I really enjoy Front Range! The Boulder campus is clean and safe, and I have had a very positive experience with the staff and professors there. There's a decent cafe in the student center. The owner is so nice, and the snacks & coffee are good. I just wish they were open longer!

When I was in high school I was told that I would get "the college feeling" for the college that was right for me. I toured many and never got the feelings andI settled for FRCC. Right away I got the "feelings". The teachers are amazing, the students are accepting. I have yet to have a class I didn't like, and a class I didn't learn from.

Awesome staff at the Welcome Desk. Very knowledgeable. School is well organized and offers a lot, for being a junior college.

Be ready to talk about what you want out of your college career. Do not sign up to classes just to fill your schedule, if you fail it then it stays in your records.

Great campus with good common areas, especially after the recent renovations, which added a lot of character and usable space to the buildings. Internet is good for the most part, but can be slow and spotty at times, and food is decent, but could be a lot better. Safety is extremely good, with campus security, cameras, and strong doors.

Great place to save money, take good classes, and get to know people. Take advantage of this opportunity, it's a great place to be, usually!

All the employees and professors are very helpful and love being here. Very small class sizes allow for personalized help in the classroom. The student services like tutoring and the math and writing lab are very helpful. Classes are challenging but good grades are attainable especially with all the avaliable help.

Go onto the Universities. This school is a joke on so many levels. Don't waste your time unless it is just to pick up a few classes to fill in the universities over-crowded general ed.

Terrible.
Overall 1.6
It is a very small school with 2 buildings and no facilities for exercise, social events, or game room. The tuition keeps going up but the services and the quality of the education does not. I also found it weird that the professors talk about how they make less than minimum wage there. Also, don't even try to take a math class here, you will fail.
