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 1,789 reviews

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!...

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 1,047 reviews

Alum: OCC is one of the biggest and, arguably, one of the best community colleges in the nation. They boast a large variety of majors and programs for students to explore. My experience with the counselors have been amazing, as they helped me complete the credits I needed for transfer and discover the right major for me. As a two-year college, the classes offered are mostly lower division general education classes. OCC offers an associates degree or certification for almost every major available. The facilities on campus are well maintained with brand new buildings across campus, including the college center, student union, literature & language building, and (my favorite) the planetarium. You’ll be able to meet and learn along side a diverse population of students coming to study from across the country and the world. With a beautiful campus, a large variety of majors, and amazing staff, I couldn’t recommend OCC more!... Read 1,156 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 787 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 345 reviews

Sophomore: This is a great school. The curriculum is great and all of the professors are easy to deal with. The EOPS and Guardian Scholars counselors are very hands on and thorough. I went into the admissions office not having the slightest idea where to begin, and they did EVERYTHING they could to ease my jitters and guide me down my path. Now I will be transferring to a Cal Sate University all because the EOPS counselors informed me about the AA-T, which was new to me. I couldn't be more grateful or satisfied with my community college experience, minus covid coming in and making virtual/ remote learning a thing.... Read 583 reviews

Alum: I was impressed with the level of education I received from Chaffey College! The professors are knowledgeable and passionate about their subject, which made learning pleasurable. They provided helpful feedback and great resources for studying. The school even offers free money to its student for books, supplies, food and other things at the bookstore. Chaffey offers a wide range of courses and majors. The college also provides a diverse set of extracurricular activities. There were also plenty of student services available, such as counseling and tutoring, which was very helpful. The campus itself was beautiful and well-maintained. There were a variety of amenities available. One thing I would recommend is bettering the student life. The college did not have too much of a priority regarding events and activities for students to participate in. Overall, I had a positive experience and would recommend Chaffey College for anyone looking for a quality educational experience.... Read 1,236 reviews

Freshman: Located in Los Angeles, California, LA City is a public university. It is a modest university with 3,469 undergraduate students enrolled. 100% of applicants are accepted by LA City. Liberal arts and humanities, business, and child care provider are all well-liked majors. Alumni of LA City graduate in 28% of cases, and their beginning pay is $20,400. I adore the staff and student body's diversity and vigor. The section of film and television production is excellent! The department received a $2,000,000 investment from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for new machinery, editing software, and other improvements. This is unquestionably the most reasonably priced film school in California or the entire nation, with excellent faculty and a top-notch curriculum. Los Angeles City College offers a wide range of tools and programs for students of any degree, kind, age, ethnicity, or disability. My time there has been genuinely enjoyable. Los Angeles City College is good overall.... Read 822 reviews

Freshman: I love CBD college. I was enrolled in hybrid program for surgical technologist. The first nine month everything was online. The second nine months, I only attended two times per week in college for lab classes. The teachers were very educated and well informed. They helped me every time I needed help. The instructors are more than happy to spend the extra time with you to make sure you are able to succeed in the program. I loved studying at CBD college. The staff is awesome. They helped me out from the beginning. From the start, the admissions reps was very helpful and gave me all the information immediately on the process of applying. The admissions rep was very Informative with the process and answered all my questions. The application process was easy and fast. I highly recommend this school. They have many different programs that can be completed online, hybrid or at school. CBD college was one of the best decisions I have made in preparing me for a new career and passing exam...

Junior: Personally, I believe Moreno Valley College is a relatively good school for individuals looking to obtain credits through their general education requirements without having to pay a huge tuition. At the same time, the campus is often a calm environment, allowing students to have space to socialize or simply work on their assignments. In addition, since this is a community college, there is no distinct athletic programs or party scenes. Depending on the course the student is taking, the professors and their course outline tends to vary. However, they are always willing to connect you to countless resources whether it is with tutoring with themselves or through the campus itself.... Read 456 reviews

Freshman: American Career College has been amazing. To start they are very encouraging and know how to motivate everyone. They have unlimited resources for all students. They have a good understanding that things happen in our daily lives and are always willing to help with one as long as there is good communication. They are reassuring that there is always a way to work things out and get through any obstacles. It’s starts with you giving it your best effort. The instructors are great! The lectures are constructed in a way that everyone can understand clearly. Not just memorization. I like the events they have on campus every month. It helps easy the stress of exams and deadlines. It makes my experience at school much more enjoyable. They remind us that it’s fine to study and work hard but it’s important to enjoy the process. The other classes that are ahead are also willing to help with any questions, concerns or tips to be successful in our career.This has made me feel much better to finish.... Read 196 reviews
