    What originally brought you to Anoka-Ramsey?

    Anoka Ramsey was close to where I was living at the time. It also had the program I was looking for, wonderful scholarship opportunities, small class sizes, friendly faculty and staff, and affordable tuition. 

  • Question

    What would you say is the best aspect of Anoka-Ramsey?

    Answer

    The approachable faculty is the main tribute to my success as a student. I took mostly STEM core classes where the classes were small, but the content could get pretty heavy. Every instructor I had made me feel comfortable visiting their office get help.  It was amazing how many instructors took very complicated concepts and broke it into pieces that I could understand in order for me to put them back together and learn something great.
