Read What Students Are Sayinguniversity of phoenix is a wonderful school. uop is very helpful and understanding of their students needs. uop offer classes to fit your lifestyle.
Meloldy from Bradenton, FL
The classes here are very informational depending on what kind of student you are, you may have to switch a teacher or two, because I'll admit some of these teachers don't know how to connect with younger people. But the information they give is still very useful.
Andre from Chandler, AZ
The courses available really stretch your mind to new levels.
Jessica from Fernley, NV
The Teachers were great, the ones I had loved answering questions and didn't mind staying behind to help out any problems.
Alyssa from Phoenix, AZ
I'm currently taking some of the highest levels offered and this school has the perfect enviornment for it! The classes have about 15-35 students per class and the teachers make themselves easily available during or after school. I feel the professors make sure you understand what's being taught and allow opportunities during class to ask questions if you're not sure. These professors really know how to teach!
Christina from Phoenix, AZ
Phoenix College is one of the best MCCCD colleges. The majority of the teachers are excellent at what they do and are passionate about teaching. The small size of the college provides an intimate setting where you can really get to know your classmates and teachers.
Fiona from Phoenix, AZ
Phoenix College is not like any other community college, it is full of amazing helpful resources to not only help you accomplish the associate's degree of your choice but to also do great things while there. It is filled with a wide variety of degrees and certificates that will prepare you and give you a look at what to expect in the work field. If you ever ever find yourself struggling with a paper, assignment, or finding a job you can easily access any of the thousand of the resources they offer to students.
Sandra from Phoenix, AR
Very good personal interaction with students. Affordable tuition and books. Large calm campus with lots of student resources.
Kishan from Phoenix, AZ
I give Phoenix Comnunity College a ten, with one being the lowest and ten the highest. It was an awesome experience, the teachers were friendly yet strict. I learned so much in such a short time it was well worth it.
Elizabeth from Mesa, AZ
University of Phoenix offers a fun and challenging environment if one applies oneself. In any learning environment there will be pros and cons that one must address. In the end, it is up to the student to find the niche that they fit into rather than listen to wild rantings of disgruntled students.
