I have recently graduated CCSF in 2022, I would like to say that CCSF will be one of the best school that you will ever attend. CCSF provide a great chance for first generation immigrant like I do. Plenty of assistances and opportunities have been provided by amazing faculties and awesome professors. Strongly recommend CCSF.

Bad location, professors that dont care and/or simply are horrible at teaching(class of 30+ down to under 10 by end of semester? Cant blame the students there), poor counselors, horrible food, WiFi not working more than half the time, disconnective clubs, and classes with never enough room. Dont go here.

The school is a complete joke.

Attending this school was a nightmare. Administration and teachers are horrendous. I needed a counselor to sign off on me taking 18 units my freshman year and he said he'd only do it if I helped him go to the bathroom. So disturbing. People get robbed in the gym locker room. I couldn't imagine myself ever graduating while I was a student here.

Being an out-of-state student, I left my home to move to the big city of San Francisco to experience something more. And boy did I experience something more. There is basically no social life here, professors are mediocre (with an exception of two that were amazing), and confusing residency office. Great place for some, not for others.

We got emails from CCSF police of several robberies nearby and on-campus. Don't wear expensive things because there are always people watching you and non-students are freely roaming the campus, they can enter anywhere. There's lack of community, every student just go to class then go home. No socialization and lack social events.

Most of the teachers act like they don’t want to be there. Many expect you to teach yourself everything. Might as well just read the textbooks on your own. Campus life is nonexistent.
Overall 1.6
This school needs to hire better professors. We actually need teachers who teach... People want to learn, but also want to pass... I know there are really good professors, but on the other hand there are more than half that are good. You are paying for college so yeah. And the food is very expensive for people who moved fromfaraway even immigrants

City college of San Francisco is one worst community college in the bay for many reason, firstly the students very rude the staff half of the time does not even know what things are going on. Last but not least not recommending to study or get your degress at ccsf.
Overall 1.7
Many programs at city college of San Francisco should removed as fraud and scams such as Gateway to College highly not recommended.
Overall 1.8
This school seems widely underfunded, partially because of the free tuition, and underpaid teachers. The students aren't very motivated to be here, and the facilities are behind compared to modern times
