I took a couple classes through Mira Costa while still being in High School. Great experience! There are plenty of resources, and every faculty member wants you to succeed. However, the students are not the most motivated, or friendly necessarily. Some are, but many are just there to get by and don't care about getting to know you. Of course, it's not the fault of the school- just a note on the atmosphere. I had a great experience and actually did get to know a couple people.
What I liked about MiraCosta College is the class sizes weren't abundant, and the teachers are awesome. You can always get help and if your not familiar with the campus like I wasn't, don't be aftraid to ask around. The students are super friendly and have no problem pointing you in the right direction! Also, there SURF system is great and makes it easy to register for classes
Thanks MiraCosta! See you in spring term,

Although they have a fantastic Student Services Center, the campus is very spread out and not easy to navigate. The signs directing you to go to the different areas of campus are very small, and difficult to read while you're driving, especially if you're new to the campus (don't trust your GPS to get you where you need to go!). It can be disorienting and frustrating to find many areas of the campus due to lack of signage, buildings that aren't marked at all, and parking lots that are often either crowded or have seemingly endless construction going on that blocks access to important parking spots...like those for disabled students and visitors.
