"The advisors and counselors were very useful to me. The Tutoring Center was also a tremendous help. As a tutor at the Cambridge Campus, I enjoyed the warmth and support of the center as I helped other students to succeed in their writing."

"AR was a great place to start for me. They offered great art classes, which was something I was seriously considering after high school. Also, the year I started was the first year they formed a men’s collegiate soccer team/program, so I tried out and made the team.
Anoka-Ramsey offers opportunity; opportunity with the best-looking community college and location in the state.
My experience in the Multicultural Club was awesome. There were so many students I met from all over the world. It was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the club as well as the many field trips we took including the one at the convention center, Festival of Nations."
