Pima Community College

I like the Pima is cheap and will allow me to take classes online for less so I can get those credits without having to pay a ton of money and stress about how I will pay it.

I am at the East campus and it is really pretty nice here. I love the library, it is pretty small but it has quite room and a quiet space that I love hanging out at and is a great place to just grind out homework or a few assignments. They also have the learning center in the library where there are tutors at the ready for you whenever you need on any subject that you might be struggling in. There is not a cafeteria but there is a little place that you can get snacks and drinks. They do occasionally have food trucks though which are pretty good and a great source of food to keep you going. Overall its a pretty humble campus and has everything that a student will need in there journey to a successful academic career. One last thing I would like to give a comment on is the student life center. It's a room where there are snacks, games, karaoke, drinks like red bull that are at the ready for any student to use. It's a great place to take a load off and have a little fun.

Very good Community College, gives and offer a ton of opportunities for people that want to study a degree, it offers a bunch of different options to study and if someone wants to continue for a higher level of education like a Bachelor's degree it helps a lot on the cost of the first two years out of 4 that consists a Bachelor's degree

Pima Community College is more than just a community college; it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students. Pima College's dynamic and welcoming community is one of its most distinguishing aspects. I was greeted by a varied collection of students, instructors, and staff from all walks of life the instant I came into campus.

Great college. The professor's are passionate about their subject matter. The facilities are nice. It is a commuter school so you are there to get educated. The school culture is extremely supportive of the students. There are multiple campuses a student can attend. They even have childcare for children 3-5 yr of age if you are a full time student.

I enjoy that I can go back to school and chance a degree in a field I enjoy.I come from a low income family and I am a first generation college student.I have seen my family struggle so I rather struggle now and relax later.Pima has openly a door for me I gave up on a long time ago and I’m so grateful.

Pima community college is a very exciting learning environment in Tucson, Arizona. I learned so much from my professors and met a lot of new people and it’s absolutely a great atmosphere for not just students but the staff. I recommend to those that are in high school to look into this junior college because the school is very intellectual and you would fit right in!

It is definitely a good choice for the price. You won't get so much of the "college experience", but it will get you the degree you need. All of the credits I have taken here transfer very nicely to almost any school. It is a great place to start your college career, but don't expect any of the fluff.

PIma Community College is a great junior college. There are many interesting, welcoming clubs, groups and activities. The academics are also great. There are various fields that allow input, creativity and broad forms of learning. All in all this is a school that I would recommend.

I love Pima Community College it is a great place to start your first college years and later move on to a University. The teachers at Pima are all very accessible and caring when it comes to teaching.I have been lucky enough to never experience anything bad with teachers or the campus overall. I would not change Pima for another college.

As humans, once we establish a bias and conceived notion towards something - it is rather hard thing to undue. Many Americans, likewise, hold tightly to a negative view of community colleges which is often never reconciled. The thoughts run: you are there either because you are academically behind or stupid, you can not afford to attend a real university, or you are simply a lazy individual who has no higher ambition. Sadly, I too held some of these views before becoming a student on a community college. Although the extent of time I have spent here will only last the duration of my gap year, I have truly been made aware of the wealth of knowledge and experience one can gain even at the commonly dubbed, lowly community college. My experience at Pima Community College has been wonderful. The teachers are knowledgeable, patient, intelligent, and willing to invest in students to ensure success. Students from all walks, backgrounds, experiences, and family environments come to attain an education that will ensure stability for the future. Pima offers a wealth of student services including academic counseling, tutoring, a computer lab, lots a great, diverse study space, and adequate staff to assist in any area of learning. Likewise, however, for every area of excellency, there is also some deficiencies. My experience has seen a lack of overall community spirit and extended friendliness. In addition, the cafeteria's hot meal options are rather lacking- I much prefer eating off campus or bringing a meal with me. Unfortunately too, students often receive "timely warnings" concerning violence or potential violence at or around the various campuses which is very disconcerting. I recognize, however, that no college or university will meet every standard and level of excellency and so I give Pima Community College an overall favorable evaluation.

Pima has great opportunities and is a very open place for all ages, races, genders, etc. I don’t feel uncomfortable there and it feels like a safe environment. The teachers are nice and most of the time willing to help. I’ve made some great friends along the way!

It is a great place to get started on your dream. It is really affordable and Pima is extremely proud of their nursing program. the professors are mostly amazing and really take the time to build connections with their students. The environment is quite relaxed.

Pima Community College is where I revived my true self. I was in a hole after graduation like most just out of high school seniors. I took an eight week writing 101 and a math class at Pima because I did not want to invest in more classes without a direction in life. In my writing 101 class the final and eight week long project was creating a memoir book full of essays about yourself. All the contents had to be related to a substantial theme in the student's life. I chose to write about theatre and how it crafted the young woman I become. While writing, my passion for theatre flowed out of my heart like a Niagara Fall of love, friendship and community. I realized acting is what I love and I loved who I was when participating in theatre. In high school I dreamed of going to college for acting, but I felt discouraged by parents, society and a small part of myself. I am my worst critic and my best supporter. Thank you to the writing 101 class for helping me realize I should be investing in my heart and dreams and going to college for acting. I am being my best supporter and I applied to two conservatory colleges in California. I also am holding my own hand and pushing myself to pay for my education by working a graveyard shift, full time job. It is incredible and I am proud of myself for the transition that Pima has erupted in my character. I am on the road, striving to become a role model I wished to have when I was younger. The book final in the writing 101 class had a dedication page which I dedicated to my younger self: "This book is dedicated to my quirky, frenetic, high school drama kid self. Who deserved to understand in the moment that there is a drive within herself and opinions are roadblocks. I applaud her journey because she has manifested the confidence and persistence to tolerate the low expected standards of herself, holding her own hand through life". I am on the way to achieve my life goals and become a characteristically strong minded woman because of the writing 101 class at Pima Community College.

Pima Community College has several great vocational education programs. Many of these programs are nationally recognized and lead to national certifications.
