I have been at Foothill for almost three years now and throughout these past years I feel like I am very satisfied with my education here. To begin, the professors show that they care for their students by being flexible to meet with students one on one and they are very big on advocating for diversity within their classrooms. In every class I have taken, the professors make it a point to emphasize the importance of valuing everyone in the class. Most importantly, the professors provide students with the information of almost every resource that is available to us such as tutoring, mental health services , and financial aid resources. What I also really love about the school is the campus. The style of the campus gives me an old town vibe and I completely fell in love with it. There are so many trees and open space so it is possible to study or do homework at the tables that are spread out in the quad. Overall, this school is a good choice to keep in mind!
First off, I think it's important to say that even though Foothill College is known to have the highest transfer rate out of all of the community colleges in the Bay Area, it's still important to note that your success in transferring is up to you just as much here as it is at any community college.
With that being said, most of the counselors here are very, very informative and knowledgeable about transferring which I found to value a lot. However, I did find that you have to push them to help you as much as they can.
My absolute favorite thing about FH are the teachers and classes. In my experience, 95% of the teachers here are great and want students to succeed. The tutoring center is also filled with tutors that support you to the best of their ability. You will also find find other peers that would love to help and support you as well. It's a great community.
Lastly, the people here are really kind and there are lots of opportunities for internships and work study!

Committed to serving a diverse student population, prioritizing equity, and practicing inclusivity inside and outside the classroom, Foothill has proven to be the right choice for me to begin my higher education pursuit. At Foothill, I have received quality instruction from enthusiastic professors, guidance and support from multiple academic counselors, and warmth from on-campus Staff. Foothill's Honors Program and Counseling courses have made it possible for me to feel confident in applying to transfer to a four-year university this Fall. The only shortcoming of my college experience at Foothill has been the school's slow return to campus plan that has left much of the student population, including myself, frustrated about the limited amount of in-person classes being offered. While Foothill serves its students in many great ways, I believe one of the best acts of service in this post-pandemic era would be offering all students the option of an in-person education.
