I love Allan Hancock College, particularly as a low-income first-generation Hispanic college student. This school has excellent counselors who are ecstatic to help us reach the stage for many of us, university, furthermore as a STEM student there are many workshops through the MESA/STEM center to help us excel. We even have an industry advisor by the name of Marcus Carson who is always ready to assist us and help us STEM students find internships. Additionally, while I cannot speak for all sectors on campus I have stopped by the Fine Arts Complex and it is stunning which tells me the school cares about their arts-loving creative students. This is a wonderful thing in general to provide for low-income Hispanic students as many of us have never been exposed to such things. Overall, I have loved my experience so far at the college, and doors that were not open to me at my high school, Arroyo Grande High School, are now open to me thanks to this wonderful institution.

My opinion on Allan Hancock College is that so far it has been an awesome experience. This is my first year and its only been 1 semester but my teachers were lovely and even though everything is through zoom I've met a few friends and got to know my teachers a little bit more through breakout rooms and them just always being there making sure we are doing okay. I had an awesome first semester can't wait to see what this next year is like.

it is overall a good school to start your degree. given the nature of the school most students will need to go to a university after to further their education. there are many programs though they offer that need no further education if the student so chooses to. these include nursing and culinary arts.

I love AHC it's faculty are very caring about there students. Most of the teachers are really nice and great educators, parking kind of sucks not enough of it. But great place to further your education.

Well, i am a first time student at Allan Hancock College, but so far i think it is a great school. The campus is clean inside and out, the school looks appealing, and it just looks like they take a lot of pride in their school. Everyone that i have met so far has been nothing but kind to me, and i appreciate the fact that it is a friendly environment and community.

Allan Hancock is a great place for students looking to get a good start on their education. The professors really care about your success and often go out of their way to help you should you need it. The amenities are not too plentiful although it is a community college so thats what you'd expect.

Allan Hancock College in my experience has been very delightful. The professor I have had so far are very caring towards the student. They care for the well being and education of thier students. The counselors are also a great help for those who are just starting the college career at Hancock.

I took a summer class and over all felt like a good campus. A lot bigger than I expected since I had never been on the campus before. Very nice people and teachers. Teacher helped me pass the class and gave me options on extra credit. Very easy to talk to

It’s honestly the best choice for many students. By skipping the university straight out of high school you not only save money but they gave the students of near by high school’s they’re first year free. It’s near by, great teachers and amazing class. They is an option for everyone.

I absolutely love my school. So many amazing professors and awesome students! I started my freshmen year in 2016 right after high school. It is so affordable with the help of FAFSA and other school tuition waivers for those that graduate from high school and go straight into a two year college. There are new grants and scholarships all the time to help you get through and what you need to push through your college years as a Bulldog! Highly recommend this college to anyone! The best so far!
Mandi
In my opinion, Allan Hancock College cares about their students and wants the best for them. They provide many different groups and help centers who welcome everyone. This school is all about helping their students achieve their goals and beyond. Staff and professors do everything they can to be available for their students. It is truly a wonderful campus!

Allan Hancock College is one of the best Junior Colleges that you can attend in California. Allan Hancock provides for so many on and off campus opportunities and is understanding for student's rigorous schedules. In the heart of a not-too-busy town, Allan Hancock is surrounded in small shops and joints to catch a bite to eat and study for your classes. Allan Hancock provides opportunities for students both in Santa Maria and their Lompoc campus, a city of Arts and Flowers.

Allan Hancock College has two different locations. One is at Lompoc, and the other is at Santa Maria. The difference between the two is that the Santa Maria Campus is much bigger than the one at Lompoc. Santa Maria has more facilities than Lompoc does. For example, Santa Maria has more classes than Lompoc does and, unlike Lompoc, they have the Writing Center and the Lab school that even opens at night time. Allan Hancock College also provides online courses if they can't go to one of two campuses for any reason, but overall, both Lompoc and Santa Maria campuses, including online courses, can come in handy whenever one choice doesn't work out, but the other can.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Buckle down and make it happen! These are the words that I would try with every fiber of my being to get my(high school senior)self to absorb. Just like with most things that we all dread in life, it is not the actual action that is hard to do but it is the idea of the action that impeads us from progressing. Considering the word "education," most people would say that you can't get one without thinking. But is the reality of this process better off started by not thinking and simply doing? I believe whole heartedly that if I had stopped thinking about it and just did it, I would currently hold a colleg degree. Knowing what I know now about college life, the advice that I would give myself is, "Buckle down and make it happen!"
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish that I would have known more about scholarships and grants. If I would have known more about them I would have applied for more and I probably could have afforded to take more classes. I would have told myself to apply for every scholarship that was available even if I didn't necessarily qualify because some scholarships have very few applicants.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
The kind of person that shouldn't attend thid school is someone who can't necisarily motivate themselves. You really have to put yourself to the test and know that your gunna take part of your free time to finish projects and homework because no one in college is holding your hand along the way.
The best thing about my school is the resources that they give to students. No matter the race, size, intelligence of any student they give everyone an equal opportunity for extra or less help, to me this is what ive strived of in College.
Any student who wants to get ahead in the education and wants to go to a school that is a little more affordable than a four year should attend Allan Hancock College. It has campuses in more than two cities and it is very easy to get started with your education there.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The most frustrating thing about Allan Hancock is that there are not a lot of after school clubs. In high school I was involved in many clubs that Allan Hancock does not have.
