American River College Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about American River College? Why?

Marissa

The worst part about my school is how close it is to the high school. The transition must seem so easy at first to so many students, but half of the students in my Early Childhood Education class stopped coming or dropped out before the deadline because they thought this class would be like the ones they took in high school and they simply were not prepared. It takes dedication, passion, and intelligence to pass college courses.

The worst thing about my school is how the counseling department deal with students. There are times I have entered in the counseling center and the counselors are so rude, like they do not enjoy their job or life. The counselors theirselves when having an appointment with them, they are very welcoming and they have guided me the right way everytime; however, the way they act when first entering the department they are very rude.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the fact that it interupts my work hours. I moved out and was on my own since before I graduated high school and I had two jobs. I ended up only needing my full-time office job, so I quit my part-time job. During summer, I worked full time and got a raise, but there is no way for me to have classes without interfering with my work schedule. Also, it's difficult to find time for homework given my hectic schedule.

In the past few years, they have cut so many classes at this school that it is nearly impossible to get the courses you need. The deans from two of the departments I dealt with (Fine and Applied Arts and Business and Computer Science) are not responsive. The administration at this school will give you the run around and the counselors here tell you conflicting things about class requirements and transfer requirements - it's up to you to do your own research.

The worst thing about my college is that they don't have a desginated area for smokers. I feel that they should ban it from the school buildings and move it farther out to like the parking lot. It's annoying that I have walk around campus to have to smell all that smoke. It's disgusting and unhealthy and I would very much enjoy a no smoking allowed college to be able to attend.

Since i been at my school for only three weeks now, I would say that I can not get a job on campus because I'm not a full not student.

The worst thing about school is motivating yourself to study. I would rather have fun than study, but I realized that school will pay off in the future even though it might take a lot of my time. Studying for classes are a head-ache, but you will feel accomplished when you understand the subject or assignment.

Michael

The only main complaint I have is same issue thats all over the rest of the sate. The school is way too over crowded due to several four year colleges are not currently taking on new students.

Clayton

People smoke that's about all.
