American River College Reviews
Rating 3.77 out of 5 1,474 reviews
The resources at American River College are pretty good. The transfer pathway from here to UC is well planned, and you can transfer to most UCs with little to no issues. They have the Beaver Cares program which gives food to its students! In addition they have plenty of employment opportunities for students which help them to gain some upward mobility. Safety wise the campus could be better, because bikes often get stolen here and there are some crimes that happen here sparingly. I would also improve the selection of in person classes since there haven't been as many since COVID hit.
This school is amazing for a 2-year start before transferring in your college journey. They have a large selection of classes to choose from for each major. The counseling services are very informative and intuitive. The counselors are driven to make sure you meet your college requirements and goals which ensures you that you will not get lost in your journey. The campus is also a great size and other students are nice to give you directions if you need help trying to find a specific building. There is a police department on campus that you can reach out to when you feel that you need to. For example, there are buttons around the campus that you may push in case of emergency or if you would like an escort to take you to your car if it's dark at night. There are also a number of extra curricular activities including clubs and intercollegiate sports you can choose to participate in. And the courses and supplies are affordable!
What I like about American River College is that even attending this college during the pandemic and entering as a freshman during a scary time I felt welcomed. I felt welcomed through student organizations that organized online zoom student events, movie nights, and educational meetings. The process of attending school was made easy and smooth, their freshman new student program really helped when I first started!
