I'm from the Suburbs, but I have to attend this community college in the city. Even though the students are unapproachable, it comes with the area. The library is packed with city kids from 3pm to 6pm using all the computers. They have no activities except a small gym. Everyone in the city wants to be a top-notch Nurse, so people aren't diverse. I came here to complete my pre-reqs. I have gotten accepted to 5 Tier I State Universities, and I only thank the teachers. Most of the teachers are laid back and willing to work with you if you hold your grade 90% or above. I am sadisfied, and glad to be leaving all the close-minded city kids.:o)

I graduated from RN nursing program. I felt the program prepard me very well to take the nursing boards. I passed on first try as well as most of my classmates. The program wes very difficult and you must must be very self disciplined to succeed. I gaduated in 2000 so the program may have changed by now. I was a student in my early 30's,married with two young children and also working part time.This was not an easy thing to do. I am grateful for the education I received at RACC. I am currently employed in my field and have been since graduating.
My son will be starting at RACC this year and I feel good about the education he will receive while there.

RACC is an excellent college for what it attempts to due, namely help those with either limited financial resources or those who are not yyet ready to go to a four year institution. It probably is not possible to find a better deal for the money, and the faculty and staff work very hard to give the best education possible with the limited resources. Students here are incredibly diverse, ranging from teenaged "headstart to college" white kids, to latino grandmothers that have chosen to go back to school after having raised two generations. Virtually every person that you meet is in some way amazingly unique. Furthermore, the student body frequently holds down full-time jobs and supports families, so the workloads that many of the students here carry is phenomenal. Because of this, however, there is very little social life, since many of the students are too frazzled to expend even more energy on clubs, etc. There are no parties whatsoever.
The faculty here is forced to do a lot with little. Since many of the students are attending college for the first time, frequenly with over thirty years since high school, RACC must work both as a college and a high school. Basic reading and math classes are available, which brings those who have forgotten some of their basic skills up to college level. RACC is also very supportive of its students, and knows that many of them are simply to busy to handle the full college load.
In short, RACC does an excellent job for what it is. My only complaint is that many of the classes are boring and overly easy. Finally, I'd like to add that the reason I rated RACC as I did is because I was comparing it with four year institutions with vastly greater resources.
