My experience at Porterville College is great. Clubs and extracurricular activities that I have participated in, propose community service and visiting 4 year universities. This community college is helpful and supportive with students who are in need of tutoring, finding local jobs in town and offering guidance on discovering your degree and career choice. A change I would like to see at the college is if the school extended the deadline for payment on enrollment fees. This new adjustment, I believe would help many students.
No matter what age or ethnic background you have this school will welcome you with open arms. As I grow as a academic I have learned to ask questions that help me get the results that accommodate success. However this is a personal process that we all go through when confronted with the unknown. As I have learned the answers are there It's up to you how much you want it. There is a amazing amount of support and encouragement (DRC,EOPS,) Help You were you are with what you have. Love This School!
So far, my experience with Porterville College has been great. However, with some of the classes I’ve taken, I haven’t had the best instructors. By some classes I mean about 3. Other than that the majority of my instructors have been so optimistic and helpful and really want you to succeed. The campus is beautiful and very well kept and is such a friendly environment.
