Eastern Arizona College Reviews

There are small class sizes, cheap tuition, and most classes transfer. The small class sizes really allow the teachers to focus directly on students to ensure their understanding. The tuition is extremely cheap and will allow any college student the opportunity to eat food other than ramen. The fact that many of the core classes transfer over to other colleges is a god send. Before you go to a university go to a community college first!

If you are looking to complete prerequisites, look no further. Eastern Arizona College is the college for you. As it is the cheapest community college in Arizona, you cannot go wrong with the instructors, student life and experience. It has a amazing and beautiful campus with everything within walking distance. But the best part about the college is the instructors. It was so nice to be in a class room where you weren't just a number you were a person; rather than being at a university. The instructors cared about you and wanted you to succeed. Also, every single one of my credits tranferred from EAC to the school I am going to now for Dental Hygiene. I would recommend this school to anyone!
The class sizes are great! Some classes can have 5 students and other classes up to 50 students. The professors here, most of them, are great professors. Students can tell that the professors care for each individual student and want them to succeed. There are so many different classes students can take here at Eastern Arizona College. World of Music, World of Art, Human Anatomy, Biology, Chemistry, English, Gym classes. There are so many classes that EAC offers to students!
