I was at LATTC from 2014-2017 I took all my classes here while in high school had alot of Amazing teachers. When i didn't want to go to school (highschool) I would come here to the library on the second floor and studied or catch up on work I needed to do. Who would of thought I would have been a student from 2014-2017 with a HS and college diploma

Great campus only a couple of blocks away from the Staples Center and Downtown LA if taking the train. Minutes away from fine dining and local restaurants in downtown LA if taking the Dash bus. Overall amazing campus with great friendly people to meet with. Teachers care about your education at this campus. Lots of students are involved in clubs.

LATTC is a great community college. The staff are very supportive and attentive; there is a lot of learning opportunities and other opportunities to gain and grow from. A nice campus and they are always making improvements. Police on site and active, clean, and teachers are overall great! A food truck on site, and cafeteria is a solid 4 out of 5.

I took Comm 101 (speech class) at this college & received an F after the instructor chose to flunk me for failure to maintain eye contact,related to a disability. Despite my attempts to elect the grievance process,I could not prove this instructor's clearly hostile personality. Lazy professors & a corrupt administration loose with the money.

The Architecture program is a joke.
Overall 1.3
This school has become an absolute ghost town. My academic career has plummeted because of this school. They make everything as inconvenient as possible for students, dont pick up the phone, there is no real cafeteria, there is no one around to even talk to, there are practically no events, good luck finding anyone to help you with anything here.
Overall 1.3
will not recommend this college at all . Over all I give it a 3 maybe a 4
Overall 1.4
Absolutely horrendous location, not only that but the selection of English professors are more than disappointing. They are so disorganized, they don’t even set up their canvas account so i can’t know my grade, English should honestly be eradicated from this place since they don’t take it serious.
Overall 1.7
Not a good place for training for industry. Companies are cautious to hire from lattc students.
Overall 1.8
Will never recommend this college to one.

The University of Southern California (USC) has very recently decided to deny transfer credit for Astronomy 1 & 5 from LATTC,I suspect,because they want students to take it with USC so USC makes money. Both LATTC & USC are greedy institutions riddled with corruption. I suggest transferring to a private liberal arts or christian university.
