    Am learning a lot

    When i first started out i knew nothing about going to college, but thanks to all the employees at Amarillo College I have learned so much about attending school.

    Am enjoying being here

    I love the atmosphere of Amarillo College, especially in the student activities center. It's a great place to go hang out and relax, with televisions, pool tables and the student government is always looking for different activities to have.

    Bang for the buck

    All of the teachers at Amarillo College are wonderful and super nice. They are so willing to help out every student, and are willing to make time out of class for tutoring, and will do anything to help a student out. They make the learning experience fun!

    Tips for prospective students

    Never register for classes late! It will be very difficult to get the classes you want.

    Great for these types of students

    High school seniors, low income students, continuing education student, students nervous about school

    amarillo college is wonderful. the instructors are engaging and helpful. the classes are challenging, yet interesting.

    Tips for prospective students

    study, study, study. the classes are much more challenging than one expects, but if you read the material, you will do well.

    Academic Rigor

    most of the classes are challenging, therefore keeping a student's mind working, instead of being easy to breeze through. it is never boring, and the classes continuously keep students interest.

    Food and Dining

    there are many vending machines around, but as of late, the cafeteria has been more of a lounge since they took out the food lines.

    What to do for fun

    amarillo college offers a variety of clubs and activities, as well as hosting movie nights and small festivals. all of them are fun, and normally work to accomodate class schedules.

    Bang for the buck

    being a two-year college, it is quite cheap. the books may be somewhat pricy, but it's all worth it when you get that first a in a class.

    Great for these types of students

    students who want challenges in their classes, or many quiet places to study or relax would do well here. also those who are tight on money.

    Campus Safety

    the campus is very safe, though there are the occasional accidents in parking lots. the on-campus police do their job well.
