My first day at ARCC

My first day at Anoka Ramsey Community College was very successful. I walked into the school with 10 minutes remaining before my class started. My class wasn't hard to find. I met some nice people and my professor was well educated and thoughtful. I had gone to North Hennepin Community College before coming to ARCC so it was a little bit of a change. ARCC is significantly larger and has two levels compared to NHCC's one. After my class got done, I took some time to browse the campus. I noticed a great view over looking the Mississippi River at the back of the school. I also noticed a wide variety of people; something NHCC didn't have much of. After getting through my first day, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the school.
