Going into AB-Tech I expected the obvious from a local community college: basically meaning nothing special, and probably borderline facilities and marginal availability of programs, services, and student centers such as libraries, career centers, advising staff, etc. To my great surprise, AB-Tech has met or exceeded my expectations of what a community college should be. There are a few things that could be made better about the college but overall it's a good place to start out a college program, or if you're looking for an associate's degree/certification it's a good place to go for that. Tuition is a little high for a community 2-year college, and the bookstore is incredibly expensive (I know, not the college's fault since publishers rip people off basically), but this place offers a lot of good programs that students can benefit from. The only issue I have heard about a few times, but cannot really personally vouch for, is that some of the teaching staff is a little lacking in creativity.
