This is a community college, not a university, I expected there to be some ups an downs. My teachers are hit and miss, but I feel even at a university that is still a strong possibility. For a school like this you don't really need the teachers to be stellar, a lot of the work is very doable if you put any kind of effort in, most of the required text alone will tell you everything you need to know about the class.

Now, for a community college there's some amazing things they pull off. There have been noble peace prize winners visit, travel study like the civil rights road trip, community programs that tie into school curriculum...The teachers who do take their jobs seriously will see that you use the coursework set before you be applied in the real world. The campus and environment feels welcoming and of course its cheap to go here.

Now...not everything here runs as smoothly as you hope. The student clinic is barely open and the one time I did go they didn't even have a nurse to help me. The few times I have bee to the cafeteria the cooks didn't have enough food to serve, my first tour of the school the guide didn't know anything about the programs or services and if you need help with tutoring the available people are very limited on what courses they can cover.

I've come to Red Rocks strictly to get my prerequisites out of the way and because I do enjoy learning. I don't make a lot of money and don't have a lot of resources. While I haven't explored everything available to me at Red Rocks I have enjoyed the experience. Coming here does mean teaching yourself to an extent, but it can be beneficial, if anything I wished I enrolled sooner.

Awesome experience with very helpful and kind staff. My favorite interaction was with an advisor named Denis. Even though I was a ball of nervousness he patiently walked me through late registration and gave me all the information and guidance I needed for my fall classes. All while reassuring me and small funny comments to keep me smiling and motivated and put my anxieties to rest!

I have only been an online student but I really had an amazing year with RRCC. I am a mom of two and worried about being able to deal with school with kids but the classes were clearly laid out, very well taught, and manageable.
Advising was always helpful (though getting in is difficult, which is why the 4 stars).
On top of being a great school, I was able to get an amazing scholarship (grades based) to my transfer school because RRCC is apart of Phi Theta Kappa.
I highly recommend this school if you re looking for a good place to start.

Everyone has been super helpful! I am returning to school after a 20 years absence. So you can imagine the process was a bit overwhelming. But as quickly as I have reached out there has been someone from staff guiding me in this process. A big shot out to Kristen Uhland and Scott in financial aide. You guys have helped me put my mind at ease

Not very impressive. I began my second degree studying business here and I found myself underwhelmed by the course work as well as the behavior of the professors and administrators. The mathematics department was particularly disorganized and regularly admitted to using us as guinea pigs for their half structured courses. As someone who has studied both art and business on a college level I can firmly say that college is not necessary for anyone of average or greater intelligence with access to the internet. Don't waste your time here, go live to your fullest potential!

I have been trying to resolve an issue off my record with this community college for over 2 years, I have left countless emails and voicemails to the enrollment services, including Jen Broadwater. I hit my last straw with this school today when I requested a meeting to resolve this issue and got nothing resolved. Their lack of structure and dedication to their jobs has cost me being able to pursue and further my degree. Until this issue is resolved, I would suggest spending your money on another school that cares.

Great school, Fine Woodworkers technical training top notch. Even during this pandemic they have technical classes using hybrid class structure, which may not be the greatest method but it is working.

The teacher are super great! I liked the online curriculum, the accounting is unprofessional. They sent notice to my parents (who I don't live with) that my scholarship was getting cancelled for lack of credits, I got a opportunity at work and had to drop classes. My parents reached out to me letting me know and I reached out and found out that I had a 3k bill due and it was affecting my credit score and my scholarship had been cancelled, I never got notice on my personal email or a phone call. Now I don't have money to take classes next semester, my credit score is down 30 points and i don't have food to eat for a week. I am 19 and you would think a collage would be dedicated to helping set up students for life would have better communication with there students. If I was given more notice I could have had more than 3 days to put together 3k and could have prevented getting the scholarship cancelled
