    College of the Sequoias is a wonderful campus and it is close to home. When I would go it always had a positive vibe. The staff was always very helpful. There was always great resources that I could go to if I needed help. The environment was safe and it had a coffee shop next to it which was good! One thing I really liked about the campus is how it has food on the campus. They also have great athletics along with good academics. The diversity is great along with the safety. The student life is always great along with the professors.
    I really enjoy the college, my peers, and the professors, but my only problem is the counselor department. The front desk has rude people that try to make it difficult, especially for new students, and the actual counselors don't really help you as much. It feels like they just want you out as soon as possible without really helping you with your plan to transfer or graduate. Another problem is that they're not really educated in the different departments at COS. They just tell you to ask the department even if it's a simple question like "What is the requirement for this class." However, the school is very welcoming and enjoyable with the teachers and students.
