As I work towards becoming a registered nurse, Amarillo College offers an affordable and supportive environment that will allow me to gain the necessary knowledge and hands-on experience to excel in the healthcare field. The college’s well-regarded nursing program provides extensive clinical training, enabling me to apply theoretical concepts in real-world healthcare settings.
Additionally, the smaller class sizes at Amarillo College will provide more personalized instruction and mentorship opportunities from experienced faculty members. This supportive learning environment will help me build confidence in my skills and foster a deeper understanding of patient care. The diverse student body will also offer valuable perspectives, enriching my educational experience and preparing me to work with people from various backgrounds.
Beyond academics, Amarillo College offers numerous resources, including career counseling and networking opportunities. I intend to participate in relevant workshops and student organizations that will further enhance my leadership and communication skills. These experiences will not only strengthen my resume but also equip me with the qualities needed to excel in a fast-paced healthcare environment.

This school is a great community college. I could get the disability accommodations I needed for my classes very quickly. While I am doing a dual degree program in college, the professors are very understanding. They understand that I also have high school classes that I am attending while getting my degree. This college is fantastic for students to learn and earn their degrees.
Anthony
It’s a good college
Lynnet
There is a reason why Amarillo College is one of five top community colleges in the NATION! I absolutely loved Amarillo College. The class sizes are small so your professors really get to know you as a person. There is always something to do or get involved with when reading the college news. Although there is no on-campus living, if you are from Amarillo, commuting to the college does not take more than 15 minutes.
Sadie
I love the college and professors, there always there to help. The professors make sure to help every student, unlike many collages. The classes are small, so it allows students to get extra help from there professors, and a better understanding of the lessons.
Saray
I enjoyed attending Amarillo College after high school. The process from moving into college from high school was extremely smooth and there wasn’t much to worry about. The campus is a good size to get around and advisors, professors, and staff are always available! They always offer events to attend to keep positive vibes going especially during finals.
john
this is a great and cheap school to go to and learn. there are endless opportunities at this school and they offer so many services to help students in school and outside of school too. the teachers are great and always eager to help out anyone if they need help.

I think Amarillo College is a great school. The professors are all there to make sure your going to succeed. They also provide many resources to help you achieve in college. The students are always nice and will help you find a classroom or building if they know where it is. It doesn't hurt that they have a coffee shop on campus.
Myesha
Amarillo College is solely focused on your success to graduation. The materials being learned are difficult to understand, but they are being taught through amazing teachers who take the extra time to make sure there's not one student who doesn't understand. This college has completely went above my expectations in any course matter.
Alex
Amarillo College is a very clean, well structured, and convenient college. Living in a moderately small northern Texas town, I have to admit, we are pretty lucky to have such a nice school built in our city. Amarillo College is in a great location, has a lot of nice shops and places to eat available. The faculty at the school are by far some of the nicest, positive, helpful and encouraging group of staff I've met at any school. Any future student living in Amarillo doesn't have much choice, but should not take AC for granted, and be glad we have such amazing opportunities offered at the school.
Samantha
Amarillo is a wonderful college, its not to small and its not to big either. I would fully recommend going to Amarillo College. They are a smaller college but they have more of the things that other colleges don't have. For example, I am going to college for Mortary science the next college that has that is all the way in Lubbock.
Kylee
I love the campus because it is so easy to get around and enjoy the environment there. The professors always are available during the hours that we would need them to assist us. I also love the safety that this campus provides, there are cameras everywhere making sure that everything is going as smooth as possible.

It is one of the few colleges in Texas that has got your back, the faculty ensures they do everything in their power to help you succeed. The caveat to this institution is the life outside of classes as most students are apathetic of their studies. Furthermore; there are a lot of student activities, but little who partake in them. Despite this however, most students succeed here and find ways to get involved. Overall, Amarillo College provides the students with many opportunities in getting their students into a career or 4 year university. It is an excellent pathway to accomplishing your academic goals.
Whisper
I love Amarillo College. The college faculty is the best and they are very supportive and are there for you when you need it most. Everything that is fun can be done at Amarillo College. You can play games and socialize with friends and this takes place in a place called the burrow and it is full of things to do. It's great. There is always somewhere to relax and get work done.
Francisco
Amarillo college was my first college of choice, a simple community college from a fairly average sized town. It's not because the college was a Harvard level of prestige, which wasn't a bad thing in fact, the reason I choice it was because of the reason above. Amarillo isn't the biggest town, but it's way bigger than Pampa, where I'm from, and Amarillo was the perfect size for me to adjust to what city life would somewhat be like, and that's not to say Amarillo is a bad college, or even a mediocre one. I'd say it's a great college in fact, every professor I've had have been honestly helpful and with good intentions. Amarillo College was the perfect upgrade from the prison that was High School.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Amarillo College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.
What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I love college life. I think it's awsome. If I could go back in time and talk to myself when I was a senior I would tell myself to take high school more seriously. I would try to perfect my music reading and counting instead of thinking I already knew everything. My first day of private clarinet lessons my professor was very unimpressed, but once again I thought I know everything. I practiced only three times a week still thinking I was really good. When midterm came around I was sitting at a "C". I couldn't believe it. I decided that I need to change things. By the end of the semster I was practicing everyday for two hours, that the recommended minimum. I came out of the semester with an "A".
Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
Amarillo College is small, compact, user friendly, and I believe is an amazing way for beginning college students to scope out the intensity of college life.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
The Advisors are always there to help you no matter what the situatuion. The classes are small and the cheaper that most colleges so it makes it affordable for students like me who pay for there class to be able to afford them and get the education I desire.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about Amarillo College would have to be the students. They rarely interact with each other and always stick with their own group. They make the freshmen feel left out.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
I brag about most when I'm talking to my friend is how much fun I have learning and interacting with other students like myself. I try to keep myself involved with the Student Government Association. I always try to incourage my friend to join. My teacher are the best to. They always try to help us understand.
even thought I have has some rough patches with my determination and there dedication I am goin to start this semester with the confidence i need to complete with flying colors. They dont give up on us even when we thinks it is to late.
If the person values smaller classes and more helpful teachers they will thrive here. If the student is just wanting to pass without doing work this is not the right place for them.
