Although the outside of the building may give off an ominous feel, the school is a wonderful place to be. With two buildings, an extensive library, an art gallery, and a gym there is a home for every type of person. Being a community college the classes are fairly small and the teachers are available at all hours via their email. Any time you need help there are tons of sources that can be used. The school is located in Downtown Littleton meaning there is a plethora of shops and activities to explore within walking distance, as well as a light rail station that can take you straight to the heart of Denver. ACC offers a long list of certificates and associate degrees and will soon be offering bachelor degrees too! The only negative thing I have to say about the school is their counselors. Every time I have used the counselor system I have received wrong information or they just don’t know the answer. It’s much better to talk to you teachers or research the answer to your questions on your own

Allison

There are a lot of clubs and activities to get involved with which is the best thing about the college. Our tutoring opportunities while vast have very limited hours. The worst thing about the college is the advising office, they don't know how the degree check works. Another massive downfall is the breaking of laws on campus such as Title IX.

Mallory

The school has great academics, and is good for students who want to knock out core credits for very reasonable tuition. The math support center is extremely helpful, especially for calculus students that need supplemental help outside their classroom.

Mary

ACC did a great job of providing what I needed for the last two years, however, if you are looking for a university vibe from a school, it may not be your best choice. If you are looking to take a couple of classes or quickly finish an affordable associate's, it has some wonderful options!

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    When I was your age, I thought college was only about getting a degree to make more money. It is so much more. It is a new phase, moving you forward in life. College is about growth, both intellectual, and personal. It?s about stepping out of your comfort zone, experiencing new challenges, and realizing your strengths. College is the time in your life where you have the opportunity to find out about yourself, and what you are made of. This is your chance to experience new venues, and become a well-rounded individual. I know it?s clich?, but I?m going to say it anyway, ?You are young, and have your whole life ahead of you?. Use this time to experience, and learn all you can while you don?t have all of the grown up responsibilities. If you don?t, you may wish that you had. The worst thing you can do is live life with regrets. Stay focused. The party life may be enticing, and hanging out with friends is a good outlet, but keep it to a minimum, and make good choices. Be true to yourself, and always keep the promises you make to yourself.

  9. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    When bragging about my school to friends I center on changes I helped put in place. Arapahoe Community College was not following the law by counting American Sign Language credits for electives on all general studies degrees. For 12 years ACC was breaking a law, I took ASL 121, found out about this through a classmate, and we started collecting signatures, ended up writing a legal appeal and it passed!
