Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I am learning a lot in my classes and a lot about my college experience in general. Everyone it really helpful and the teachers are great!
Am enjoying being here College is a lot different than high school and I enjoy being in a classroom where people want to learn, not just there because they have to be.
Bang for the buck A-B Tech is cheaper than UNC and other schools I have checked into around here by about 50 dollars a credit. By paying less I am also getting the education I need and I know if i transfer to a University I will be on the same academic level in classes as the other students.
Tips for prospective students Talk to financial aid and your adviser early so you can register when you're ready. The advisers are really good at helping you set up a plan, and none of them will push you to take too many classes.
Great for these types of students A-B Tech is great for students who need a flexible schedule. I took their 4 week English 111 class and it was a real time saver. The instructors and advisers are willing to work with you when you can be on campus instead of making you come in on a day you don't have classes.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Excellent Community College that is accredited with all NC state Universities. The professors are compassionate and innovative. Tutoring services are free and flexible.
Tips for prospective students Take ACA (study skills class and req for most degrees), COM 231 (public speaking class also req), and CIS 110 (Intro to computers but will help you master your power point, word, excell skills and you get a math credit) your first semester. This will get you off to a great start for the skills you will need to master the rest of your classes.
Academic Rigor The classes are intense and a good prep for a four year university. However, the professors will work with you if you have kids or work full time, or having difficulty comprehending material.
Dorm Life There is no dorm at AB Tech. But lots of opportunity for roommate situations posted all over campus.
Food and Dining Cafeteria makes great food and there is a variety that meets everyone's needs.
What to do for fun Lots of campus activities, but in general, Asheville is just a great place to live. Downtown has lots of culture and free activities, plus you are surrounded by mountains.
Bang for the buck Affordable and Classes transferable. Knowledgable advisors.
