Ive been to two community colleges and Los Medanos is by far the greatest community college ever. Everyone that is part of the staff is so incredibly friendly and the students there are as well.

My experience at LMC was the best. The professors are friendly and ready to assist students equipping me with ideal skills that promote academic and career excellence. My professor for the speech communication course was engaging and timely responding to my concerns about the course while guiding me through class-based lessons and lectures.

Although I have graduated (with Honors) and continue my academic journey at a University, I continue to take courses at LMC. I love and remember where I started. I enjoy visiting with professors and maintaining friendships and connections at LMC. I feel safe, happy, and engaged here. I plan on taking more courses to continue learning.

I love this campus personally. It’s in Pittsburgh not Walnut Creek. It’s always clean that I see, lots of support and programs. They have great funding because they can afford cadavers for anatomy, great lunches, and lovely library. Highly recommended!

Bad reviews
Overall 1.5
What was bad got worse when Covid 19 shut the school down. Elevator constantly broken, and the design felt like a prison. After closing the teachers handed out more work. MORE work on top of everything already crammed into each syllabus. Classes that were packed at the beginning and ghost towns by the end. About 10 students showed for the final.
