Community college always had a bad reputation-like you didn't try hard in high school so this is your only option. WELL, let those people think that because I had never thought I would enjoy college. Plenty of resources, endless clubs, organizations, and ways to be involved. Try everything, go to everything, use Saddleback to your advantage!!

I absolutely love this school. The councilors are fantastic, they truly go above and beyond to help us as students. You can tell that the professors love what they do . I'm going to be so sad when I finally have to leave! I've been here for 7 years, switched my major, and am now in the nursing program. I couldn't have asked for a better school.

Everything is great but what makes this college number one is the staff and most instructors. This is my experience.

Hate it!!!!

This school is so depressing and had some of the worst scholar experiences ever there. The bunnies are nice though, but that's about it.

depressing architecture, extremely overpriced food, parking after 9 am on mondays and wednesdays requires stupidly circling every lot for up to half an hour, completely dead social scene, counselors who encourage you to take like 12 units per semester so that you end up staying for 3-4 years. my advice: load up on credits and get out of here ASAP

I will be graduated on the fall 2019. It is a almost done but during the more than two years that I was studying at the college, I saw several time discrimination and in unrespectful behavior from employees specifice on book store and tutoring center. In the last time I emailed to the president of college but it is still without respond.

College offers little to no help when in need of office hours, counciling tutoring centers. They just love to set you up to fail and steal all of your hard earned cash. I've had a horrible experience at Saddleback. Faculty and students don't care about each other. Depressing and disgusting campus, littered with trash. Glad I'm never coming back.

Some of the office staff in various departments of the student center are the stupidest, most unhelpful people you will find on campus. Good profs here and there tho. Social life nonexistent, ghost clubs, class registration is a fight with survival of the fittest, close to no opportunities of anything besides taking classes and getting good grades.
