It is great place to begin and go beyond. I appreciate the straightforwardness this college gives. The college online experience has been very positive for me and i can not wait to continue and pursue the area of my expertise. Hopefully one day Alvin will help me find my dream job.

Overall, ACC is a wonderful campus. It maintains a well kept appearance and is taken care of. Professors are engaged with the students and are an email away if needed. Also, when there are any campus activities students are sure to know about them! The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, as well as the administrations, it truly is a great place to be.

Alvin Community College is one of the best junior colleges in the nation. they offer to elite classes lead by some of the most intelligent professors, the class sizes are small which makes for a comfortable and very advanced learning environment. The student-professor relationships blossom, every professor is willing to go above and beyond to see each student excel and to also challenge the students. It is will great pride to say I started at ACC, they work very well with promoting dual credit to the local high school students and making their first college years the best.
Alyssa - 07/13/2019
I started at Alvin Community college the fall of 2016. From the registration process to financial aid all advisors were very helpful and wait times are not bad during their heavy registration days. They offer activities every week for student and often give free food, drinks, school supplies, and school merchandise during these activities. They try to get students involved. Professors are held to a high standard and I have mostly had a good experience with every professor. I graduated with my Associate of Health Science in December of 2018 and am now in their nursing program. I definitely recommend this school.
Markesha - 06/13/2019
Alvin Community College is a wonderful place they will help you in anyway possible.
karla - 01/24/2019
The school is great and faculty is honestly amazing. So far all the professors I’ve had, have great communication skills as long as you communicate back. Since it is an older college the buildings are all separate and when it rains it easy floods. One other thing I didn’t really like was The Pod program online that was just recently added, it doesn’t make sense to me and others as well question on why we have it
Ashley - 08/31/2018
Good school with a lot of choices in programs. Advisors are very useful and want to help. They offer free entertainment on campus, free tutoring, computer labs and a campus store for anything you may need. Could be beneficial if they had nicer affordable housing for students but no real complaints.
N'Shari - 08/21/2018
I love that Alvin Community College goes out of their way to help you succeed. It doesn't matter whether you have the grades or not, they're looking to better you in any way possible. ACC offers academic programs to make sure you succeed, from tutoring to rehabilitation programs. I hate watched countless times, students being told how lame they were and that they were too dumb to do anything real: ACC is a place of acceptance, and I have watched these same students thrive. This is a college that praises diversity, acknowledges a creative mind, and builds a joyful foundation. You will leave here ready to take on the world and all the challenges thrown your way. My overall opinion of Alvin Community College is Fantastic. It is a safe place to be yourself!
Jasmine - 06/07/2018
Alvin Community College is a great school, I always feel safe and like I belong. The school has very god communication skills and is very helpful through everything professors, counselors and even the campus police. The students there are nice but it all depends on what sort of group you hang out with and where you hang out on campus. The classes are great and pretty decent they understand that you have other classes and that they are not the only classes.
Brenda - 06/01/2018
As an adult student, I appreciate all Alvin Community College has to offer. The hours are flexible and the campus is accessible to my home and my office. The advisors are extremely helpful and informed. My experience at ACC has been positive.
Lauren - 03/26/2018
Very good college just to get basics out of the way! The professors are awesome but the overall vibe for the school is very chill. There’s really not much going on and there’s not much of a student life that is there on campus. The facilities provided are kinda nice as well.
Karalyn - 01/07/2018
Alvin Community College is a great pre-university option, even if they don't offer your major! They currently offer little to no English classes besides the basics, yet I'm still being provided a well rounded education to give myself a head start before heading off to complete my degree. The professors are knowledgeable, the class sizes are fantastic, the campus is comfortable, and the clubs are super accessible! That's not even covering the awesome campus activities, free food, other free goodies, and the cheap price tag for classes compared to big universities. There are a few little things that aren't as great such as the lack of anything to do close by, the lousy G building, and other older looking parts of campus, but that's really just nitpicking. I've enjoyed my time there immensely and look forward to the rest of my time there!
Peyton - 01/06/2018
its a nice place.
Aryn - 08/11/2017
Perfect school for someone trying to go at their own pace and knock off there required courses. Campus is calm and friendly. Perfect study grounds found all along the campus and the FRIENDLIEST STAFF! Whether it be the administrator staff, the ampus police, or even the lunch ladies or book store clerks/coffee baristas!
Carl - 06/20/2017
This college is amazing to me. It may be a community college but it is one of the best. The campus is amazing and always clean. The instructors are available in between their classes. The food is good here as well. There is always a friendly student walking the campus. Everyone is respectful and nice to each other. The academics are amazing here. The instructors teach until you understand what you are being taught.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
If I could go back in time, I would explain about all of the available scholarships and financial aid available for college. I would explain the reasons for going to college and how it will benefit me. The many reasons for going to college would be an education is important to obtain a good career in a field you will enjoy.
Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
My college is dedicated to helping me and my classmates acheived the best education available with upstanding and well educated intructors that care about their students and their success.
As is the case with most communities colleges, ACC has the quaint charm of being personal and small (yet large) enough as to not quell any sort of learning processes.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wished I had known what ACC had to offer. I was young fresh out of high school and had no idea what I wanted to be. That is a good thing about a community college. You can do your core hours while you are trying to figure things out.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
The student who is looking for frat/sorority to join because there arent many...or if any. If someone is looking for certain fields such as Criminal Justice shouldnt go here because it isnt offered. This is a small but credible school that can help with basics for cheap. Also, someone who is looking to live in a big town and find a good paying job while going to school shouldnt go here. Alvin is a small community.
All students must apply yearly for financial aid. This process starts with the FAFSA.
