiosis and mitosis right on the screen to see the difference. I've taken also ceramics and martial arts there. Master Sherman, my martial arts instructor, didn't just make us go through the exercises that every martial artist knows and helped us with learning different ways to defend ourselves that you can't learn in a Karate class alone.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The campus is a medium campus as far as colleges go, but none of the classes are too far apart to get to. Well maybe the Annexes. Even though AACC is a community college, the teachers really care about their students, and that's a plus for me. If I had a teacher, and I'm being honest here, if I had a teacher that didn't care about me, I'd start to slack. They really push the envelope, and that's a good thing. Also, there's good opportunities in extracurricular activities too. There's anime/gaming/Japanese clubs, outdoors/environmental clubs, and you can even join one of the many musical or theatrical productions here, like jazz band, orchestra (full and string), concert band, and opera, as well as various forms of dancing and plays from famous, and not so famous, playwrights.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I think this college has a wonderful value. Most professors are experts in their field, and they care about their students, which motivates the students to do better. There's a huge variety of available classes, without having to walk three football fields to get from class to class.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
This college has the kind of community feel that you might get in a high school, but grow up and act like adults, not high schoolers. I mean, have fun, be happy, but be mature. Nothing ruins a day at college than thinking you can still goof off but you learn pretty quick you really can't.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Those of you willing to learn, those of you hungry for knowledge, those of you that don't have the money to spend of a real college, this is as close as you can get to one without being four year. It's a moderatecollege really geared towards anyone who really wants to come.
