I’ve had a few courses online before COVID-19 and they were both great. Both of my professors were very efficient in their teaching methods and were always available when help was needed. Ever since COVID-19 happened, I could tell that a lot of professors weren’t used to this online teaching method. It took them a while and us as students some time and learning as well. Thankfully, we’re all accommodating to it very well!
Overall, Porterville College is a decent junior college to start your education at if you're not willing to commute elsewhere. They have a decent variety of classes to help get you started in whichever field you desire. They have multiple clubs and sports that you're able to participate in, as well as nice spots to be able to hang out at and study. They have a beautiful library that gives you all the necessary tools to succeed. Lastly, their professors really take the time to answer any question as needed.
Before attending Porterville College, I was a little apprehensive about going to a community college; I wanted to experience living away from home and walking around a huge campus. When I arrived in my class, however, I was pleasantly surprised! The professors actually took the time to learn everyone's names and get to know each student individually. They formed relationships with their students and were very accommodating and understanding. Now, I never want to leave.
