Its not anywhere I would pay money to be again. I went because they have an aba approved paralegal program. The campus is very ghetto.

This is a joke of a college. I regret attending El Centro. It is surrounded by hobos and disrespectful people and vandals. It always seems nasty and funky. However it tuition is cheap so what do you expect. Final verdict, you get what you pay for.
Overall 1.3
This place has probably one of the worst, if not the worst, staff ever. No one cares about the students. They are not helpful at all. Professors here are rude. Administration does not want to help with anything.
Overall 1.3
This school is very bad. Most students seem to know more than the teachers. If you can find some other school go some where else. Try to figure out your own degree plan because the counselors are more confused than you are. Overall a bad experience. Go elsewhere if you can.
Overall 1.4
School is trashy and unsafe. Must take DART bus or pay 7 bucks to park. Financial aid and registration is a joke. The nursing school is nicer but the teachers are awful, don't care about you and all hate their jobs. The dean is terrible and impossible to deal with. Would not recommend this as a nursing school.
Overall 1.7
The administrators at the school are unhelpful and do not care at all. Do not bother with calling and leaving a message because they do not return them; plus they are never in their office apparently. I have been to other dcccd campuses and this one has been the absolute worst of them all. If needing to take science courses go to NLC.

The campus were very trashy. I got hit up and hit on a lot by random bums that wandered into the building. Bathrooms are gross as heck. The whole campus is pretty much crammed into one building so there's not a lot of breathing room. Heard this campus is one of the worst in DCCCD, and would have to agree. Good math teachers though.
