Great school!! I went here to get my AA in psychology. I loved almost every professor I had & only had issues with two professors. The counselors were very understanding and helpful!

Work load isn't much, but does that really help students? Overall an okay community college.

Great school with caring professors. It is also in a great location that is secluded with vegetation and turkeys around the school. Its not a party school if that's what you're looking for.

The office ladies in Morgan Hill could care less about you. I asked to meet with a counselor they never made eye contact, and just said she won't be here in 2 weeks. She never attempted to help me or suggest other ideas. On the door it says counselor comes every Wednesday. This is the second incident, the first they just chatted amongst themselves.

I've had so many poor experiences . For one, I have not seen any improvements since I started attending. They have security, but they only come out to give parking tickets. The other day someone's car was stolen. I was going to meet with a counselor and they stopped working 10 minutes before they were scheduled. Website isn't even all set up yet.

Wouldn't recommend ever going here. No one cares about your education. Horrible college experience.
Overall 1.3
None.

I would avoid this CC if you want to study STEM. The facility is lacking. There isn't enough classes of Chem,Physics, and Math per semester. The instructors are tenures who are subpar. The classes are falling a part. The physics department is lacking. The timing of the classes are odd. STEM isn't Gav's strong suit. I suggest somewhere than place.
Overall 1.4
Inter net is slow. Campus small, but needs a face lift. Student clubs not happing. Food is pricy and not good. There's not enough councilors to help you.

Its a nice campus, but needs to be better.
Overall 1.8
I wouldn't be surprised if Gavilan College ceased operation soon. There's a lot of bad instructors, and classes aren't easily filled. For example, they recently tried to add Chinese courses, and they've had to cancel several Chinese courses according to the course addendum. Unfortunately, people aren't socially inclined and even toxic and rude.

Great location! But college needs improvement.
