They provide engaging lectures, one-on-one guidance, and research opportunities. The pre-med advising team is accessible and immensely helpful, supporting me in every aspect of my journey.

Sophomore: Cal Poly SLO has an excellent academic program. This college strives for "Learn By Doing" and is seen within every major. Students are expected to learn hands-on in their field of choice. For example, for animal science majors there are fields of land where horses, cows, pigs, and more live. This is for the purpose of undergrads to gain experience. Cal Poly has well has a preschool located in front of the library to support students who have an interest in education. Child development majors participate in this preschool by being an observer and staff to the children. The preschool not only is able to make the "Learn By Doing" slogan true but as well brings in citizens to the school. Thus creating a closer community. The location of Cal Poly is beautiful as well. The school is surrounded by mountains with the ocean only being 10 minutes away! Downtown can be reached within walking distance from Cal Poly. Overall, great school.... Read 3,962 reviews

The support programs and clubs gave me a community in higher education. The teachers, counselors, and fellow students gave me a newfound appreciation for education. And my guidance for the rest of my life came from the Mt SAC. events, counselors, student programs, and courses. I couldn't be more grateful!... Read 1,946 reviews

Sophomore: Cuesta was a great starting experience right out of high school to get a taste of college level courses, student life, and campus. Staff and faculty were great and always helpful, and there are plentiful resources aiding admissions, financial aid in AND out of school, job opportunities, career development and more. The current Cuesta website, as well as MyCuesta and Canvas, can all use some updates regarding contact information and site navigation, but once you get rolling it’s easy as pie. I’m an Art Major but it’s simple to change your major, navigate classes, review professors, and get in touch with counselors. I had to take many general education classes in the beginning as I was pursuing an AA degree, but I easily withdrew to only take art classes for a certificate instead. Great and easy! Also, a wonderful campus (SLO) with dozens of student life and event opportunities.... Read 578 reviews

Freshman: I love the atmosphere here! Everyone is friendly and I really like my professors. Theatre and English are my favorites. The books for classes are so interesting and how our classes and assignments go are pretty interesting and engaging. I wish they had a program to help with books and main supplies. They have been helping with food and some financial aid. But I really wish they could help with supplies, because that can really add up fast, especially since a lot of students have to work a lot to have enough for it. I love my campus though, the cafe and main cafeteria has many options and easy access to any information that I may need, the counseling and main mental health awareness is pretty good too, it has made school a lot easier!...

I have met so many teachers and faculty there that are really excited to help their students succeed in life and what they are passionate about! There are also many environment conscious choices around campus, such as carpool spaces, a bus system, and solar panels! Butte also did a lot to help students through the pandemic with additional grants and other forms of help. The campus itself is clean, and with areas such as the Queer resource center, road runner hub and food pantry, and the campus safe space, I always feel welcome and at ease.... Read 710 reviews

It was extremely easy to get in contact with counselors,financial aid, and even my professors. Mendocino college is filled with many opportunities for students to succeed. Not only that but the sense of community is strong at Mendocino College. Every student is represented in some way! I have been able to grow mentally and academically at Mendocino College....

Freshman: Chico State is an experience like no other. Enrolling here, I've made meaningful relationships, and met many people I am proud to say are my friends. The dorm life is lively, it always seems like people are always busy with something. Chico State also offers great on campus recourses, whatever you can think of, there's probably a building or office dedicated to it. The campus does a great job at not only advocating for successful students, and high marking grades. But also makes sure to put mental health and individual well-being right alongside that in terms of importance. I do not regret enrolling in Chico State, and I'm confident that my following years at this school will uphold the same praises that I have expressed so far!... Read 2,556 reviews

Sophomore: Feather River College is a great community college to go to within California. It is best for in state students as the Promise Grant allows people to go there for free for the first two years but otherwise the tuition is not much. The campus culture could be more tolerant of minorities (there's no violence but there is bad talk) but is overall very accepting and welcoming. The teachers are very supportive and the class sizes are small and allow for a lot of one on one with the teachers. It is a great school and I advise others to go there if they can....

Senior: Cal Poly is an amazing school, there is a lot of problems with it when it comes to the size of the campus and the difficulty of the classes. However, I think overall going to CPP has been great and I have become a better person because I went here. Some professors are worse than others but I have met absolutely some of the best professors ever here and even some of them helped me get into the professional career. I think if you go to college seriously and want to really better your life this is a great school. Also the social life in Cal Poly is great too! lots of parties, and good times to be had here if you live on dorms or around the campus! I love it here and I have really grown since going to CPP. I recommend it to anyone especially in engineering or science fields.... Read 3,233 reviews

Sophomore: Easy to register, easy to enroll for classes and easy to access a counselor. The dashboard is easy to use when doing online courses. The programs and professors are very well qualified. Staff is very friendly when we need to speak to admissions, financial aid or business office. I completed my health care interpreting program back in May 2021. Now I am studying American Sign Language. This college has amazing majors and it is so easy to get through an education at this campus, whether its in person or online. Reedley College includes a Reedley Middle College program for students that want to get ready for college. This campus is very well structured with student's needs. It also includes support for disabled students that want to pursue their education. I am also proud of my college, because it includes an Adult Transition Program that helps kids obtain their diploma after completing a certificate in high school. I give my college a 10 start evaluation. Go Tigers!... Read 467 reviews

I love that the campus is clean, big, and close to home. I love that the school provides students with opportunities to relax or further their studies in the library and several shops around the area. They encourage students who visit campus to take part in any of the many clubs that exist, and student exclusive activities, such as rock climbing, visiting the gym, or trying out for sports!...

Freshman: Despite numerous challenges I had with transcripts, classes, and technology errors, Fresno State's Kremen academic advising team was extremely helpful and worked dilligently to help me enroll this last semester. Now that the fall semester has begun, I enjoy all of my classes thoroughly. I have never been more confident that elementary education is what I want to do! Pouring into their students, the professors actually care about the material they are teaching. When a professor is as passionate about the subject as the students, it becomes contagious! Fresno State has successfully cultivated a community of students and professors where I know I am supported on my academic journey. A greater education does not come without its challenges, but at Fresno State, I know that I will be able to prevail with my degree and a hope for the future.... Read 2,851 reviews

Freshman: I was a dull enrollment student attending Porterville College's in-person classes. I have been taking two classes every semester since my junior year of high school. My experience there at Porterville college was an unique one because I was able to have a glimpse of what college life can be like. I learned that Porterville college was easy to navigate from different events such as workshops, club rushes, and student aids like food drives and community events. The culture here at PC is warm and bubbly with people ranging from fresh out of high school to the elderly. There was no discrimination showed on the campus. I liked how lively the staff were with every event. Every day was like a party because of how free spirited the atmosphere was compared. I wish that this college doesn't change an aspect of what they are all ready forming.... Read 319 reviews

Close to restaurants, gas stations, and entertainment venues. The beach is a 30 minute drive and to reach the snow is 20 minutes from campus. Lots of clubs to join and job opportunities with internship credit. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises around campus. The scenery is spectacular with views of the redwood trees and Sonoma Mountains in the East. Best sports teams in the CSU with high academic scores.

Sophomore: I've really enjoyed my experience at Ventura College so far. I've had some amazing professors, especially my english, algebra, ceramics, and digital content marketing professors. I've really found a passion for digital content marketing through Professor Nick Norris' social media marketing program. He's been extremely supportive and genuinely wants his students to take the skills they learn and be successful outside of the program. My other favorite program here at Ventura College is the ceramics program. I love the friendly and creative environment that keeps drawing me back for extra time in the studio. Specifically what I love about the ceramics program is the creative freedom of the projects, letting me make the designs as intricate and crazy as I want or make a piece with a simple design. Overall I've really enjoyed my time at Ventura College so far, the environment is friendly and busy but in the very best way.... Read 759 reviews

Sophomore: Sierra College changed my entire outlook on community college. I was able to start taking classes at Sierra in my sophomore year of high school; they had integrated dual-enrollment courses so students could begin accumulating college credits. I took as many of these classes as I could, and was able to graduate high school early, and enter Sierra College full-time in the Spring. This transition was made easy by the Sierra College counselors and professors, who all encouraged taking a non-tradiational pathway. My education through Sierra College has been nothing but advantageous. The college offers a wide variety of classes, which made it easy for me to complete my transfer requirements in under two years. I am now able to transfer to any CSU and multiple elite four-year colleges with 62 units on my transcript. In addition to this, the campus is beautiful. It is clean, feels safe, and fosters a very welcoming community. The infastructure additions to the campus are incredible as well!... Read 1,200 reviews

Sophomore: You have to make the most of it! Go in with a clear mindset of what you want to accomplish and seek out the resources they have if you have questions. Spend some time in their student services building to figure out what they have to offer. I think many people don't realize how helpful some of their programs are! If you need help paying for classes, they have SO many options. There are so many programs that help you have specialized counselors, early enrollment dates, and free or reduced costs for classes. Also, I really liked 90% of the Professors I've had. The other 10% was when I didn't listen to rate my professor honestly. Be proactive and don't wait to ask for help!... Read 1,098 reviews

The campus is filled with wonderful teachers that strive to empower their students, and the tutoring center is a great way get any extra help in any particular area of study. And it’s free! You can’t beat that deal! However, if I could change one aspect of Shasta College, it would be the online canvas system. Sometimes canvas can be a little challenging to navigate (especially if you’re a first time student), but modifying canvas would help take away many students’ stress, for the majority of the stress is from trying to understand canvas system....

Talking to financial aid over the phone has been known to be quite tricky for me. It often feels that when I go there in person they are free expeditiously but again, over the phone they are hard to get a hold of. The professors have been generally good to me.
