I have been to many universities and different schools. Cabrillo College was the only school that truly delivered on their promises. I have been to San Jose State University, UMass, and Brandman University; and Cabrillo was the most rewarding and valuable.

Cabrillo College is a great school by far. I started off doing pre reqs for nursing and I am now in the nursing program. This school has supported me fully throughout my time here so far. Great ppl, Great food and overall a perfect school to start at. I plan on furthering my education and appreciating all the help im receiving to be my best self.

Cabrillo has great professors and counselors. I have had a great experience thus far these past two semesters after taking a big gap in furthering my education. The counselors are great to work with when figuring out an academic plan. Highly recommend. Aptos campus is easy to get to and plenty of resources to study or apply for scholarships.

Better than any University or State college you will ever attend. The teachers actually care about your individual success, they push you hard, and you are well prepared for the "lower" education you will transfer to.

It's okay.

A few excellent professors; however, most are arrogantignorant. Their online canvas system couldn't be more convoluted and glitchy. Professor Chris Younge took advantage of this and failed me in class that has nothing to do with industrial engineering. Now; because of Cabrillo's stupid e-tech program I can not transfer to a real school.
