This is the campus I finished my associates degree at as an early college student and it was a very smooth ride. Even transitioning during the pandemic was very smooth. The professors were always nice to every student and always helping with resources. There were always activities to participate in outside of school, and there were always people ready to work with you to help you achieve any goal. This school was very in touch with its cultural roots, it was always nice to hear music almost anywhere on campus. I loved coming here and everyone I know who came here did as well!
Palo Alto is a great place to choose to attend, the environment is extremely healthy and supportive for students. There are numerous student resources available! Palo Alto has a vast library, large computer lab, several tutoring centers, tasty food, a school store, mental health counselors, a sexual health center, and a food/clothing center. The sexual health center, BaebSafe, provides contraception and lube. The food/clothing center, S.H.A.R.E, is essentially a Good Will and Food Bank for attending students and family. The environment is always spreading positivity. There is campus security, I always feel safe. The college also has a gym and aquatic center available to students. You can also use their tennis court! The college provides tennis rackets and balls. There are several clubs, from the Earth Club, to the Bubble Believers (positivity spreading group). I don’t think anything needs to change, its an amazing place.
I love palo alto! The college environment is very friendly and community based. I've never had a hard time there with any one of the staff members. They are always so courteous and helpful. Advisors are friendly and helpful (though they do tend to lag of getting back to you through email). The one thing I would like to see change at PAC is the cafeteria area. I believe they either need to expand the kitchen area. During lunch time, the cafeteria tends to get extremely filled in the kitchen area and the seating area (I think this is due to early college high school students also eating there). An expanded kitchen or seating area would help tremendously. Or maybe they could provide more outdoor seating?
