申请点评

The resources on campus are limited. There is a wide range of incomes and ages, for this reason the school's resources are usually used until they are non-available because of overuse or nonexistent because they have been exhausted.*(3)
Campus has many quite study spots, and it has a lot of space in those places. American River also has many lawns so it relaxes you during the day.*(3)
The dance and business departments have a few select teacher that take interest in their students. Workload is always manageable, I'm able to manage upwards of 15 units each semester. The facilities need some improvement, but the theater just got beautifully redone, and there are additions happening this semester to other locations on campus. Jobs and internships are only present if you ask or search them out.*(4)
I've loved all but two of my professors in 4 semesters. They've had great personalities, love of their field, held their students accountable, and made learn apply to real-world situations. I have to say it's either a really awesome instructor or a dud, you just have to make the most of it. *(4)
