I attended CCAC after a year at an expensive private 4-year college. If it was an option I would still be at CCAC. The Community College stereotype is one that needs to be re-written. The classes at CCAC were the exact same quality as anywhere else. The classes had challenge, the teachers cared, and I left feeling enriched. I took classes over the entire spectrum and I was happy with every one. I ended with all of my expectations fulfilled. I would suggest Community College to anyone and everyone.

I attended the North Campus of CCAC for my classes and I loved it. The building is clean and open, the atmosphere was great for studying. They had a 2-story library with study carols in the second floor and computers on the first. There was a separate computer lab with free printing. The rooms are easy to find. Students also get discounts off of tickets for activities all around Pittsburgh including (but not limited to) Pirates Games, Phipps Conservatory, and the Zoo. I would usually stay on campus hours after my classes had ended either studying or just relaxing. Also, registering for classes was completely hassle-free. I loved CCAC overall.

I had a part-time job while I was at CCAC and one paycheck payed for one class. There is absolutely no financial stress and the education is just as good as a 4-year institution. I can even say it was better because the stress level was so low that I could concentrate on academics better and my grades sky-rocketed.

Spend your first 1-2 years at CCAC, you won't regret it. Your wallets and future will thank you. Do some research into the classes you would be taking at other institutions, do well in them and the credits will almost always transfer. You will save thousands of dollars at least in just one year.

Any kind of student.

The teachers here are all different yet all the same in the fact that they all want you to acquire knowledge and to succeed in life. I am definitely learning a lot and will continue too.

Not only does schooling give me something to do instead of sleeping in till 2 in the afternoon everyday but it's helping me to achieve my goal. Very enjoyable !

This is the reason that I attend a community college. Instead of paying 30,000 a year in a university and attending the same classes I am now I pay 80% less. Definitely a bang for the buck !

A great college to get on the fast track to the career you are seeking for. It's cheaper and quicker and just the best way to go !

the community college of allegheny county is a great school with teachers who are passionate about their fields and seeing their students succeed. it offers great value with affordable classes and a school-wide commitment to helping keep textbook prices low. the campus is convenient and all the faculty and staff are friendly and genuinely interested in helping students with their studies.

visit the counseling and student services offices and get enrolled as soon as possible. don't put off your education any longer.

the classes are interesting and challenging and prepare students for the workforce or for transfer to a 4-year college or university.

food is available at the cafeteria with a wide selection of options at reasonable prices to satisfy every hungry student.

there are a wide variety of clubs and organizations which provide opportunities for students to get involved, make friends, and have fun.

for the price per credit there is no better place to start your college education or get a degree to advance your career.

for anyone looking to get started at or get back in school.

great security staff is present even after the latest night classes.

the learning environment for ccac is outstanding. The class ratio to the teacher is compared to the class ratio of teacher to students in learning in high school.

even though its not the dorm life, since most students who go to community college commute, they get a better education and if you don't enjoy being there, you can always transfer.

Community colleges are much more less expensive than going to a public school. if you don't know what you want to major in, I would advise you to apply for a community college, to start taking general classes first, so you get a feel of what you might want to do. After that you can transfer to the college of your preferred choice

* get involved
* if you go through a financial issue in the year apply for financial aid
* make friends

*Student who don't exactly know their major
* students who have struggled in high school(supportive services staff is excellent)
