Additional reviews of academics:

It's fair!
Dr. Hank Wesselmen is an amazing professor. The rest of the ones I had are ok. The school is good for a community college.
Iloved all of my ASL teachers so far, there are just a few I havent takin yet.
i AM GETTN WHERE I NEED TO GO WITH WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER
I have been nothing but impressed with this college. I used to turn up my nose at the mention of community colleges, but this one has changed my mind. The classes are just as advanced, if not more, than those at the 4-year private institution I attended previously. The financial aid department is really on their game and actually seek out the students to help with emails and newsletters.
love this school and the professors.great environment
SOME OF THE PROFESSORS WILL WORK WITH YOU AND THEN YOU HAVE SOME THAT ARE JUST HERE FOR THE MONEY.
great professors and very helpful
They are ok.
there are many free opportunities to get tutoring help at this campus
The professors sucked and didnt seem to want to help me when I needed it.
I wish that the teachers at ARC were required to have teaching credentials.
Some of the best science professors around!
ARC is a wonderful school that is very diverse and student friendly..the faculty is great.
Most of the teachers at ARC are excellent. I haven't encountered too many problems. Most are very good at what they teach, and are approachable and friendly as well. Of course, there are some that I like more than others.

proletariat...
There cool.
Not very involved with the campus. Mostly just there to get their credits and move on.
I know a lot of people who are there, theyseem to be very down to earth,unlike Sierra.
KOOL
I am only a part time student but from what I have seen of the students alot of them seem immature for being in college.
very helpful people
some people are scary.
DECENT
happy and focused
Everybody is so weird.
There are some nice ones, but a lot of them have the "I am right about everything" attitude.
Since it's a community college you get a little bit of everything because pretty much every one is accepted. But I enjoy going to school and enjoy the people I go to school with.
Lots of cliques, have met some good people even as an 'outsider' though. Diverse student body.
diverse
The students were great.
Even though there are major problems on campus with certain hate groups, the majority of the student body is amazing and wonderful.
It's myriad of people.
Distant. Eveyone is either talking on their cell phones or just hanging around their 'click'
all kinds of different students...good and bad
The new student officers are really bias though.
Young
don't really know any of them
I wouldn't say that the student body is totally involved, but there are nice places that you can go within the school to meet new people...particularly in the dance and fitness classes.
amazingly diverse

Additional reviews of faculty:

seem embittered by exposure to rude, lazy students.
I haveliked all of my teachers except my speech teacher, he was a dick.
GOT TO SAY I LOVE THEM
The staff are fine for the most part. It seems like a lot of the students who are doing work study are not quite as competent, but they are there to learn.
great
ALRIGT
Some good teachers, but I have had a few that were just boring or had no compassion.
Faculty isn't bad. They could perk up just a little bit.
Most faculty are very interested in student success and willing to help. Administrators a very busy with a large student body and are of limited help.
ok
Teachers seemed like they were talking to a junior highschooler, yet didnt want to assist me when I needed further instructions.
I REALLY LIKE MY ENGLISH CLASS AND TEACHERS
had a couple of bad professors but the majority of them are awesome
Good people, but again, wish that teaching credentials were required.
Unique and excellent staff.
Good folks
there are good and bad staff..ive had good and bad teachers
Want to see the student succeed.
They are good
The faculty are great at ARC. Very helpful and friendly.
