Reviews of Anne Arundel Community College (School)

Joseph Smith

Best Community College. The experience, the teachers, the staff, the students, and all the clubs makes this a college experience of all ages. It's never too late to go to school.Professors from universities make this a university education at a fraction of the price. Check out the pool and gym.

Kat Smit

Peaceful environment. I always love and proud to be student of aacc. Only one thing sometimes we feel they don't have enough parking!

J Kosmides

I really enjoy working out at the track on summertime weekends. It's a great place to walk or jog, plus you can do stairs on the bleachers or walk around the campus. My kids take summer and winter classes here as well so an all around great and friendly asset to the community.

Andy Spangler

Great class in stand up paddle board yoga

Das Malk

Great school, great teachers. I definitely am coming back here for more classes when i have time

Steven Hoodikoff

Great college because of the content and price. It's very cheap to take classes here, they are generous with financial aid, and they have tons of student resources which are all free. All 4 professors I have had are great. This is a great place to start off your college education.

I enrolled at AACC as an adult pursuing a 2nd degree. I've been very impressed with the quality of the faculty, staff and education. Some of the profs in my lower level courses (cyber security major) needed some help with organization, but for the courses that really matter, the faculty have been absolutely top notch. My wife started here and transferred to UMUC, and firmly believes she learned much more from AACC.

I attend school here January 2018 - Present waited a few months to give an honest review. I was extremely lost this being my first college experience.. I went to take my placement tests at the GBTC testing area after I finished I spoke to an advisor. She told me i had to take a certain placement and I quote "I expect you to fail miserably" and she is supposed to be an advisor, just disrespectful and unhelpful! My professors are the only reason this review has these three stars they are wonderful, informative, and want you to succeed. They have 3 separate campuses which now I dislike. People say it isn't that far but with all the traffic just tedious going from one college to the other. I'm considering transferring to a different school after this. Dont expect to get a full college experience you will definitely feel like youre on your own.

I was going to try and enroll in the Sterile Processing program. After attending an info session, I emailed Tammy Valko who was rude and unhelpful, and also I never received response from the email to the Veterans office. I'm not sure how this is a top rated Community College with the communication as lacking and unprofessional as it is.

Just got my 1st covid shot. It ran real smooth at aacc

We worked there. So yeah we helped build for the kids of the future.

Carmen Wright

I had a very dissapointing experience and first impression of this college. We were told advising is walking from 9 to 1pm just a day prior and after driving an hr to get there at 11:20am , I was told they stopped taking students at 11 am. The woman at the advising front desk was insensetive,dismissive and did not care to hear anything. What a poor way to welcome someone who was there for the first time.

Cheryl Sollars

I love Anne Arundel Community College. I am a returning student back in school to get a teaching certificate, and I've had a great experience. The classes are small and the teachers are attentive. I already have a BA in Journalism and did all four years at the same college, but had I known what a good school AACC is, I would have started here.

Kyle Voelker

The campus, administration and professors are amazing!

Medicinal Amethyst

Highly regarded institution, good overall quality of instructors, wide variety of online, night/weekend courses for adult students, and cheap!

Jason b

Decent school

Kevin Reeder

Good continuing education programs, I took the hvac courses it was awesome

Ethan

A very nice campus, though I have limited experience. Pleasant staff.

Paul Van Epps

10/10 would learn again.

Valarie Hamby

Went there for all my vaccines and booster!!

Ashley Angel-Lewis

The staff are not as knowledgeable as they should be in order to help the students. I called financial aid today and the first woman could not help me whatsoever. I was on hold for another 40 mins before someone picked up the phone to assist me.

Indica Nonya

Not the brightest staff, they don't seem professional and don't care about students needs especially if you want to transfer to a better school!

Hunter Michelle

Staff help you out so much. You just have to be smart enough to ask for help from the professors. But the activities are lacking and I wish it felt like a community rather than you by yourself.

Shaun Ogo

Altogether, I would give a 4.5 rating. The only bad experience I have had was when I first went to admissions at the Arundel Mills location and had the worst experience. The ladies were rude at the front desk and assumed that I speak "admissions or college" terms as a person who has never attended college before. And when I asked questions, two of them at the front would show facial expressions of irritation which made me feel uncomfortable. So, unfortunately they are the painted faces of the school. Other than that, since I have been attending classes for 2 semesters, the professors are great and help whenever and wherever help is needed.

Easy to do all the process to open your world

John Park

I enjoyed getting my Associates degree here. About to receive my BS degree. Best decision I made was starting at AACC. Great place to be!

Andres Flores

This is an excellent CC for your kids to begin their education. The area is reputable and their is police present throughout the college to make sure your kids are safe entering and exiting each building. There are plenty of career choices and continuing education for adults as well. Also, it is a cost effective alternative to some of the pricier CC's in the area. A big plus about Anne Arundel CC was their COVID vaccination procedures. It is quick and efficient, you are in and out with your vaccination with little wait.

This is my 1st year at AACC (Anne Arundel Community College). After, I graduated in High School

BRANDY Grim

Really enjoy attending this school.

Andrew Taylor

The teachers treat you like crap.

T Corr

I’m taking a workshop and love the class. The campus is modern.

Nicholas (Nicklas)

I have friends who have been to big universities and come back to AACC talking about the tight nit easy to reach professors. The small classrooms make a difference. I've had far more excellent professors than average ones. It's nursing program is extremely tough but in state hiring from AACC nursings students are very high. We come out strong.

Scott Phillips

Quality experience so far. Helpful staff and nice classrooms.

Cam

Baseball field has a lot to be desired.

I've been an international student at AACC for a year now. Emma Thompson, responsible for international students, is phenomenal and made everything so easy for me to study here in the United States! She is very communicative and remembers everyone including their names. 9.5/10 times the advisors will always give you the best advise, and show you the right direction for your career path. The Arnold campus' gym and pool is on point. AACC offers a 7 to 1 ratio in classes, which means seven students to one teacher. My biggest class only had 12 students. My teachers were knowledgeable, interactive, and helpful. I've only had a problem with one teacher. For my computer science information class during the Spring 2015 term I had Professor Penny Foster. She didn't teach us anything throughout the entire semester and I felt as though I wasted my money on a class I was originally very excited for. On the first day she mentioned she had been teaching the class for 40 years, and that we would be building an entire PC ourselves. Second class she gave us Microsoft Word lessons on Microsoft access, PowerPoint and excel with a chapter project from the book she made us read. I then realized this class wasn't going to be on hardware but on software instead. And indeed it did, this went on throughout the entire semester. Never has she stood in front of the class or had any legitimate answer to anyone's question about the lessons we were doing or on computers. When I did ask questions, she would come to my computer and do the work herself without explaining what she was doing. There where days where she wouldn't show up to our once a week classes, while never telling us when class was canceled. Even though having experienced this awful teacher, this didn't change my opinion of AACC. The students in my class made it worth it as we helped each other learn. Everybody has passed the class due to our study groups. We all strive for success here and our atmosphere is very welcoming! I highly recommend you attend Anne Arundel Community College.

great community college, I learned more there than I learn at my $44,000 per 2 semesters university

Mary Lou Johnson

It's a top notch Community College! Their Student Union has also been a Pfizer Vaccination Facility.... 2nd shot done:)

Paul Charlot

I enjoyed my time at AACC, it was very wonderful. I had great teachers and amazing peers. The campus is nice and growing. My only issue is that they didn't have my major (computer/electrical engineering.) Aside from that, it's a great place to learn and get your education.

Andrew Placek

Took the (non credit) intro motorcycle class here a few years ago. Class was noted as being for novices but instructors were rude and condescending if you were inexperienced. Harped on those returning to riding and talked down to those of us learning the skill for the first time. Didn't matter if we asked a question they felt was juvenile, or struggled with a skill they expected mastery of without practice, their response was always with a tone. Three stars because I am sure the entire institution is not like this, but novice riders wanting to enter the hobby, go elsewhere for the intro course.

Ryan Barney

This is the best community college in the state!

Nathan Jones

Went to visit girlfriend

I attended their Dental Assistant Program and finished the course. But to my disappointment, I felt the course lacked alot of "hands on training.”Knowing what I know now, I would advise others to invest more money into their education and look into a technical school. At least you walk away with a sense of confidence that you'll be able to perform such duties because of the hands on training. Also, finding employment opportunities will be alot easier. After all, that's the goal!

They misplaced my records with someone else with my name & don't know where my record is. So, they were amazed when I took classes I technically wasn't ready for and passed them. Now, I'm sitting here waiting for them to call me with "good" news. Update to above: I called & e-mailed all summer & got nowhere until I was finally able to get in there & talked to the same advisor. They told me "Sorry, couldn't reply been busy. But, we think we got your credits back in order." But told me to redo the placement tests because they don't look right & get a copy of my high school transcripts because they lost them too. I was able to sign up for 2 courses (but they charged me a late fee even though I signed up late because of them & I had to pay $5 for a copy of my high school transcript even though I think AACC should pay that because they lost them.) My favorite repeated line I kept getting for this whole ordeal was "If it makes you feel any better, you're not the first student this has happened to."

Ray Talley

Ex excellent directions easy

Vincent Byczynski

Went two years here back in 1990's, cost was great and I enjoyed going here more than I did at Salisbury State. The teachers were supportive and the class sizes were smaller than a big university. Would recommend to anyone!!!!

Roger Longenbach

Visited to get wife her 1st covid shot.

Traci Boykin

some staff in financial aid and advising are incompetent and they could care less about the students. the classes I've had were fine though.

Thomas Derry

Do not waste your money, incompetent staff and D-class professors. Facilities are awful and old. Faculty only care about paychecks and disregard student body. A joke to higher education.

Jay 1

I had the Worst EXPERIENCE EVER attending AACC.. Coming Fresh out of high school and attending this school all I got was negativity! I would definitely say don't attend They don't even warn you that they will charge you if you miss a day ! Never again!

Bee Hay

I will have to agree with Carmen Wright below. The Caucasian lady at the front desk in Advising was not welcoming, and disengaged. She did appear dismissive and uninterested in answering any questions, and would not offer any suggestions as to what you were asking. She would just stare at you like a deer in headlights. It was very intimidating. I remember thinking that I do not want to attend a college with people like that working in Advising . That is a critical point at the college. I was taken aback by this, as this was my first visit to the college as well. I had heard it was a good college to attend for extensive programs, and couldn't believe they had someone that was this unhelpful representing Advising or the college. On a positive note, the advisor was patient and very helpful. So helpful, that I kept her contact info for future visits. She actually had to come up to the front desk to make sure that I was being taken care of and that all information was relayed correctly, because the lady at the front desk was confusing me and not clear on certain things she was telling me.

Mike Eiser

No sound for the simulcast and the umpires kept getting in a damn way

Seth

The school itself is great but, some of the staff seem like they don't care.

Krishna Antoine

This is my first class at AACC online and it is awful. I originally went to the main campus to be told the wrong hours about advising. Then to be to be locked out of my AACC portal. Now locked out of my textbook. The campus and staff overall are very unorganized and disconnected to real issues on and off campus. I will continue driving 30 minutes to Howard community college :)

Mike S

Good

David Cattano

Nice campus

Kathleen Gallagher

Convenient location and good class selection.

Damaree Dorsey

this place is pretty cool when you get past the arrogant staff and students.

holly lane

Covid vaccine location. Sun building. Fast, professional and easy. Our appointment was 1230. Hardly anyone else there.

Bruce Eichen

Went for covid-19 shot ; no problems

Scott Bell

Most of the professors I've had are not good. I've learned to teach myself.

Strategic Architect

There are some decent teachers, but leaves a lot to be desired. The main issue comes from the working parts of the school such as advising and admissions, you cannot count on these guys to get ANYTHING RIGHT and it doesn't help that I had to retrieve my former records from other schools and to make it worse? They can't be counted on to keep details straight and it feels like they do not care.
