  • Question

    What is one of the best aspects of Anoka-Ramsey?

    The easy access to all aspects of pursuing my education: knowing that if I have a question or need help, resources and counseling were accessible; opportunities to participate in clubs and senate for every student; and academic helpers and a well-staffed and friendly pool of tutors. Most important to me was the access and ability to communicate with my instructors when I needed extra help or had a scheduling conflict.
