Diversity and endless opportunities is the best way I can describe the benefits from my experience at Santa Ana College. Throughout my time here, I have established many connections with students and professors. Because of this, I have had many job opportunities within my legal profession and have always had people whom I can discuss certain class topics that assist me in obtaining better grades. The biggest advantage for me is that many night and online classes are offered. This helps me a lot because I am a full time employee and have been able to be a full-time student as well. The flexibility has allowed me to better schedule my study/homework sessions. All the resources made available to students gives me or anyone in attendance no excuse of failing and not transferring. Due to what I mentioned above, I will be obtaining my Associates Degree in Psychology this June and will be transferring to Cal State Fullerton.

The school provides many resources for the students that are extremely useful. The staff is friendly and are always there to help. There are many places on campus that are useful for the students, in terms of helping them to succeed. They offer many opportunities to aid the students to succeed in their classes. Also, they provide support and assistance when the students are in need of it. The tutoring programs they offer are free which saves the students money and help them improve in their classes.
Santa Ana College was a wonderful experience for me, and everyone else I know that has gone here throughout the years. I am so glad that I got to go to such a great college to get my associates degree. What really stands out at SAC are the professors. They are supportive, caring, and want to see their students succeed not just in class, but in life too. The college also offers a lot of different programs to help students succeed, along with easy to access math, language, english, etc tutoring. The biggest complaint I had was the construction, however a lot of it is done now and the campus looks quite nice.
