Admissions

Don't forget you ARE going to be at a community college. The social life is the pits. But the learning enviroment is great. Everyone is there for the degree and wants to learn.

I would definitely suggest any students in the Austin area to go to ACC for the first two years before transferring to a 4 year college. You will save thousands of dollars in the long run.

For any prospective students, asking others about professors and classes is best instead of finding out in class. Also, toughing it out for some courses is what you need, and that can go for any college or university. I always find myself disappointed in foreign language courses when the class dissipates because they find it too hard; there are tutors and other classmates willing to help!

The best tip I can give is to sign up early for your classes! You're not the only one that is taking advantage of this great institution therefore the classes will go quickly; well the ones with the best times that is. Also, stay organized. Organizing all of your paperwork will be a big help to you. It will keep your payment deadlines, schedule, etc. much easier to keep track of and be a lot less stressful for you in the end. Finally, good luck and have fun in college!

Never stop learning. It is important to remember that college isn't all work and no play. ACC has several programs for students looking for clean and wholesome fun!

Sign up for the Honors Program classes! It's easy to get in. The work is actually easier than standard classes. The classes are limited to a max of 15 students and they go further into detail about the given subject matter.

attend orientations, be prepared and take part in study groups whenever possible.

Visit with advisers, tour the campuses and register as soon as you possibly can!

If you haven't decided what you want to do, or where to go, then taking your core classes at ACC is a pretty good idea. While you think about what you want to do with your life, you can make steady progress towards that goal without even realizing it.
