Miracosta has a lot to offer for students of many backgrounds. Their Arts and Music programs are excellent, with a wonderful faculty to help you through your academic journey.
They offer a wide array of classes and associates degree options, which they lay out for you carefully using the Surf interface.
I went to the school before, during and after quarantine, so I believe I got a good idea of what they had to offer and their professionalism. Their curriculum was rough at the beginning of quarantine, but which school didn't struggle then?They recovered and found a way to adapt their programs, so now they offer a very thorough approach to online schooling as well as in person.
The infrastructure and buildings feel good and have nice quality to them. Their equipment for their Music Department is professional grade, everything from their speakers to their recording studio.
A hidden gem of an institution. I highly recommend Miracosta for anyone looking to transfer after!

I've been enjoying my time overall and have gotten some great opportunities from the people I've come to know in my program. The biggest and maybe the only fault is with one professor that is plenty qualified to retire but seems to refuse to and is inhibiting students' learning and is doing more damage than good and his teaching/information is outdated. Students have written him up in the past but the department head refuses to do anything about it. So I guess that that is another fault of the school, inactivity. At least department-wise, not the school as a whole.
My other professors have been great! Really have shown and demonstrated knowledge in their field. It's just that one professor that is terrible but has a monopoly on the degree so there's no avoiding him.

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!
