    This school was very affordable, and convenient. The professors are absolutely amazing, and extremely helpful due to the teacher to student ratio. It was low stress and easy to meet a variety of people in class and on campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    It is very easy to get wrapped up in different jobs and doing various activities even sleeping in and skipping class because this is a 2-year college and the stakes seem low, but this is a real college and how you do in your classes does reflect your work ethic and how well you will do at the next school, so it is important that even though you are not studying at a big university that you still do well in the classes you take here, it is a lesson I had to learn the hard way.
    Academic Rigor

    Many of the classes are relatively easy because most of the classes offered at Anoka-Ramsey are general education requirements. The 2000 level and higher are much, much harder however.
    Dorm Life

    This is a 2-year school so there are no dorms yet.
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria is small but the staff is very friendly and the chef makes fresh food each day. However, it is slightly over priced in my opinion.
    What to do for fun

    Anoka-Ramsey is very right down the street from Riverdale shopping center in Coon Rapids, and next to the Coon Rapids ice Arena, as well as the CR Dam. There are also many events planned by the school so students can always find something to do when not in class.
    Bang for the buck

    Anyone can get a great education and degree from Anoka-Ramsey, and like they say that Anoka-Ramsey has the cheapest tuition in the State and I have seen that this is true.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students that are unsure about what career path they would like to choose. Also great for low income families. Great for anyone that is looking to both work and go to school. I would recommend Anoka-Ramsey for anyone wanting to get a quality education for an affordable price.
    Clubs and Activities

    Currently there are not a big variety of clubs and sports and activities. There are many clubs but not like if you were attending a university.
    Greek Life

    There are no sororities or fraternities.
    Campus Safety

    This is an incredibly safe area. There are very few crimes on campus, there is an elementary school down the street and it is right near wonderful neighborhoods. This school is definitely a very safe school to attend.

    Academic Rigor

    Courses are on the tough side but you learn a lot.
    Dorm Life

    There is no dorm life that I am aware of.

    I find Anoka Ramsey Community College to be rated average. It's a place to get your generals done for cheap. Plus they also offered PSEO for me during my senior year, so that's probably the best thing about it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you ask questions to other students on what type of teacher you're going to have. Sometimes having a teacher who doesn't get into what their teaching and just teach using power point make you not want to show up. Also, make sure you go!
    Academic Rigor

    I feel like it could be a little more challenging in some subjects, and some of the teachers could be more excited and knowledgeable about their classes.
    Dorm Life

    Doesn't offer dorms.
    Food and Dining

    The best part is, is that they have it. It's not the best food and it's expensive.
    What to do for fun

    They do offer a lot of clubs, and there is sports.
    Bang for the buck

    I do like how cheap it is, about two thousand dollars per semester.

    Am learning a lot

    The classes that are given at Anoka Ramsey Community College are as top notch as any university. There is also a lot to do, like the multi-cultural club and psychology club.
    Am enjoying being here

    Since, this college offers PSEO to high school students, there are a lot of juniors and seniors that attend, which I think takes away from the college experience.
    Bang for the buck

    Anoka Ramsey Communtiy College is one of the cheapest colleges in Minnesota.A semester can cost two thousand dollars for 14 credits.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would say go to this to do your generals, so that you do not waste your money at an expensive school. And then just transfer to the college you want to graduate from after your general credis are done.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who want to finish their generals without paying too much for tuition. This college is for students who are looking to stay at home, because it is so close.
