As a college freshmen, I feel extremely blessed and grateful to be at MiraCosta. Going into college, I was very nervous since I had been homeschooled for the majority of my life. However, MiraCosta has provided me with plenty of the support and materials needed to pursue my education and overall personal growth. I take most of my classes at the San Elijo campus, and I couldn't be happier with the small, yet homey environment. The counselors are exceptional in terms of helping and genuinely wanting students to succeed. The professors are passionate about the subjects they teach and personal experiences they share. Student services such as free tutoring as well as math and writing centers for academic assistance are offered throughout the year, and I would advise anyone to take advantage of all the helpful resources offered!
MiraCosta College is a great place for international students as I am. Experienced professors, friendly staff, smart classmates. I love here. Campuses are very well equipped and located at beautiful places. I highly recommend this college!
The professors are great! My overall experience with this college was amazing. I took two excellerated units as a highschool student- both history classes and they were very informative. The age range in the classes varied from highschool students to middle age adults. The professors were very passionate about the subjects they were teaching and had a lot of information and experience to share. I would recommend taking excellerated courses because it is a good way to get some classes out of the way over summer and you can save a ton of time and money. These classes count as a normal class would twoards a college transcript.
