I loved my experience at Foothill College, and highly encourage returning or high school students to consider attending this college. I was a low-income, first-gen student with no idea on how to navigate higher education. I came here because of Foothill Promise, which is two years of FREE tuition AND book costs. they have a food pantry which is a lot more accessible and higher quality than other community colleges as well as four-year universities due to their concentration on solving food insecurity in their students. Campus had a good atmosphere because it is all trees and nature, so it was nice to look at it and be on campus. Immersive campus culture and had a very active student government/club life which is VERY rare in community colleges. Overall, I loved attending here because of the college administrations' personal investment in their students and equity work. Attending UCLA for the next two years as a transfer student, due to their TAP program and great counseling!
The concept of community college must not be underestimated. The rewards and results of participating in an educational system are derived from the students efforts, and lesser of what one believes of the standards a professor holds. Community college beyond all else, provides a fruitful learning environment––conducive for all walks of life to develop their drive for learning. This is very valuable. The drive to learn is paramount in the initiation of ones higher-educational studies, since albeit other colleges may have materially higher standards and content, some of those who jump to 4-year universities fail and drop out for lack of drive. Foothill College provides the means for enjoying ones education and allowing a student whom have struggled or excelled in high school, take further ownership of their learning, thus allowing no material educational standard to faze them.
I often hear that there's no "community" in community colleges but I think Foothill is the exception. There are so many resources provided to help students succeed–free tutoring, small class sizes, and very accessible professors who want you to succeed. Especially during this pandemic, my professors have been incredibly understanding and hardworking to keep the class moving. When we were on campus, there were clubs to join, creative and academic competitions, and fun monthly school events.
I learned a lot and enjoyed my time here very much.
