I love De Anza college very much. The campus is beautiful, very nice for study. The library is the great place I always stay. There are various classes options. I came here just for learning English. I didn't declare any major. I made a lot of friends here and I also knew many of them already got transfer offer from UC schools.

BEWARE FOLKS. IT'S YOUR GRADES, YOUR MONEY, AND YOUR TIME. DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU ONLY TO GET WHAT YOU NEED FROM THIS SCHOOL! GOOD LUCK! COUNSELING DEPARTMENT IS WORTHLESS & UNRELIABLE. With the exception of a few counselors that are actually helpful, all you will get is disappointment and bad advice! Use at your own risk.

De Anza College Is Very OVERRATED. You Can Get A Good Education Anywhere Just As Long As You Make The Best Out Of It. Don't Let The Bells & Whistles or Smoke & Mirrors At This Place Fool You.

Very inefficient, professors are a handful to deal with

I was going to give this school a better score for safety but then I remembered a trans student was attacked on campus and the facility felt it was better to bury the story rather than panic students. Their Covid handling lead to teachers coughing up blood, so can’t call it safe from their perspective either.
Overall 1.9
Not the best school. Classes are mundane and lack substance. You learn nothing from the majority of coursework. Profeasors rant too much about irrelevant topics like donald trump. 2 out of 10 professors I had here were good, I'd give them an A. The rest were C because the content of classes was average but not thought provoking, otherwise an F

There are only two good chem profs. Good luck graduating on time especially when their courses are always full.

Overrated college. People say its better than it is. Classes arent thought provoking and lack substance. This is a place to get an easy A and transfer. Lots of student visas so they give out A's to everyone. Not much learning done. Theres a strong radical progressive agenda and they dont like conservative views here. teachers rant about trump alot
