My opinion of Austin Community College is that its a very great college. There are a variety of majors you can choose. They work with high schools to get associates degrees and dual credit. Its a very safe environment and are always there when needed. If work is unable to get done at home such as technology or any help, they offer it.

Reanza - 11/21/2024

I enjoy the campuses that they have and the student involvement at each campus is amazing. Everything is affordable and the professors actually want you to understand the content so whenever you transfer to a university, you will feel ahead and understand the courses

Juan - 11/20/2024

Arriving in Austin, I stood in my first-ever room, bare, with a scent of clean sheets. Unsure of my next steps, I held my only memorabilia from Miami, my The Weeknd vinyl. I felt a familiar discomfort I’d experienced with my mom before—this time, I wasn’t just moving studio apartments. However, I knew I shouldn’t dwell on it; I had to commit! Dismissing fear, I was enrolled in the closest school near me. But a particular detail stood out: Lyndon B. Johnson, Early College High School. Intrigued, I researched the Early College program, but the results only yielded unclear information. Still, I didn’t let this hinder my curiosity! Within a few weeks, I noticed a pattern: Students would leave on the rumored early college bus during lunch, returning two hours later with the same kids. With this, I took the fine line between wonder and risk. I boarded the bus—unnoticed—transporting me to Austin Community College’s Highland Campus. Amazed by the atmosphere and diversity of students—age, and race, I knew I couldn’t let this opportunity pass me by. I talked with my counselor and signed up for the program. After a semester of waiting, hardly containing my excitement, I attended my first class and I loved it—finally, a room full of scholars, all striving for one goal: to learn! It was an environment unlike any I’d seen before. While high school students were left accumulating eight hours of screentime on their phones, I navigated the new college halls, marking nooks for future study sessions. However, I’m now approaching the final days of boarding this bus. But as I did by taking risks from Miami to Austin and LBJ to ACC, I’m ready to take on the future, validated by the graduation balloons in one hand, and my Associate’s Degree in the other.

leabella - 10/07/2024

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my college, and my professors are out of this world, I just wish we had access to more here. A club here and there would be nice, except for the fact that we have no clubs at all. There no creative freedom on campus and it just seems so controlled. It does not feel like a real college at all but like a looser high school experience.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I wish I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior. While I was in high school, I had no intention to college. During my junior and senior year I skipped and left school a lot. At the end of my senior year I thought about going to college, but I feel that choosing a college and deciding what you want to go to school for is a pretty major decision, so I decided to take a year off to decide what type of school would be best for me and what kind of career I?d like to have. I've learned from other people's experiences that college is mandatory if you want to have a good life for you and your family. If I could go back in time and talk to myself in high school I?d tell myself to make to make good decisions, not to skip school, go to college, and to do the best I possibly can to increase my chances for academic scholarships.

  3. Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.

    Austin Community College is a wonderful place for several reasons, 1) So far all of my teachers have been very gracious, yet firm and capable to instruct. 2) Many of the courses offered can be transferred to Texas State and other colleges that a local would be interested in. 3) Although being a community college, it is well respected in my experience as a school and not a joke like other community colleges I have encountered. I am very pleased with where my chips have landed for the meantime.

  4. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    It's hard for me to think of the worst thing about my school, but the thing I have had the hardest time with is the financial aid system. Most of this is actually administered by the department of education, however each school is responsible for their own requirements as well. The way my school handles this department has not made it easy for students to discuss their options for financial aid, nor have they promoted scholarships that are available very well.

  5. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The most agitating thing about my college would have to be the diversified yet solidified nature of the student body. In terms of demographic, the school has it all: old, young, foreign and native. It's beautiful to experience such a range of human being. The solidity I speak of reflects the inner person. The mindset seems to be so young. Liberation is a mere four-syllable word with no representation. Pompous as it might seem, I simply feel highly aware of this conformity. So what else is a guy to do but go to class, pay attention, and smile.

  12. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    My school has an exceptional photography program. We are taught with the latest technology, and the professors constantly stay abreast of changes in digital photography, as well as the image processing software that is available. I'm confident he program will truly get me ready to go out into the real world and work for myself as a photographer. Other schools I checked out simply did not offer this caliber of education - especially for a community college.

    I have been at ACC for 3.5 years (2 years of dual-credit, and a year and a half of my post-grad) and it has been nothing but a positive experience. ACC is full of wonderful, loving professors and faculty who for the most part, genuinely want you to succeed. I truly feel like I have received a quality education, and I am well prepared to transfer to a 4-year university to finish my undergraduate. This really is a college that wants to help you achieve your goals.

  17. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

    poor working class kids who didn't do well in high school. The stereo type is somewhat accurate, Group projects are incredibly difficult when everyone doesn't have the same passion for education and good grades as you do. I don't settle for Bs and Cs and that seems to be the common mindset here, Get a 2.5 and transfer to TSU
