Pima Community College

How much you learn here is completely up to you. Your schedule is created by you; this makes it easy to find a way for college to fit your life, but also to allow yourself to slack. Pima Community College is not a huge step from high school but a perfect transition into a university due to it's smaller class sizes and because the staff wants to see you succeed. With this being said, the more interaction with my teachers that I receive here at Pima allows me to learn all the information they are teaching me, and to understand my assignments instead of struggling though them confused.

From normal school stuff (academics) to abnormal (Powerpoint, Excel, Word tricks) to local (stuff about Tucson) to just plain fun (I took a class called Defensive Tactics for Law Enforcement), I have learned a lot at Pima. It is very easy to find a quite spot to study and read, and there are plenty of computers to do research on if the you need them.

The teachers are great, as long as you keep up with the homework there never is problems!

So certain classes have more 'learning' being done than others, if you really care about learning vs getting the easy A, you can just check rateyourprofessor.com. Most of the prerequisite teachers understand that they are just a class that most people don't want to take so they teach the basics. While the actual classes like the Respiratory, Computer Graphics, Psychology classes have really nice teachers who teach well.

I love there classes here. I go to the downtown campus and have also done plenty of online classes. So what you need to know before you start is to have some kind of idea of what you want to major and minor in. This is super helpful because while going to PCC you should take classes that are specific to that course. Some general ed classes aren't necessary with some majors you might want to take.
