I love how they have multiple class options for lots classes.; it really helps for those who need flexible options for busy schedules. I love that they have online and on-campus classes, which is useful. However, since covid, all classes transitioned to online. There are a lot of good professors that know what they're doing, enjoy what they're doing, are friendly and make the classes more enjoyable as a result. MiraCosta College also has the RAFFY program(Resources and Assistance for Former Foster Youth), which is ran by a man named Jaymie Gonzaga. He does an AMAZING job and has helped me and others a LOT! Honestly, if it wasn't for the RAFFY program, I never would've been able to even be able to attend school or pay for books and supplies, since Financial Aid was put on hold for, due to my taxes from 2 years prior, despite not having income. RAFFY & Jaymie were there EVERY step of the way, and I wish I would've enrolled sooner, as a result!
The only reason why I didn't give it five stars, is because of a certain teacher that I had. She was not only very cold and upapproachable, she wasn't understanding, empathethic and when I would ask her a question, instead of giving me an ACTUAL answer, she would tell me to go look for it in a place that had nothing to do with where I could find the answer. One example, I asked her which book I needed for the course. She said, "Check the syllabus" which NEVER listed the title of the textbook that I needed and I had to use outside resources to EVENTUALLY figure it out. It turned an interesting class that I was excited about, into a class that I dreaded every week. Also, she took way too long to respond, as well. Luckily this was an online class, which probably made it more bearable. This was only one bad experience, I have nothing but great things to say about all about my other professors! A great teacher changes EVERYTHING about the class, experience and helps students improve!
I have attended Mira Costa College for 3 years and I think it’s an excellent choice and has a very friendly environment on campus. The class sizes are smaller so there is a lot more one on one with the professors, which in my opinion is always a plus ! There’s is also a ton of extracurricular activities to par take in outside the class room! There are multiple events that go on each semester to help recruit fellow students and everyone tries to make that day exciting and as fun as possible! Everyone, professors and students are very helpful and friendly, this is overall a great College to attend!
