My experience at AC was great because of the people I met there. The friends I made, my on-campus job and some of my professors were truly worthwhile! However, the rigor, competition and outright favoritism of some professors make this school a challenge is your looking to compete in Pre-med. Overall, I've seen worse and better schools and ended up transferring for various reasons, but don't regret my time at AC.
Austin College takes academics very seriously and the classes can be very challenging. However, I was able to play football while attending and completed the pre-med prerequisites while majoring in psychology. Even though I was pre-med the whole way through, I decided to go to law school and the rigor of the Austin College classes has prepared me greatly for all the challenges that I have faced.
I have loved the school since my first tour. The student faculty and staff are so welcoming and are always sure to great you with a warm smile. The professors a re amazing and they definitely know what they are talking about. They have office hours where you can go in with any questions and they will be happy to help. They only thing I would like to see change are the dorms, maybe a little renovations. They are a bit old but they aren't anything you can handle or jazz up.
