Las Positas College Reviews

I love the professors and the staff! The facilities are maintained and are being updated, and any new construction is there to benefit the students and staff. They are very protective of their students and staff and everyone is treated well. There’s resources for anyone and they genuinely do want to see everyone’s success. One thing I would like to see changed is the hours the administration, cafeteria, library, and student store remain open until. I feel the pandemic changed the hours of operation drastically and they never went back to the old hours, which had a lot of benefit to late-night students.

Review Las Positas College

If you're considering attending a 2-year college after high school, I would definitely look into Las Positas. To begin, the campus is beautiful, as it's clean, tranquil, spacious, and near facilities for different needs. The environment presents itself to be healthy due to the fact that most professors at this campus are caring, very patient, and passionate about helping students. Besides the professors and staff playing an important role in the atmosphere of the community at Las Positas, there are countless opportunities offered and several different types of benefits. LPC's own mini-mart was made public on campus for students who can't struggle to pay for necessary things. How amazing is that! Besides this, there is always some time of even going on that helps students on their paths to success one way or another. Las Positas is a gateway to bettering your future, especially if you plan on transferring to a 4 year!

Overall Las Positas College is a very good school with good standards in all aspects. They offer both online or in person classes, with accommodations regarding hybrid and hi-flex interaction. Las Positas is a resourceful college, with countless aids granted to students, such as FAFSA and other financial helps. The campus is a great size, with everything walking distance and has a beautiful structure while also being kept well maintained. They also offer special programs, such as Puente, where students are shifted step by step onto the college lifestyle and guided through confusing topics that incoming freshman usually struggle with, such as important oncoming deadlines, support/tutoring opportunities, creating an efficient and successful student educational plan, picking out classes, and even granting them priority registration. The cafeteria also has a wide selection to offer with a cafe serving hot meals, a grocery selection, a Starbucks, and a mini mart.
