I love Contra Costa College and I am proud to be a student here. From the teacher's, students and the facilities, I would say it is a very good community college.
online Math Professor is hard to communicate or she gave you hard time for no reason, avoid at all cost.
Communication is just not there. None ever knows what is going on and the ones who do are not helpful.
There's never any communication with the administration about happenings, I never see flyers for events you just have to find out.
They are really pushing this online education which isn't right for me.
Administrations and department leaders are very aggressive and victimize their students. This is based on my own experience . They stand behind bullet proof glass and and intentionally use aggressive language to trigger you you....intentionally.

I started my nursing journey at CCC during the year of 2022, so far academics and teacher are good and really professional. The professors are always encouraging students to finish the courses with flying A’s ehich is good. Mostly the campus buildings are new except for the Applied Arts building. Security is also always doing their rounds. There is also free food during lunch for college students and middle college students.
My overall experience at Contra Costa College is absolutely great in where they take really consideration about your actual life outside of school. A unique thing I found interesting was the amount of study spots there is, I love spending my time studying in secret spots. A great change that would positively impact or change the campus is to have a better choice of food or drinks.
I am currently taking my last class required for nursing school. I was blessed enough to have the course completed online. I am currently still in the class, and my professor has been very helpful and thorough in her teachings. Contra Costa College also offers many events daily between the hours of 11 am and 2 pm. These events usually offer many resources like how to apply to UC's and Cal States.
Amazing. Great teachers that we’re engaged with the class and had well rounded personalities. My favorite teacher is Ms. Ivy and Mr. Wagner. Both are incredibly intelligent and funny. I recommend CCC overall.
Contra Costa College was an amazing school for guiding first time students and returning students. Students here were able to go at their own pace while still being able to hold a job and pay for school. This school should be everyone's first step/introduction to college because it was manageable and did a lot for the students. It's a smart move to do community college first. I think some things that can change in on campus would probably offering more classes, especially for the art department. They should allocate their money back into education instead of cutting down on funds.
My overall experience with CCC has been filled with more negatives than positives.
There's usually noone you can talk to when you have an issue. Their staff is usually rude & uninformed. I used to think for the most part the professors were great but that isn't the case any more. However most of my professors have been positive for me. However it is important to note there are some actual down right mean professors who seem to have it in on you.
There are some issues that need to be addressed.
The women's locker room is next door to the men's locker room and the outside is surrounded by walls that are windows. boys under the age of 18 like to look inside of the locker room and they can because noone used common sense when configuring this locker room. IT is an absolute humiliating experience with noone in the front of the locker room, it shows a lack of care for the students their privacy and personal respect. There are also no pay phones on campus. It is lazy

The professors can be very hit or miss. Being a latino student, I experienced a few micro aggression from some white professors during my fall semester, however my spring semester went much more smoothly and I had a very pleasant experience with my Precalculus professor
One thing that I like about Contra Costa College is the atmosphere. The teachers are very nice. If you seek help they will actually sit down and help you with anything that you need help with. The students that go there are very friendly. people will come up to you and talk to you just to make conversation. The campus is very nice as well. The buildings are new and they are very clean. Overall it is a very nice school.
My experience with CCC was overall positive due to being part of a high school program taking college classes here at CCC. The registration for courses is fairly easy and the professors are overall pleasant to talk to.
This institution is racist. They don’t hire Brown and Especially Black people. All the teachers in the new science building are all White and Asian.
The faculty are pampered and pretend like they are poor like k12 teachers, when in fact their salaries can all be looked up (on transparent California dot com, this is public info that most don’t know) and they all make bank and don’t even want to spend money buying paper clips.
Black History month is a joke here and just lip service especially when they don’t hire Blacks. There should be a celebration or event every day of the month of February but there are only a few events.
Don’t come here if you’re Black. They don’t care about you.

Contra costa college is an amazing community college where you can feel safe and pursue on your education. Everyone is very welcoming and the professor knows what they doing and is very understanding. The school is very diverse I got to see different faces every day and they also have a great tutoring program where tutors will help students with a class they need help with. They also stared having a free meal on the quad which was the best part because sometimes being a student-athlete it's hard to get a meal so it was really nice of the school to provide free meals to students.
Lots of major options to choose from. Campus is very nice and clean. Lots of classes and teachers to choose from.
Affordable. Resources. Local. Teachers are approachable. I just wish atmosphere on campus wasn’t so dead mostly but that’s not what community colleges are known for. I went to community college to save and master some basic adult skills before going onto a four year and am doing just that.
Contra Costa College has great professors that really do care about you as a student. I was curious about the thought of getting professors who were not passionate about what they teach. So many professors help me by offering office hours and even tutoring hours to help me succeed. The courses I have taken have given me perspectives to think about way after taking the course.
