College of San Mateo Reviews
Rating 3.93 out of 5 472 reviews
College of San Mateo does an excellent job encouraging students with their educational plan( whether transferring to a UC or CSU, or just guide them to help receive an AA) and career goals. The staff and faculty communicate well with students here on campus and are personally invested in helping make sure that students time at CSM has a purpose. As an ambassador who works for the campus, it's great to see students and faculty enjoying coming to work and school everyday. The campus is also very beautiful and has a great location, it is about 30 minutes away from the coast and about 45 minutes away from San Francisco. This is an amazing community college that students should defiantly attend!
College's faculties and professors try their best for students during the time. Many professors, especially English professors, are outstanding, but some are not (choose carefully). In general, the faculty is very understanding and eager to assist you in succeeding!
For a community college, the College of San Mateo has a lot of opportunities for students to succeed and realize their goals. Unfortunately, some opportunities are only available to in-state students.
Many professors are amazing, especially English professors, but some are not (choose carefully). Generally, the faculty is really understanding and willing to help you to succeed!
