    Very good academics, but the teachers and staff could be better. Athletic counselors need to work better with their students also, teachers need to work on their communication with students. Sports are good but could be better. College of Alameda needs more security to help protect from car break-ins.
    The college of alameda will meet your needs, however I do suggest that you take Rate my professor or advice seriously because some professors are not going to be adequate for your learning type. Overall I think that if you live in the peralta college district then you should take advantage of their educational opportunities.
