    I would recommend Lost Medanos College to anyone interested in a quality education. They have friendly, well-qualifed professors who are interested in student success. They are willing to meet with you to offer help and support. There are two campus locations providing more available classess. They also offer great Math support! Attendance at LMC is very affordable. Three of my siblings have completed all of the general education courses, then transferred to, and graduated from a 4 year University. That is my path as well and I will be starting at Azua Pacific University this Fall. The college is well connected with the UC system and many of the UCs automatically contact with you if you have a good GPA and assist with the transfer process.
