I absolutely love Front Range and am so grateful that I got the opportunity to attend classes there. The schools advisors help you choose your classes, register for them, and prepare you to transfer to a university (if you want more than an associates degree). I was the first person in my family to go to college and guidance was really important to me. I only have two classes left before I graduate with my associates and transfer to a university and need to applaud the instructors and staff. Every person I made contact with was knowledgeable, professional, and very kind. The instructors are great at teaching the material and they always answer your questions and even meet with students outside of class if you need extra help. I honestly don't think I would have had a better experience at any other school and am sad to say goodbye in the spring. I will always recommend FRCC to everyone who is looking for a higher education. read more

Paige Griffith is a Psychology teacher with this school, she tends to be so immature and very disrespectful with her students. It's a challenge to try and speak to her because she doesn't explain information very accurately and then gets impatient on top of having a nasty attitude when she responds. Plenty of us witnessed a foreign student trying to speak to her and Paige completely shut her down and made her cry. Says a lot about the school for keeping her after so many negative complaints and concerns. Complete dissatisfaction and disappointment to say the least. read more

Had the misfortune of interacting with Sarah Hunnell yesterday through e-mail, as I had a few questions about the massage program. I simply asked how much the program was & if I could get the certification after attending these classes. I was chastised by her and asked if in the future, I could "compose a more formally-written email, especially given that we have not met." Lol. Ahhh, the irony. I am a 46 year-old with a Master's degree in English, who used to teach college. I do NOT need to be shamed or condescended to about the composition structure of my emails. I also don't think that is a great way to recruit students. I actually almost died several months ago from living in black mold, so I am struggling with chronic health & neurocognitive issues. I am tired & don't feel well. And I am tired of trying to reach a damn human being at these colleges, It's a mess. So, Ms. Hunnell, I hope that makes you feel better, acting like a miserable twa* to total strangers! :) read more

Front Range is a joke and a scam at the same time. Five grand plus giving up 400 hours of free labor to CommonSpirit? UC Health has a paid training program. The staff is horrible as well. I should have started classes fall semester, but an employee quit at Front Range and failed to process the required paperwork I submitted. They knocked me back to winter semester, then scheduled me for training 100 miles from my home. Don't take sterile processing at Front Range. Find a good apprentice or training program. read more

The teachers are a mixed bag. Most classes are completely fluff with the instructors canceling for personal reasons frequently. The online classes are weak at best. The administration is horrible, disorganized, and not coordinated with internal departments. They will never answer a phone. Most departments operate on a email system and do not respond with any useful or pertinent info. The telephone operators have no training and give their best guess when asked a question. They classified me as instate for 2 semesters and suddenly the next semester I was classified as out of state. I had no idea until the bill came out and it was $9000 plus and they denied my the Colorado Opportunity Fund which I qualified for the previous semesters. I have lived in Colorado for 20 years and submitted transcripts from Colorado ( BVSD high school) and CU Boulder as proof at the time of my initial application along with dates I have lived in Colorado. When I want to the cashier, she was no help and gave me an email to contest the residency status. The residency application is long and requires multiple forms of documentation. And they says it will be 30 days before an answer is given. So now I have to pay $9000 (out of state tuition) and will lose my COF grant. of approx( $1500) and will most likely have to pay additional late. fees of $100. This is such disorganized administrative ineptitude. Beware this school is a farce of a higher education organization. read more

If there are other options for taking classes, I would choose those. If you try to dispute a grade, no one will call you back and you have no recourse. Teachers respond days later and upper management does not return phone calls or emails. I would highly suggest another institution. read more

The Teachers here are half baked. Ohh and if you decide to withdraw make sure it actually gets accepted. I went to class for 2 weeks and got charged for the full semester. This place is a joke go somewhere else. read more

The third attempt to take some simple computer classes and it is unfortunate that this is the only college close to me that offers it. The whole experience has been next to impossible. The staff (the ones that are students) are NOT helpful at all. You would think they could offer SOME questions but they can not. They are not even willing to look up a class time for you. The "advisors" know nothing about career paths and what classes are helpful. read more

Every time I have tried to connect with people at this institution either to help a student or to take some sort of information technology course, I have found the people there to be elusive and they do not return calls too often. They seem to think they are more important then the people who call them. I can tell you one thing, the people who teach there couldn't even get into the programs where I have taught. I find their academics to be totally infantile and their arrogance to be over the top. This is a bad combination. read more

I like to give this college one star. Every professor in this college has their own style and system. They are all picky and demanding and they will overwhelm you with assignments, discussion boards, quizzes, essays, reading, and exams every single week. I am not kidding. Their remote and online classes are every worse. Very rude staff. Stay away from this college. read more

I attended a conference here, so my knowledge of what the school's standing in the community are, or what their academic standing is, are both unknowns to me. However, what was very clear was the amazing building we were in, which was expansive, new, clean, and very welcoming. This building was staffed by some of the friendliest people I have met in the educations community, which is where I work. They were, each one of them, great and went out of their way to accommodate us. I was so impressed with the place that I talked with a few students about their satisfaction with it and, of course, got stellar responses. This appears to be a real jewel in the community! read more

The college is decent from the outside and inside, but the teachers aren't. You have to be disabled to get any accommodations at this college. If you struggle with English as your second language, good luck. They won't give a damn. The only thing that all colleges and universities care about is money. My niece goes to this school and she can't read or write English very well and she is learning to. It's hard for her to understand the big words and she is having trouble, but do the teachers care, hell no. There is also another problem that we face. Some of the professors at this college doesn't want to communicate with you that well. If you e-mail them regarding an issue with the chapters of the book or the assignment, they won't get back to you for another few days or a week. By the time they do your homework or your quiz is messed up or you failed it, because you studied the wrong chapter that wasn't supposed to be on the test in the first place. We got the run around going from one problem to another regarding the professors and how to go on about with the next step. read more

As an outsider who never went to this school, I can't vouch either way whether the academics of this place are good or not. Instead, I took the LSAT here last October, and upon entering the place I was surprised by how much this place felt like high school, except bigger. It had color coded hallways on the cheap painted cement blocks and numbers showing where you are in the great basement walkways. I'm not claustrophobic, but I can see how in this place you could get that way...seeing as how there were few windows to the outside world found anywhere. The classrooms were full of long tables with uncomfortable chairs and nasty fluorescent lighting everywhere. Yuck. Come to CU, whether it be in Boulder or Denver kiddies...that's my advice. read more

Front Range Community College - http://fcgov.com/electric/harmonylib/images/frontrange.gif - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

Terrible. They will charge you and exorbitant amount of money for a pharmacy tech or paralegal certificate only for you to find out you don't even need one to get a job in the field starting at the same rate someone with no certification gets. The classes are also incredibly demeaning and a waste of time. I had a whole 2 our class once watching cartoons on YouTube about "dos and don'ts" for job interviews. The instructors clearly don't value your time or money, the online classes are poorly directed and access to the online materials on them is incredibly confusing. I have nothing good to say about this school at all, it is a scam. read more

Community colleges provide a great service: your first two years at a drastically reduced price. I was also surprised to find that folks like me who already have a degree, but take an evening class for personal interest, can still take advantage of the Colorado Opportunity Fund stipend. I'm learning a lot from a great instructor. My daughter has generally had good luck with her instructors, or has been able to run to the drop/add page when faced with the occasional bad egg. She's saving me a ton and making great progress towards an eventual university degree. read more

This college was pretty disappointing to me. I payed a lot of money compared to other community colleges I have attended for some pretty low grade classes. To be fair, my classes were during COVID so I think having a lot of things online has made it difficult to really learn in a deeper way. I felt like my professor did not prioritize the class and that the feeling around it was pretty lax. read more

This my fourth semester here I'm getting a great education without breaking the bank. The classrooms are small and very diverse as a 30-year-old this is important to me. The campus is better then most community colleges. They have an awesome gym, game room, athletic center, coffee shop and store. The cafe is big with plenty of you to eat and study! read more

Front Range Community College - Student life - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

This school is really great, very disablity friendly which is rare in colleges. Great staff and not too large class sizes. Sadly people at the social other students don't seem to be as friendly or eager to meet or make friendships of others, even though there is a diverse campus. I do wish people were disablisty open to friendships but I have noticed this among other places beside this school. But the school is great. read more

All of the reviews on here talk mainly about the cost efficiency of attending this school. Not all people go here because it's cheaper- so it's not realistic to say "go to cu / csu." I attend the Longmont location because I work, I am a young mother (20) and enjoy having a personal life OUTSIDE of school. I am taking pre requisites for a health program that I will attend at another school later on. Overall my experience at this school has been good. Other than a couple of teachers 1) english teacher was a big big ... "brat". Power tripping, trying to control every student to the best of her ability. 2) Had a bio teacher that seemed lazy lazy lazy, and a new bio teacher this semester that is even lazier! Who knew it could get worse.... As far as course work goes I feel like I am getting a great education and the case material is difficult- definitely do not think it's easier than a university would be. Also have had some wonderful teachers, really enjoyed the classes. read more

I can't even believe this school is still operational with how they run things. Today is the first day of summer classes and one of my classes still hasn't even decided what day it is going to be on. My other class was an online class, until this morning where it is now supposedly an in person class. With all of this disorganization, im not even sure how this school functions. Ive attended for 4 semesters and still have a 4.0 GPA, but the amount of hoops Ive had to jump through to do other peoples jobs for them is insane. Going to this school was the worst decision of my life so far. read more

Front Range Community College in Westminster is a decent college to get your pre-requisite credits. The resources they provide are adequate for your classes, like a large library, computer labs throughout the campus and plenty of parking. The cafeteria is large and there is always enough room to grab a seat. I especially like that they have filtered water to fill your water bottle! I know that sounds nerdy, but I appreciate fresh filtered water. On another note, it seems like they spent their money to make the front and welcome center of the college look nice, but in the basement classrooms, the tiled floors are run down and the furniture is old. read more

Front Range Community College - Computer lab - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

Worst school ever. You can go to UNC for about the same amount of money and higher education. This was the worst decision I've ever made going to this school. They've made up fees on my account for books I've never rented. Teachers are awful and unprofessional. Do not waste your time or energy with this school. read more

I went to front range to get some minor classes out of the way for my degree. They were a good school until covid hit. Then they all of a sudden shut down. I completely understand how difficult times like that became, but they charged me late fees. I could not get ahold of a single person in either financial aid or the cashier's office to help me get my balance paid for over a month. It's was only $200 so it wasn't like I couldn't pay it. I just could not get anybody to help me and they punished me for it. Once I did get ahold of someone, they were pretty rude and did not work with me. What kind of school doesn't care about their students? I guess I will just have to go to red rocks for my education needs because i can't work with a place that won't work with me. read more

This "college" is a total scam. After paying $1200 for one online class I had problem after problem. I didn't have access to the lessons, only homework and tests, with no instruction. I tried multiple times to contact the professor for help. Silence- never an answer. I contacted the school, jumped through their hoops, then finally decided to withdraw since at this point I was too at behind to catch up. They took my money and refused a refund since it was past the drop date. I filed for extenuating circumstances, gave them proof of all my efforts to try to take this class and they denied it. I don't recommend taking classes, on line or in the classroom here at FRCC. It is truly a scam. Next step, small claims court. What a pain this has been! read more

I am giving this review because I lost a few thousand dollars to them after having a life changing circumstance that caused me to have to relocate and not have the money, or time, to finish a course. When I tried to explain this to them, including evidence of event, and that I would not be able to afford the class and the bill they were sending me all I got in response was "You dropped the class a few days after the deadline. There are no circumstances where we will refund you." So, while this may not apply to many people, I can't agree that even a death in a family or any other life changing event is still not good enough reason for the college to be willing to refund, or even just drop a payment, for any student. I will say the teachers are usually very nice. However, I am not okay with the College's overall greed. read more

Worst customer service ever. If you are trying to find out where to go, who to speak with, or who to give documentation to, it's a lost case. I have had a hold on my account because I needed to provide a document so I took a day off of work to take care of it and meet with an advisor as well, 30 days later that hold is still on my account and the CSR in the financial aid office was no help at all. She kept telling me I needed to go and turn in a copy of such document again because they couldn't find the copy. Do not talk to prospect students like they are dumb just because you feel like you have to be rude. read more

I want to give education institutions high marks, but I have some reservations about this one. The problem is my experience may be very different from the many other program areas within this school. I could not get the staff to return phone calls, answer messages, or correct errors on their website applications. I finally gave up. One young woman wanted to help, but she had no authority and moved me up the chain to her supervisor. That sent me back to the same people unwilling to answer emails and phone messages, or make corrections. I just can't in good conscience give them a high score. I would say, however, everyone deserves a second chance, so I'm not giving up. read more

I know this place like the back of my hand. Anyway, the deal with this school is this: FRCC, like all community colleges, serves two main functions. One function is education, and the other function is filtration. Of course, their promotinal materials would NEVER mention the second function, but that is indeed a function nonetheless, even if unintended. That is, you can get a cheap two years of credits here and have pretty much all of them transfer to any 4-year college in Colorado, as per their transfer agreements. This will save you TONS of money. The teaching, overall, is good, though of course there are some poor teachers, just like any other school on earth. If anything, the teachers care TOO MUCH about the students, and baby them to a degree. Most of the students are complete slackers, but they get weeded out by the filter eventually. There are the usual lost souls, the usual potheads, quasi-gang members, total wastes of space, and those who are just plain inept, but there are some gems among the bad students. On the other hand, there are some students, such as those in the nursing department or those who are super motivated to transfer, who are serious, diligent, and competent. They are the minority compared to the masses of asses at this school, but when you have open admissions, that's what you get. Those students who have posted negative reviews of this school probably suck academically and just assume that they'll pass the courses because they're on the roster. How wrong you are! Generally, if anything, the teachers are WAY TOO LENIENT on the students here and will promote them out of pity or as a form of liberal social engineering, which doesn't do anyone any good in the long run. In then end, if you want inexpensive credits and many learning opportunities, this is a great school for you, but if you're looking to hide away from the world or fake that you're going to college while you're actually just slacking your life away, it would benefit you to get out of that mindset and go somewhere more appropriate for you. read more

I took a few pre-requisites here, including psychology and organic chemistry, and found the classes adequate. Class size was small and there was plenty of access to professors if needed. Granted you may have to deal with a lower caliber of students, which is sometimes annoying during class discussions. But for basic clases on the cheap, this is a great resource! read more

This is an update from my previous post... The Front Range Westminster Campus is again displaying their untrained ignorance in so far as keeping my husbands credit straight. He went in to the advising office to speak with them about graduation and was told that he may have had enough credits last spring to graduate!!!!!!!!!!Excuse me but WTF!! You told him last Feburary that he was one credit short..so he paid money for a chemistry class this fall and we're told that he might not have needed it??? The advising office is currently trying to figure out his credits that were transferred in from another school. They are supposed to call him as soon as they figure it out but I doubt that will happen. They have wasted so much of our money by not knowing how to do their job. I Do Not Recommend this half assed excuse for a school and others should be aware of how they are ripping people off! read more

I had a fantastic summer semester. I had some problems with college the first time around right after high school, and nearly a decade later I re enrolled and man am I glad I did. My instructor for English 121 was Mrs. Kelli Cole and wow, she was fantastic! For an online class, I really wasn't expecting such hands on instruction. I honestly wasn't even sure I would succeed. But Mrs. Cole did an incredible job with helping every person in the class, and she even made the whole experience enjoyable. I'm only in my second semester right now but I would recommend Front Range Westminster to anyone looking to further their education. read more

This school is kind of a mess. About half of the professors I have had are foreign and clearly have trouble speaking correct english. The tuition is still on the rise but thats no different than anywhere else. One thing that is incredibly frustrating is many professors require books that are front range only editions so its very hard to buy used textbooks anywhere else. The classes are challenging and that is refreshing. This is of course dependent on the professor but in my experience they have a good level of difficulty. read more

DO NOT ENROLL IN THE NURSING PROGRAM!!! It is a waste of time. The faculty lie to the students about accreditation, nursing preceptorship, and job availability. Waste of time! I had to take two years of prerequisites to attend an associates program. The program took two years. That was close to 100 credits for a AAS. When I graduated in 2010 I could not get an offer from the smallest long-term care facility. The AAS is useless. $12,000 down the drain. Had I gone to a university I would most likely be employed. The faculty claimed that they were NLN accredited the entire time and that our degree would be capable of transferring anywhere in the U.S. WRONG!! I found out in 2012 that the acceptance of our NLN or ACEN went through 3 months after I graduated and basically voids the credibility of my degree. The faculty also screwed up my preceptorship placement so bad that they didn't even know where I was going until 5 days after the proposed start date. Where did I go for my big capstone (Late start) rotation to showcase all of my education; Boulder Community Hospital Orthopedic (Third time orthopedic rotation of the program) night shift. Thanks. When I arrived for my first shift the one nurse laughed at me and told me the last patient admitted, was just discharged. Overall a waste of time. Spend the money and go to Regis, UCD, Metro and get your BSN. Regrettable Graduate. read more

Overall a good experience, a bit challenging & stressful this semester, but with hard work I can truly say it was satisfying. :) The staff, lab monitors, teachers are supportive & helpful. read more

The fact that this school has so many stars kind of blows my mind. I am so over Front Range, and have just been using it to supplement electives at my University, but this will be my last semester there. Their classes for out of state students (I am from Colorado, but military, so I have to pay out of state rates) are outrageous. They post the required book list, and more than twice I have ordered the exact books on the list, and either ended up not needing them at all, or told that I have the wrong book. Classes are easy, and as long as you do your work you will get an A in every class. I am just sick and tired of paying over $1,000 a class, plus books that I do not need, to take classes where I barely learn anything. Save your money and pick a better institution. read more

I called to get some information about the nursing program, was transferred to the nursing department & whoever I spoke to was horrible! Made it more than clear she did not have the time or patience for my questions. Her attitude and lack of helpfulness completely ruined my idea of attending their nursing program. read more

I LOVE FRCC! My in person experiences have been excellent. Teachers are personable and actually promote education and student success (rather than teaching for "the test"). Front Range really forms a COMMUNITY. I found it easy to make friends on campus. This summer I took two online classes. Even here students would send out emails to the entire class to wish one another good-luck. My teacher was very passionate about the subject matter. The online system Desire2Learn is easy to use and reliable. While working on my undergrad I took classes from CSU and FRCC at the same time. I highly recommend FRCC for anyone! read more
