    The professors at Alvin are all really good! They definitely care about each student and help them to succeed. Plus there are tons of events on campus each month and a few different organizations to get involved in. Overall, this was a great place to spend my first year of college.

    Although I did not directly attend ACC, I was a part of their dual credit classes through Alvin High School. All the professors are very understanding and work well with the students. This was very helpful as a high school student attending college classes because it allowed me to adjust to the fast pace without worrying too much. I would recommend ACC to those wanting a friendly community and friendly professors.
    I moved to Alvin with my husband specifically so I could attend Alvin Community College for their Associate Degree of Nursing program. They have a 95 percent pass rate and are highly respected in the healthcare community here and I wanted the very best education. My experience was absolutely wonderful. The curriculum was great, the professors were awesome and our director truly advocated for us and made sure that we had the very best education. I loved how respectful the professors were and they always put us first. I would do it again in a heart beat.
