Freshman: I am actually an incoming Freshman, so my review is of the family/student meet and greet weekend. The University of San Francisco pulled out all the stops. The students, staff, tours, mock classes, clubs - everything was amazing and informative. The speeches given were inspiring. The food and opportunities to meet other students were fantastic. There were tours of all the buildings by students who actually live in the dorms. The walkways were filled with clubs to join and prizes to win. And everyone I encountered was extremely knowledgable and supper friendly. They even had therapy dogs, which apparently they bring out during finals week - so cool. After sitting in on a few mock classes and speaking to the professors, I knew that University of San Francisco was where I wanted to spend my next four years studying. Any doubts I had about leaving my home state of Washington to become a USF student vanished - I commited to USF that day!... Read 2,322 reviews

Sophomore: Attending De Anza was a great experience. I received my first AA in 1999. Since then, I have taken more classes, either as a fun learning opportunity or to help me advance in my career. During the lockdown, I went back to De Anza for another AA degree, which is great segue for my current educational experience-MBA (which is another review!). As a student at De Anza, at various points over the past 20 years I feel that I have a good perspective on the school - it is worth your time and energy! The education is top notch, the instructors care, and all the staff are ready to support yo uin all stages of your academic journey!... Read 1,181 reviews

Sophomore: My experience so far at west valley has been really great. I've taken lots of asynchronous, synchronous, and in-person classes. Many professors at this school are very understanding and want to support you in every way they can. West valley also has amazing counselors that are so helpful when it comes to meeting transfer or graduation requirements. For any students considering going to a community college in the San Jose area, I would recommend West Valley!... Read 512 reviews

Freshman: Man, my experience at DVC has been fun! I've had some awesome moments here and genuinely enjoy spending my time here. The classes and courses they offer are no joke. I've had the chance to explore a bunch of different subjects that I'm genuinely interested in. The professors really know their stuff and are pretty enthusiastic about teaching. Learning from someone who's passionate about what they're teaching just makes the whole experience so much better. Plus, they've got online options, which saved my schedule more than a few times! The campus itself is pretty sweet. There are spots to chill and study all around, and the library is a lifesaver during crunch times. The counseling and career services have been super helpful in guiding me through my academic and future career plans. All in all, my time at DVC has been great. The diversity, the courses, and the resources are all amazing, and I'm glad to be a part of this community and excited to see how things evolve!... Read 1,173 reviews

Sophomore: My time at Chabot College was truly incredible. The teachers were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and always willing to assist me in any way they could. One standout aspect of Chabot was the TAG program, which played a pivotal role in helping students gain admission to the school. The TAG program, in particular, stood out as a unique opportunity for prospective students. It exemplified Chabot's commitment to making education accessible. By assisting students in navigating the admissions process and ensuring they met the requirements Overall, my experience at Chabot College was nothing short of amazing. The combination of excellent educators, a supportive atmosphere, and innovative programs like TAG made my time there both fulfilling and impactful. I am truly grateful for the opportunities I had and the knowledge I gained during my time at Chabot.... Read 581 reviews

Alum: Contra Costa College was an amazing school for guiding first time students and returning students. Students here were able to go at their own pace while still being able to hold a job and pay for school. This school should be everyone's first step/introduction to college because it was manageable and did a lot for the students. It's a smart move to do community college first. I think some things that can change in on campus would probably offering more classes, especially for the art department. They should allocate their money back into education instead of cutting down on funds.... Read 432 reviews
