The professors and staff here are extremely helpful in guiding you through any questions or concerns you might have regarding financial aid, courses you might be interested in and what it takes to achieve a certificate associates degree and beyond! The campus is brilliant and massive with picturesque views at every corner. Every person i have encountered here has been friendly and helpful! This school is great! Go here!
I love College of San Mateo's, and if it were a four year I would stay all four years to get my bachelors degree. I specifically love the dance program. I really love that the kinesiology department in general is so diverse. The professors within the kinesiology department are so giving of their time in and outside of class and are very accommodating to all their students from what I've experienced and seen. My other general education classes have also been pretty great for the most part. Teachers in general have been really understanding and helpful. The teachers that I've had have really striven to prepare me and other students for a four year college experience. Not all teachers are that great, but I believe I've gotten pretty lucky in getting great teachers. For the price I feel that I am getting a lot out of the community college experience!
College of San Mateo is a great school! The counselors at CSM are so mindful of each students needs. The professors are somewhat hard but overall very understanding. I could just tell them "Hey, I'm stuck" and they will always work with me on on one instead of just turning me away. The environment is really fun! My peers were super chill and always willing to work together. Also, students are really connected especially with all the cool programs offered.
