It's not always ideal to go to a community college, but I was able to save a lot of money and figure out what I want to do educationally speaking. I would recommend reviewing the professors on rate my professor before taking their class. I dodged a lot of bullets that way!
Review College of the Sequoias
I had a good experience at College of the Sequoias. I was a student there for 3 years and I played softball there for one year. I loved my chemistry and physiology teachers there. Those two classes were extremely difficult but they did everything in their ability to teach me the way that fit me best. They would have one on one talks with me, give me extra examples and not get frustrated if I had a question. I would like to see improvements in the availability in the nursing program. I'm forced to relocate to go to a nursing program in another area because COS's is too packed with only 30 applications being excepted. I would have liked to do my nursing program at COS.
My school is a really good in between for high school and college. The campus gives off a very tranquil feeling, fellow students are friendly towards each other, and you can tell the teachers really enjoy their respective subjects and want to see you succeed. I've actually had a few classes that I'm excited to go to each semester. Not to mention, most classes have a multitude of versions, so you can try one teacher over another, or an online or hybrid class over your standard class sessions. Overall, it's a nice launchpad for the future.
