Front Range Community College-Larimer Campus

Took online classes this semester, as it was advertised as «convenient for working people and parents, etc…»
Nothing convenient about it. Overly complex submission rules (had one teacher post four links for one assignment, while then stating that there were more instructions we had to look for. Overly elementary subject matter. Lost internet for 5 days. Came back to find out that I missed 2 quizzes and all of my participation points for the duration. They require you to participate in online discussions between 3 – 5 days a week.
Worst money I ever wasted. Want to gamble with your future? Try Blackhawk! Avoid this institution like the plague.

This science department at the FRCC Larimer campus is stellar. It actually prepared me for a masters program. Lots of honors opportunities. Beautiful facility, absolutely INCREDIBLE professors who excel at lecturing and will devote time and creativity to aiding their students in success. They’ve got a really special science department. I am so impressed, it’s just an amazing school. I can’t believe I was able to get that kind of quality education for such an affordable price.

What was the point of an AAS? I already got an AGS and I busted my ass to try to get an AAS my last semester just to get 2 d’s in those required classes to get an AAS? You’re kidding me, my view on conceptual physics is beyond yours and so is my thoughts on coms and teamwork (i’m former military). Half of these classes are of no use, and the ones that were, such as English Comp. II, easily got a B. That’s life for me, I’ve never gotten along with non-​essential classes as they attempt to shove crap down my throat. While relevant basic material is simple garbage in garbage out, these other classes such as Espanol — just learn on your own and download software.
The only thing you need in life is soft skills, work skills, and general knowledge of how the world/​english/​west works. FRCC — you really screwed me over. At least I used my GI bill to get into welding. I am the greatest generation.
My high school teachers will always be more inspirational than any college clown. It really is a circus out there — just go to CSU or some other university — it’s a circus. Get something useful — a welding degree is a great start for me. All this wasting time just to finally find something I’m more passionate about — welding. The welding community is great at FRCC, but that doesn’t take away how much of (about half) a waste of my time (which is money) was.
I can only pray they can help land me into a great welding career, but it shouldn’t be too hard, even on my own. It’s a great trade/​skill to have. I mean, I could have taken these useless classes while in the military, IF, I knew I needed them. We can’t predict the future, but when I’m stressing with the rental, the car, money in general, school assignments and a team I was setup with that essentially failed me in MTE110 with Joyce. Good luck students, but first, don’t let them waste your time and money, discover what you are passionate about. There are other places I could have got into welding at, but FRCC was right where I was from, near my dad in CO. Things don’t always workout, it’s up to the individual student to make a stand in what fuels their education and what should be done to benefit their time at school. like passing with a C or better where you busted your butt.

RECEIVED UNSOLICITED DEBIT CARD FROM HIGHER ONE using the Front Range Community College logo, and the words «important information from Front Range Community College». Be aware of this company’s history;
Colorado is NOT a state that has entered into the settlement agreement for overcharging fees.

Lots of different subjects to explore. The faculty all over campus pride themselves in helping students learn the subject matter to a deep understanding. Plus, there is a lot of student clubs to get involved in.

Great Selection and location. Only wish I didn’t have a two hour limit on computers when plenty of computers were available.

When I went here I was flooded in prerequisites that my high school apparently failed to teach me so I could not get right into English and Math courses that transferred or were even on a college level for quite some time. It is nice they do offer these classes though so you can get yourself where you need to be. This college works closely with CSU (Colorado State University) and many of the college required classes that CSU wants you to complete to get a degree can be done here. So if you need some one on one attention or a smaller classroom setting this college is ideal.
I noticed since I went to school here that the Larimer campus has grown considerably and after picking up a list of courses announced for each semester the list of what is offered here has grown and diversified considerably. Front Range I have fond memories of and I spent many many hours here at the Larimer campus writing papers. In the end I was ready to go to the big university.
One thing that was a pain for me going here was their tuition. For many semesters I paid out of state tuition which was high. I jumped through the hoops and cut through the red tape to become a resident when many other institutions and the government would have considered me a resident long ago. I eventually did get approved which was an ordeal promptly before they raised the age limit as to when you could file for in state tuition.
Despite that I have fond memories of FRCC but I am glad the college years are past me so I could move on with my life.
