I decided to come back to school after becoming a single mom. I did have previous credits from going there after graduation in 2017. Advice is join EOPS if you can. Do you FAFSA to get all the financial help possible and sign up for the scholarships that they have. The professors there are there to help dont be shy to ask questions. Join Clubs:)

Too much Bureaucracy, not green friendly(running fountains), needs more practical parking options, professors don't stay, poor food choices and lack of locations to eat, lack of shaded seating, 4 out of the 7 professors i've had are more scared of being fired then helping students, refuse to allow professors to teach in there own style.

The counseling center was atrocious. I literally had to wait around 3 weeks after each appointment just to have 20 min chat with them each time. Just to find out that these idiot counselors need to look up 'punctuality' in a dictionary (for being carelessly late) and give me the wrong info on transfer/graduation on top of that.
