    Most of the teachers are great. There are many opportunities to be found here. The counselors are very helpful.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you talk to as many people about your proffesor before taking the classes to make sure they would be a good fit for you.
    Food and Dining

    The food is always good and cheap. The best is that they give out free popcorn and koolaid. For the students that need some extra help they do a food bank every weds.
    What to do for fun

    Play tennis, pool, PS3, go to the go all for free. there is much much more.
    Bang for the buck

    It is great that all of the credits transfer, so I can take two full years towards my Bachelors degree for cheap then transfer to a 4 year school for only 2 years.
    Great for these types of students

    ALL!!
    Clubs and Activities

    There are so many clubs I could not even begin to tell you about all of them. If there is not a club for what you want you can always start one.
    Campus Safety

    There is a police station inside of the school

    Am learning a lot

    So far the classes from what I've seen are pretty laid back, and help for projects is easily found.
    Am enjoying being here

    busy campus and always something to do, if you need work theres the mall near by too.
    Bang for the buck

    well priced compared to other local colleges.
    Tips for prospective students

    apply early for you fafsa early as possible and only use the aide office on saturdays when no ones there.
    Great for these types of students

    students who enjoy flex or rigid schedule, great for both.

    Did learn a lot

    The instructors are all amazing and will help you with almost anything, if you ask. I've had a couple of instructors who really didn't care that much for teaching and I didn't think I was getting what I was paying for.
    Did enjoy being here

    I had to move to Denver to attend Red Rocks and the city environment stressed me out, I'm from a small town. The school always had something going on. Free popcorn most days of the week and sometimes other food too. You can't beat that, especially the ice cream days. The staff is friendly. I met some of the best people.
    Bang for the buck

    It was a great way to start my college education. I recommend community college for everyone before attending a 4-year school, because it is so cheap. The school will give you information about a monthly payment plan, which helps out a lot. You get what you pay for!
    Tips for prospective students

    Online class are more expensive than the actual sit in class. I don't know if it is like that everywhere, but I wish I knew it before hand.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who are not sure what they want to do major/career wise. You can get your basics out of the way.

    Am learning a lot

    I have done the dual credit with Red Rocks, where I recieve college credit but am learning a trait that can get me into the work field asap at Warren Tech (which is on the same campus as RRCC) and I have had such a successful education.
    Am enjoying being here

    I LOVE THE LIBRARY! It's upscale and really nice. Get lunch food and yummy breakfast burritos. Quite and secluded, small class sizes and personal staff.
    Bang for the buck

    Red Rocks has always worked with me and their payments month to month are reasonable. Great small community college to attend to recieve your associates before transfering to another 4 year college. Cheap and they encourage you to apply for COF ( college oppertunity fund ) .

    Tips for prospective students

    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms but across from the school are apartment complexes that many students live in.

    What to do for fun

    The game room has game systems. There is a den with guitar and a big screen monitor. There are ping pong tables, two tv rooms and a gym.
    Bang for the buck

    Red Rocks is a great school. I am 26 years old and work full time, and Red Rocks made it really easy for me to go to school online. I loved all of the classes I took over the last two years and I would recommend every single one of my teachers. I felt that each teacher was passionate about teaching and was very active in engaging students, which I k ow is not always easy. I have found that when I am on a school break, I long to be back in school and I think that part of the reason for this is because Red Rocks is a great school. One more thing I would like to add that I particularly liked about RRCC is the small campus!!
    Tips for prospective students

    When I started at RRCC, I hadnt been in school for over 7 years, and I really had no idea about what to do in order to pursue my new-found educational dreams. Now that I've made it through 2 years at RRCC, I would just like to exhort future students to get all of the information you can regarding your particular academic goals and financial needs. I got all oft school at RRCC paid for through various grants and scholarships. All I had to do was ask and put in some extra effort to apply!
    Academic Rigor

    I would say that Red Rocks is an excellent academic school. To be quite honest, I initially chose RRCC because it was not far from home and it is not as expensive as many other schools. I did not expect the education I received to be as challenging and thorough as it was. I can say that my expectations were far exceeded.
    Dorm Life

    There is no dorm life at RRCC!
    Food and Dining

    I did not eat at this school because I took all online classes ( I highly recommend this!). I must say, however, that when I did visit the school, the food looked and smelled delicious!
    Bang for the buck

    Great education at a really low rate. I was lucky to receive grants and scholarships for all of my schooling here, but if I had had to pay this would not have made a huge financial dent, which is really nice.
    Great for these types of students

    Red Rocks offers a lot of great online classes, so it's perfect for anyone who works or who can't attend classes on campus for various different reasons. If I were a high school student planning to attend college, I would absolutely choose RRCC over any other school in the state, hands down. The most important reasons for this are the low costs and the fact that most high schoolers don't know exactly what they want for a career so it's a good idea to pay as little as possible while getting a great education.
    Campus Safety

    I always felt safe when walking around campus. Every time I was there I saw at least one police officer, which is plenty for a school so small. The school is also in a generally decent area, where most of the neighborhoods are middle-class. Plus, the location is beautiful as it is lose to the mountains!

    A school where the faculty cares about the students. Class sizes are small and tuition is low. This school is a great value when compared to the larger state universities!
    Tips for prospective students

    Assistance is available for anything you can imagine! Just ask. If you need tutoring, academic or personal counseling, study skills improvement or even a job, the school has available resources.
    Academic Rigor

    The rigor is what each individual student makes of their own experience. Some of the math and science courses can be a bit of a challenge, while the liberal arts 100 level classes are definitely much easier than the 200 level ones!
    Food and Dining

    Decent grill and cafeteria. Nothing special but certainly not slop! Don't forget that the bookstore has a variety of food for sale as well.
    What to do for fun

    Play Frisbee Golf, table tennis, pool, or just hang out outside!
    Bang for the buck

    Unbeatable value. This school provides a level of individualized attention which is sadly lacking at most larger schools.
    Great for these types of students

    Non-traditional aged students, and younger students who need to develop academic skills.
    Clubs and Activities

    Lots of them, from artistic to athletic.
