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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Over the past two years I have jumped at every opportunity this college has presented me. I have gotten involved in many clubs and extracurricular activities that not only bring me great pleasure but will also look great on a resume in the future. The students that make up Adirondack Community College all bring something a little different to the table. It is possible for you to have a class with your best friend from high school and the mother of three kids that lives in your neighborhood. Due to the diversity of it's students, this college creates a great opportunity to begin your college career. Whether you are using it as a starting point to a four year school or an entry in the job market ACC has many opportunities for you. The professors I have taken classes with have all been great. I have never met a group of people more willing to work with me and see that I succeed in my life. There are many activities on campus sponsored by the College Activity Board that offer great opportunities to meet other students as well as to get involved. I came to ACC as a quiet, shy, girl who did not know my place in this world. I am leaving a strong, confident, and successful well rounded student.

Get you application in early. Although this is a community college there are many individuals who take advantage of the great opportunities this college has to offer. Once your application has been accepted you will meet with an academic advisor to create your schedule and plan your future at the college.

Talk with current students and ask them about their experiences. Every person has a story to tell and someone is just waiting to share theirs with you.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
When the time came for me to decide where I was going to attend college I was absolutely terrified. I had no idea where I wanted to go or even if I wanted to go. As a student, I was very quiet and shy. When it came to the classroom I would hardly ever ask a question or share an opinion with the class. The thought of having to talk with a professor made me nauseous. I did not think I could do any of that or that I would even be successful in college. Does this sound like you? If you answered yes to any of these aspects, then Adirondack Community College is the place for you. The faculty members help to take students just like me and bring them out of their shells. They have a way of making the intimidated feel mighty. The set up of the classrooms creates an environment that welcomes learning and encourages students to participate, which for me was the biggest problem. On the other hand, if you are one of those ambitious students that does not really fear anything, Adirondack Community College could be the place for you as well. They offer many clubs, extracurricular activities, and chances to let your voice be heard. At Adirondack Community College you are more than just a number.
