Reading Area Community College

Reading Area Community College has surprised me greatly. I went to a community college because of my financial situation. You always hear of the "poor" quality of community colleges because of much cheaper it is compared to other schools. I must say, I am extremely satisfied with the education I am receiving. I have close friends who go to Penn State and comparing classes and class material, the two are almost identical. I couldn't be happier with my choice of having my first two years of college be at a community college, especially at Reading Area Community College.

Reading Area Community College is a good institution that looks out for its students and cares about their community. However, the engineering and science programs are still being explored and worked out. Some classes are extremely new and are not as solid as most of RACC's other humanity classes. The staff is also very accommodating to each students' academic needs and helps them figure out how to balance their work and other responsibilities with their classes. Because of them, I was able to pursue my professional athletics while completing my Associate degree.

I don't have a problem with Reading Area Community College. The teachers were very nice to me and actually gave me the attention that I needed. I flourished my first year in college and I have gotten on the Dean's List two times in a row. It is a pretty decent school and very affordable.

It has given me a great experience throughout the past 2 years of my time here. My goal is too have a bachelors shortly after pursue a masters. I feel like going to the Reading Area Community College truly pushed me forward in making education affordable and helped me build upon my education. With that being said I will be graduating from RACC in 3 weeks with a Business Admin AA (Transfer Associates) which I am more then thrilled too continue my education towards a bachelors at Temple University. Couldn't be more thankful of the education that RACC has offered truly am a blessed person. Great students, great diversity and amazing professors and other helpful people on campus to be in touch with.

It is a great school and very good environment. I've enjoyed going there and made a lot of friends. I used to be enrolled at Montgomery County Community College and I disliked it so much I took a break from school all together but once I started going to RACC I really felt like I was a part of something special and I found people with the same likes and interests who are in the same field of study.

so far i like racc

It is a community college. It is what you can expect of it. But what I didn't expect, was to enjoy my time here. I thoroughly have enjoyed the classes and the professors are really exceptional. They give you as equal of an education as you would get at any other college or university.

My overall opinion of Reading Area Community College is that it is an okay school, but it is just a community college. There is not a whole lot going on and I am only there for class. Reading is not the best area in Pennsylvania to be, but overall I guess it could be worse.

It's affordable and its a fantastic college for people who are not sure or want to jump right into a job. It has great teachers and plenty of friendly students. There is always something to do such as sports, clubs, speakers, and plenty of actives.

My school is a safe campus with many security guards on duty. The academics are great too. There are many opportunities to meet with your instructors and are available to help. There are also many services offered at Reading Area Community College. The writing center is very helpful and I always get a second opinion on my papers.
