    Honestly, I love the professors here! Most of them really care about the students and want to see them succeed. It is also a great transition from High school and College. My advisor has been great!

    Coastal Alabama Community College is very average and in my opinion, very minimal in every aspect. I go to the Fairhope Campus and much the building are clearly old, yet well-kept to a certain standard. The main campus, Bay Minette, is also pretty mediocre, but better than Fairhope for sure. The instructors are half and half; some are really good at teaching and genuinely want everyone to learn while others just put notes up on the slides and assign due dates and test dates. I would recommend this school to someone who wants just wants a quick degree, but if you want a real education, you’ll have to teach yourself.
    I am a resident of Fairhope, Alabama, and am enrolled at the Fairhope location of Coastal Alabama Community College. I like the fact that it takes me less that ten minutes to drive to class everyday. I also like the fact that the classes are not huge, but they are not too small either. Based on past and present professors, I have had some great ones but I have also had some very disorganized ones. One thing I would like to change is the professors' organizational skills.
