Freshman: Pasadena City College while not a highly connected community, is a very pleasant and friendly one. Students tend to keep to themselves and professors are very eager to help their students succeed and are far more willing to communicate with their students than in my previous college experiences. It will not be easy! You will need to put in hard work, and utilize all resources available to you should you want to pull off those A grades. The campus is sweet and small, relatively quiet and nestled right next to many boba shops and fast food options for busier students who need a quick meal to tide them over. Be it working night shifts, day shifts, or anything in-between; if you are willing to communicate with professors they will do all in their power to accommodate you. Overall while students tend to keep to themselves, some of the best friendships I've made were through PCC. I discovered both my patience and my grit with the Pasadena Lancers, proud to have been apart of the family... Read 1,783 reviews

Sophomore: After I graduated high school I went straight to college, Mt. SAC. My freshman year was a little difficult to adjust to because of the way the class schedules are. For instance, the math class was only 2 days a week in person and the rest was online, so I was frustrated in having to teach myself the what was being recorded on lecture videos. However, Mt. SAC has specific tutor centers for each subject! Also, I am an athlete there so there is a WIN program that is very beneficial. The staff are always so helpful and supportive, so that really means a lot that I can count on having an encouraging environment go to when I need extra help.... Read 1,932 reviews

Sophomore: I love this school! Overall it's been a great experience being a student at GCC. The professors are mostly good, the classes are engaging and I've learned a lot, and the school administrators are very helpful. I've worked with many counselors and I feel very supported by my school, and I'm always learning about new groups or scholarship opportunities. The transfer center is also great and offers many resources for students looking to transfer with an Associates degree.... Read 675 reviews

Freshman: I am currently a on campus Santa Monica College student. The energy on campus is very positive along with friendly students. The campus is also very diverse wit both students and teachers! There are a lot of food and drink choices all over the campus as well! The patio area near the cafe has a vast amount of tables and seating areas. Most of the class rooms look new and updated with both the buildings structure and the technology. The school also offers a large variety of different classes and the class options are very flexible to complicated schedules. Santa Monica College also offers a significant amount of extra help for students with learning disabilities. Most of the staff is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. There are also many clubs, fairs, and events on the Santa Monica campus. I personally believe that Santa Monica College is one of the best community college options available in California....

Niche User: The best decision I have ever made was to attend Cerritos College for my summer courses. My teachers' and counselors' support throughout all of my classes helped me finish with excellent grades. The college environment in Cerritos is diverse and conveniently located. It is convenient for us students to grab a bite to eat before class because the campus is close to many restaurants. The level of safety is incredible, with constant security ensuring that all students are secure during class hours and during various important events. At Cerritos College, the students are approachable and make it simple to form relationships. Sports in Cerritos are exciting and enjoyable, especially football games. #GoFalcons!...

Alum: The overall way the campus is set up and run is great. I enjoyed my classes here, and I had great professors! The classes are good quality for the most part, especially if you are going for general education. One downside is that they don't offer as many options for majors as other colleges do. Lots of clubs and activities happening here on a regular basis! The campus itself is pretty small, but the area is nice. It's usually a pretty safe place to be, even at night. Being a two year school, there isn't a lot of student housing or apartments nearby, which can make commutes a little difficult. Overall a great place to get started with school if you don't know where to go!... Read 375 reviews

Sophomore: I love Cypress College! I came here after being at a 4-year university for a bit, because I wanted to save money. Cypress hasn't disappointed. They have plenty of programs that help students of different backgrounds. I've been fortunate to have all my textbooks paid for by the VRC. The STEM Program also provides amazing resources to students, including books loans and other perks. Campus provides free breakfasts and lunches for all students. If you're involved in clubs, there's so much potential to build a community for yourself. I generally feel safe on campus. Surrounding area has a lot of good restaurants and stores. Academics are good, but I've only had experience with STEM. I'm sure quality varies by professor since many are adjunct/not tenured; make use of RateMyProfessors. Overall I've had a wonderful experience here. Community colleges are a great financial decision, and Cypress College makes it a great educational and social experience as well.... Read 1,044 reviews

Junior: Moorpark is a great college with a lot of options for classes and great programs. I am currently enrolled in their radiologic technology program and it is so amazing. The professors are great and the program really makes you prepared to work in a hospital setting. I also did my pre requisites for the program at Moorpark and have received a Associates from Moorpark College. The only change I would like to see if counselors who are more helpful and caring. I had many poor experiences with the counselors there and know many students that agree with me. Overall it is a great school and I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially for radiology!...

Sophomore: Long Beach City College (LBCC) is widely recognized for its commitment to academic excellence and inclusive environment. The college offers diverse programs and courses, supported by knowledgeable and supportive faculty members. LBCC's emphasis on practical experience through internships and hands-on learning opportunities is commendable. The college fosters a sense of belonging and encourages students from different backgrounds to engage in meaningful dialogue. However, some students have expressed a desire for improved technology and modern facilities on campus. Additionally, streamlining administrative processes and enhancing communication channels could further improve the student experience at LBCC. Overall, LBCC provides a quality education with dedicated faculty and a diverse community, and with continued efforts to upgrade infrastructure and improve administrative procedures, the college can further enhance the student experience....

Sophomore: The professors I have had are all AMAZING! They provide online and in-person education and require that students be vaccinated if they have in-person classes. It is a super clean campus and they try very hard to bring all the students together even though it is a community college; they plan events and have food drives as well as ceremonies for those who are transferring out. The only thing that I think they can work on is hiring more competent counselors. The counselors do not know enough to help you succeed when transferring to other universities, which can cause you to stay at IVC for more than the estimated two years.... Read 818 reviews

I had certain professors who clearly were passionate about what they did and had a love for teaching! One professor I will remember was one of my childhood development teachers. She was always encouraging, loving and gave helpful feedback for anything I was struggling with. I would encourage every and anyone looking to start their college career here!... Read 1,003 reviews

Junior: My time at Saddleback thus far has been great. Having previously attended a private 4 year institution to enrolling at Saddleback College, I was shocked by how much better the student support was at Saddleback than what was supposed to be a private institution. Saddleback truly cares about their students and offers some of the best support and resources. They also are able to offer more advanced classes in certain subjects such as science due to the level of programs available for students to pursue. The campus is also very nice and well kept. There is currently some construction and expansion on campus so it is exciting anticipating the new changes to campus.... Read 1,279 reviews

Freshman: I personally feel there are a lot of resources at Citrus college and that they are truly there to help you achieve your goals. I hardly ever ran into a bad professor and the school genuinely felt like a community while I was attending. I highly recommend attending for General Education courses however there are a wide range of certificates available to earn there as well. Online learning was not a problem either as there were many accommodations made for me— a student with a disability. The professors all did seem to be doing their part with their students’ best interests in heart. I recall never being nervous to ask for an extension or popping in for their office hours because I was always met with a smile and welcoming aura. For anyone unsure of whether Citrus College is the right fit for them, I would say to give the school a chance because it just might be exactly what they are looking for! Furthermore, Citrus College is a place where you get back double of what you put into it.... Read 785 reviews

Freshman: Enrolling in this school is the best thing that ever happened to me. The counselors have become a crucial, motivating support system for me. It's something I've never had and desperately needed. The teachers have all been just as important to me. Here, I have never once been made to feel like I wasn't good enough. And that's how I've felt my whole life. I've been given a whole new outlook on the world and my part in it. They've given me confidence and revived the passion I have for writing. Now I have the courage to pursue my dream of becoming a writer. It doesn't seem impossible anymore. In fact, nothing seems impossible anymore. They helped me realize what I'm capable of and I could never repay them for that. Believe me when I say that this school has literally changed and saved my life and I wouldn't change a thing about it. Except maybe the fact that not enough people know how amazing they are. It should be broadcasted all over the world and I promise that is no exaggeration!... Read 339 reviews

I got to be near some awesome people real people that showed me that life is real and there are good people out there still. Please take me into consideration to actually re enroll. P. S. I am still waiting on your response so that I may join you again! I have submitted a request to enroll and maybe get some kind of aid given my circumstances I think would better interest me to start a new career or maybe continue the one I had started. I was in dental field. Or I can use some information on your registered nurse program if you have one please. I would love to surprise my kids with something again and also prove to myself that I can finish college. Also someone stole my documents from me and I would like to show my kids that they have a smart momma please if you could be so kind as to maybe resend them to me. Thank you!... Read 794 reviews

Not that the nice environment, helpful resources and friendly professors, every single individual I have interacted was professional in its entirety. I have made a lot of friends throughout these years in LAVC, and I am grateful that I was a student here.

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 757 reviews

Sophomore: Throughout my time at Harbor College, I have encountered both good and bad experiences. There were times where I felt overwhelmed and lost, but I was able to persevere thanks to the support of my teachers. Despite the difficulties, I had some amazing teachers who believed in me and pushed me to reach my full potential. They have inspired me and helped me grow into the person I am today. I have been blessed with teachers and staff who have gone above and beyond to provide me with the resources and support I needed to succeed. They have been incredibly patient with me when I had difficulty understanding the material and have always been encouraging to me. I am grateful for their dedication and commitment to my success. Graduating from college is a milestone I've been working towards for a long time, and I'm proud to be able to say that I'm finally here.

Freshman: First and foremost, the campus is beautifully laid out. Lots of nature, trees and hidden study spots. The teachers are compassionate and generous with study help and don't pile on homework like in high school. The work can pile up.. if you procrastinate so don't. My favorite thing about this college is by far their three story library. It really makes me feel like a college kid! The best spot is the second story on the frontside of the building. There is a long line of desk against a huge window view of the trees and nature making it a prime study spot!... Read 535 reviews

Something else I love about this program and the college itself is how active the student community is from all the events they have going on to the amazing environment they have in the different rooms of the library. Having not been an active student at my high school in any school related events, I have found it to be so fun and a really great college experience for me to have all of the resources they provide.

Senior: My overall experience at Cal State Dominguez Hills has been fantastic! I am a first generation student about to achieve my dream of getting my Bachelor's degree and I am so happy I will be getting it from CSUDH! The professors are super helpful and incredibly smart. The Loker student union has some amazing activities for students to pass the time or relax until another class starts. There are board games, tv's and even a pool table! The parking is plenty, just expensive for a semester parking permit (over 200$) The bookstore is well organized and have lots of snacks. I do wish they had more food options but the options they do have are delicious. Finally I love how small the campus is! It makes it easier to connect with professors and it is much easier to make friends especially if you're in the same major. I am looking forward to graduation in the spring, overall my time at Dominguez Hills has been wonderful!... Read 1,926 reviews

Sophomore: Coastline College has been a great experience for me. I have been through tremendous difficulties since 2018 when I graduated high school. There has been hardships with my family, financial situation, mental health and everything else that comes along with having to grow up quickly and trying to survive. No matter what the staff at Coastline has always been very understanding and helpful to my situation and life. It doesn't matter if I call the EOPS office, financial aid, admission and records, etc. I am always respected and treated like an equal. My professors have all been a blessing and the programs Coastline offers to student's with low-income are outstanding. I recommend my school to people I meet because no matter who you are you will feel like you belong there.

If you tell your consumer that you struggling, they will support you. I'm going to call Riverside Community College, the number 1 and safest college to go to. Nothing in Riverside College, bad about it. Office hours or personal tutors are available to all students. Don't hesitate, to ask for help, they will know how to assist you. The professors, I would give them 4 or 5 stars, because they are on good behavior for all students. They treat students, like adults. No dorms!... Read 1,356 reviews

Sophomore: Anyone considering MSJC should keep this in mind: you will get back what you put in. MSJC can be a really boring and uneventful attendance, or a really useful and beneficial one if you get to know the people and know all the resources. Though, I think the biggest problem is simply the lack of not being given information at the right time. Especially for someone just out of high school, figuring out how to use the different MSJC websites and what classes to take for specific goals you have can be really difficult, so you should research extensively. Additionally, meet with/schedule an appointment with a counselor on Cranium Cafe! That being said, I am grateful for the classes and education here. The Honors Program has helped me reach better classes, so I do feel prepared for going to a 4-year, after Spring 2024. Lastly, I have only attended the SJ Campus, so I can't speak on how Menifee or Temecula is like. It has been a nice place, but always worried about safety at night.... Read 975 reviews
