REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThis college is has a great variety of classes, clubs, and activities. Yes, it is small, but you get a lot out of it. The professors are very professional and the campus is small enough to an extent where you could find your classes very easy. I recommend attending this school if you still want to live at home

Adirondack Community College has taught me a lot about what the world of college academics is like as well as what life is really all about. The curriculum is geared toward individual needs and desires with the opportunity to select from a variety of majors and certifications. The classes are structured so that you can learn from them and you end the semesters feeling like it was well worth your time. For me they fly by. Professors are available on a regular as well as personally needed basis and are always willing to help you with any concerns you may be having.
Erin from Queensbury, NY
As a more advanced student majoring in Communications and Media Arts, I was pleasantly surprised and excited to learn as much as I did during my two years of being a student at Adirondack Community College. It's very clear that Paigo, a teacher and also the head of the department, knew what he was talking about, and he made sure that everyone from all levels of experience learned a great deal from his classes. (Which shows in the student work) The other teachers in the major were great as well, albeit he was my teacher in most my Media Arts classes.
Despite the fact that the Media Arts classes were great and I learned a lot from them, the required liberal arts courses were sub-par. For the most part, any classes that ended with a 101 are bleek introductory classes that are designed so practically no one can fail.
My boyfriend was a business major, and although I can't really speak of his personal experiences, he did enjoy his classes and felt that the teachers were very knowledgeable. He also can confirm that the 101 courses are pathetic.
