Thomas Hendricks Student at This School - Grad Year 2016
Signing up for the classes you need is super easy. Parking is a nightmare. Quality of instruction is ok for the most part. I'm using ACC to get transfer credits to go to a four-year university, and I think a lot of students find it useful for that.
