I’ve been going to CCAC for 3 semesters now to pursue an associates degree in psychology and Education and it’s been great so far! I really feel like the professors at CCAC are here to teach you something and they will help you to get through all of your struggles. The professors I had always have been understanding of any problems that came up and they were very approachable. I’m glad to have chosen this college as an affordable start before transferring to a 4 year institution. CCAC also offers a variety of clubs and activities that’s are fun to explore. I’m part of the World Cultures Club and we’re going to hold a global food and dance festival this coming April, which will feature dancers from Thailand, eastern countries, and Africa while enjoying over 60 food options from across the world.
I absolutely love the Community College of Allegheny County. I had received my associates degree at the South Campus and all of my teachers were extremely helpful. They want you to learn and will help you get there no matter what. I then continued on to complete my bachelors degree at California University of Pennsylvania. I enjoyed CCAC much more because it was more one on one time and I felt like the teachers wanted to see you succeed and found ways to make that happen. I have just completed my pre requisites for the Radiology program at CCAC because I had a career change and I am now at the North campus. I have continued to see the teachers make you feel like you matter and encourage you in so many ways. I will also be attending the Boyce campus of CCAC coming next fall and I’m sure the teachers will be just as helpful. It is also extremely nice that there are different campus for you to go to and a lot of options for different classes!
I like that its different than a traditional school. I think that education is often lost on younger people. Lots of people go back to school and train for something new in their life, so why does the standard have to be young people getting degrees? I think that young people should feel more free to explore the world and try new things before committing to an education that is costing them a lot of money and is a large time commitment. We have all the time in the world to figure out what we want to do. I think that the school could be more organized. It seems like a lot of the navigation needs to be done by the students themselves. While there's nothing wrong with having to do things yourself, having more guidance would make it easier for students while they focus on their studies.
