Pikes Peak State College - Downtown Studio Campus

I love the Downtown Studio campus and their Gallery. As a PPCC student I have had the pleasure to have my work featured here. But the gallery also offers shows from full fledged local artists. Currently there is an exhibit "Intimate Voices" of 4 local artists where one can not only view their magnificent work, but also purchase pieces straight from the gallery.

I honestly really like PPCC! I would have to say that the advisors have a bit of unreliable information however. My mom and I are both taking courses here and for our first semester, we were told that we had to take an AAA class that was required for graduation by an advisor. Around our second semester, a different advisor told us that we didn't need that class. I do feel that the AAA class is a bit of a waste of time and money, and that it doesn't have a lot to offer other than the basic business and study skills that were taught in high school. Other than that, the teachers are wonderful and offer to help people if they need it. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to get into a 4 year college as they are very heavy on transferring. A really great school!

Watch out for the academic advisor Adam, he doesn't appear to know anything and as a veteran he enrolled me in every single class that doesn't the va wouldn't pay for.

I am very happy to call the Downtown studio my resource center. Every time I go to the writing center at this location I am greeted with helpful friendly faces and attitudes. I think the parking situation works well as I have not had an issue with trying to find a safe parking spot. I have yet to take any courses at this location as it is not as convenient to me as other locations but I go out of my way to come to the Downtown Studio for resources.
