I liked the low tuition costs to get my general education requirements. Overall I really like COS but some of the professors should not have their jobs due to minimal requirements, no personal teachings just read this book and answer the questions on page x- to not get fired. One of them literally had it in their syllabus "I reserve the right to change your grade depending on whether or not I believe you deserve it". That teacher was unprofessional and shouldn't work there. Overall great campus but they need to rework who they're keeping on as professors.
This school feels like home. I was really surprised how much I felt in love with this small town community college. The performing arts department is a family. The counselors, advisors, and staff, and most of the teachers all care very much about the students. I have taken classes at three other colleges, but I never felt truly cared for until I enrolled at COS. There are some limitations, due to being a small school, and the administration isn't great, but that's pretty common I think. It's the only community college I know of with its own on-campus housing. Definitely the only one in California. The local area is a very small town, but we are very close to Mount Shasta, which you can see from the school, and many hiking trails and water falls, plus Lake Siskiyou, and the Sacramento River.
Overall, my experience with College of the Siskiyous has been positive. I was in the first batch of students returning post Covid to the dorms, so there were a few (more than a few, actually) bumps in the road to normalcy. Because I am a vocational student and I am anxious to finish my education so I can enter my career field, I decided to transfer to a specific technology school.
