The staff has made me feel so welcome and helped me succeed, I love CCA and I honestly want to stay forever lol, the professors I have had are awesome and seem to actually care about you succeeding. Would definitely recommend coming here as a stepping stone to a university because college is nothing like high school,but here they help you adjust :)

This school is so underrated. I have been going here for two semesters and I love it. All my teachers have been amazing, they really care about helping you. It's very affordable and the classes are small. The food is great as well.

It's GREAT, and for your first two years, better than a 4-year school. The class sizes give you much more one-on-one time with instructors, and CCA has some really fantastic ones. I got opportunities here I know I wouldn't have as a freshman/sophomore at a 4-year college.

I am a soon-to-be graduated business major at CCA and I felt very supported by the business faculty and administration staff at CCA. Their on-campus locations are very distinct from one another, and a little far. The campus is very diverse (++ :D) and I have made friends here! My advisor changed every semester, so it was hard to plan sometimes.

Not sure where to start. This was my first and possibly my last time attending this school. The science classes are located on another campus, so you have to drive to separate campuses just to take normal classes. The help that is offered you have to set up appointments, which usually have a cut off time. Oh and don't depend on the internet at all.

You get what you paid for and it is dirt cheap.

If you are considering the paralegal program here, I would suggest attending a different school. Most of the instructors were awesome and very talented people. Unfortunately the program coordinator is not. This one fact makes a huge difference in a program like this. Consider Arapahoe Community College for your ABA approved Paralegal progam.

I would not attend this college again.

Community College of Aurora (CCA) is a great first school especially if you are straight out of high school. Aurora Public Schools (APS) offers a program that helped me get two years of education free. I wish this school had more events and had the chance to live on-campus, but I enjoy this college I have enjoyed some of my professors and the staff
