Central Arizona College Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Central Arizona College
- Reviewed on: February 15, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- I have been out of school a while and was nervous to go back, fearing I'd be the oldest student in the world. There are students of all ages and everyone is just so welcoming. They have a great variety of classes to choose from and the small environment makes it a more personal experience with teachers and classmates. I am so glad I listened to my gut and just went for it!
