Ashley - 09/15/2019
This is a great College that offers a lot to it’s students, staff members , and community. I’m very proud to say that I belong to this college. There are online programs available for those who cant attend class and night classes also for us non traditional students. They have a great campus store. They are also participating in the PTECH Program which my son in currently enrolled in. It started his 9th grade year at high school. He will graduate high school with an Associates degree in Computer Science. It’s an amazing college. Great staff, great environment. Even the food is like gourmet meals. This school has been amazing. Without its support I wouldn’t have been able to continue pursue my degree. My goal is to transfer to FSU after ACM to get my bachelors degree.
Vernon - 08/11/2019
I honestly love This school, it’s full of great people who help you every step towards graduation, always good vibes and they sometimes help with scholarships. The housing is very close to the main campus so getting to class on time had never been an issue, also the teachers really strive to give you the best most updated knowledge on the criteria they are teaching.

Overall, Allegany College of Maryland is the best affordable college I could attend. The facilities are all close together so I don't have to drive from class to class, and each building has plenty of room for me to do my studies. I enjoy learning at ACM and I am excited to learn more.
Tyrek - 07/23/2018
Allegany College of Maryland is great college to attend. The Professor are very helpful. They go out of their way to make sure you understand the work. Tutoring is always available. The school staff is also very helpful and friendly as well. No problem is to big . Their is always someone around to help.
Kwame - 05/30/2018
It a wonderful school for students who are easily distracted. It’s also has a lot of clubs you can join and the teachers are amazing. Allegany College has good housing apartments and 24hr security service. The school is also very strict on drugs alcohol on campus grounds and they have a zero tolerance for it .
Erika - 03/27/2018
Allegany has good and bad just like any other school facility. I went for a semester and had medical issues, some teachers would help me out and some didn't . But overall I think its a very quiet and safe campus. I wish they offered more online classes and would help you set up to become a student in the beginning more than what they do.
Nyob - 03/08/2018
If you are black, stay away from this college or any college in the area of Western Maryland. I don't care if they offer to pay your entire tuition, books and housing, it is not worth it. They are die hard, to the bone racists!!!!! There were at least two black students that ended up in jail. High school students had to move away and live with relatives because of racial harassment at school that left them afraid to continue going. The coach for Dunbar High School in DC, had his team walk off the field because the local team repeatedly used racial slurs. I lived in the area for 7 years and left with a criminal record as a result of racist neighbors, law enforcement and judges.
Becky - 06/02/2017
Allegany College of Maryland provides students a quality education while nurturing student growth and development. Class size is small to moderate, even distance learning/online courses are easily accessible with professors that care about the student.
Corinne - 05/09/2017
Allegany College of Maryland is a great school! I attended for about a year, as an out of state student since the college is based in Maryland and I attended a Pennsylvania satellite school. It was my first community college experience after being out of school for a few years. It was a great school for me, and I'm just disappointed I had to transfer early due to my location closing.
Katie - 04/14/2017
It's great for a community college. The small class sizes make learning easier and having a relationship with the professors. It's locatesld in a small town so there isn't a lot of things to do. To go anywhere you have to drive off campus. The campus is very diverse.
Erin - 04/11/2017
Overall Allegany is a very friendly place. There are a numerous amount of activities and classes that fit perfectly to every individual. Everyone is very welcoming and the professors are very helpful. However, the student has to be the one to initiate the conversation. Teachers here are helpful, but only if you ask for help. There isn't much to do around the school, but the scenery is phenomenal throughout the seasons.
Isaac - 04/06/2017
It is a good education and is pretty affordable. The college offers plenty of scholarships to help alleviate the financial burden. The class are not too large so you get some one-on-one time with the instructors. The teachers, for the most part, take time to help you through any issue you may have. The college is beautiful and is located in a very beautiful area.
Tristan - 11/07/2016
I love it here so far. I was worried that I would miss out on some opportunities by going to a smaller school, but so far my classes have been very enjoyable and I feel like I'm building real world skills that I'll be able to use once I graduate. The small class size is great, the campus is pretty calm overall, and the teachers are all easily reachable. There's always room for improvement, I would be interested in a little more activity going on at the campus, and I've only actually been going here for one semester now, but it's overall been a great experience.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Rememeber to stay focused senior year! Do not slack off Senior Year! Your actions in your last semesters of high school will count, and can affect a college's decision to accept you in to their school. Make sure that you are talking to your counselor about college costs and about financial aid, loans, and even scholarships. Have your counselor sit you down and discuss the pros and cons of loans until you understand in great detail. Education is a very expensive investment, so be aware of the expenses of the school that you decide to choose.
The transititon from high school to college can be rough, so make sure that when you enter college you are meeting with your advisor on a regular basis. This routine, will keep you academically on track. Also, do not be afraid to seek help in college. There are tutors and tutoring centers for a reason! "The worst question is the question never asked." Make sure you are not to asking for help the night before your midterm exam.
College can be very exciting and fun at times, but do not get so carried away that you are having more fun than studying.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
When I first entered Allegany College of Maryland, I was so thrilled about the idea of getting to live on my own. The biggest mistake that I could have made, was letting myself get carried away in the social aspects of college. College is very expensive, and getting too carried away with all the socializing and "partying" will definitely cost you. Your grades will suffer, and sometimes this ends up affecting your financial aid/ loans. If you do too poorly for more than two semesters your financial aid will be taken away until your academics improve.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
The kind of person shouldnt attend this is a person who is not diligent ,strongwilled and accurate about graduating and pertaining their degree. A student wh just wants to party and no do any work. Allegany College is about its education and works hard to get the students who attend there the eduacation they need to excel.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
The Nursing Program at ACM is highly regarded. It has an exception standing in the community and with surrounding colleges that have nursing programs. Nursing graduates are hired quickly due to the superior reputation of the program. I'm proud to have been accepted into the Nursing Program at ACM.
All students must apply yearly for financial aid. This process starts with the FAFSA.
Though financial aid deadlines vary by school, it is a good idea to apply as soon as possible. For the upcoming school year, you can apply as early as October 1 for the FAFSA. Additional school aid will be dependent on the FAFSA results.
