REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI have been learning a lot in my speech class, because I haven't had a speech class since the 8th grade. My teacher, Michelle Syltie, is fun and helpful in everything. However, my government class with Charles Miles is more of a repeat of all of my AP high school history classes than anything else.
Erin from Austin, TX
For the price this school has some amazing teachers and learning facilities.
Suzanna from Austin, TX
Although this college is in fact a community college, it's really not that bad of a school. It definitely depends on campuses, but that's the great part about it; you can choose whichever campus you want, find the teacher you want, and choose from a lot of classes. Also, this college revolves around convenience, be it by location, transportation, or even scheduling.
Mary from Austin, TX
I am learning so much at ACC Cypress Creek. The teachers are very helpful and so willing to stop and explain if one does not understand.
Madison from Round Rock, TX
ACC has been one of the most invigorating experiences of my life. I enjoy attending classes, listening to my professors and having one-on-one help. Here college is more than an education; it is a lifestyle of learning!

Ian from Austin, TX
i am attending austin community college to complete my basics, while i continue to work and save money to help my parents pay for my tuition and books. i have found it easy to get around and the classes are small, and getting to know the others students has allowed for great study groups.
