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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I am enjoying being here at Pima Community College because it is very close to home, but even if it weren't I am still meeting plenty of new people not only around Tucson, but also from around the world. I like this school because it isn't exceedingly hard that I would want to drop out like most university students, but in face it makes me work harder to earn excelling grades.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
At Pima Community College the teachers are extremely qualified and teach you personally. You can get a great education here, and join many of the programs they offer, such as the medical center, for a tuition less than half of what an university charges. And since the schedule creation is in your hands, you can transfer or earn your associates degree in record timing by taking full time credit hours.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
A very important tip for prospective students is to not let yourself slack. In a college it is up to you to get your work done. Some of your teachers at Pima will encourage you and remind you to an extensive level what assignments are due and win, but there are some that leave it all up to you to keep track of your syllabus or the online announcements. Time management will make your college career much more simpler, and planners or simply writing down all your assignments and due dates ahead of time will really help you.
