I took courses for this campus online so I can't speak too much on the food and things like that, but the courses I've taken were very informative and I feel like I'm finishing them with a lot of new knowledge.

Best graphic design program, hands down.

I enjoyed the convenience of the online class and how all assignments were accessible at any time. It helped me finish at my pace. The part I liked the least was not getting to know the rest of the class. In the future I would assign a group assignment so we could get to know each other better and the other classmates. I learned a lot more about ov

I prefer smaller school settings and the way that this campus is broken up over a couple of blocks gives it the feel that its quaint. I usually have last classes and walk to the trolley in the dark and there are emergency booths installed all around campus that makes me feel better. The professors are amazing and I've met really great friends there

Convenient if you use public transportation. My professors were average, social life is nonexistent but it is a commuter school. Didn't really enjoy my time at City.
Overall 1.7
The campus is surrounded by homeless encampments. This school falsely advertises the support of African American students and gives preferential treatment to their Latino/Latina counterparts. FA, Promise and EOPS are elitist, and lack the appropriate communication and competency to fulfill duties effectively. You are better off at Miramar or Mesa.
Overall 1.7
Awful.
Overall 1.8
Worst school I ever went to and I regret it soo much. I should have went to Grossmont. The professors either give an immense amount of work load or none at all leaving 2 quizzes to choose your grade.

The maturity level in the lower level courses can be pretty low. You'll have students talking, chatting on their phones, listening to music on headphones, and generally being rude in the middle of class. Luckily this behavior dissipates as you ascend in course difficulty. It's an ok place to knock out some courses but don't expect scholarship.
Overall 1.9
An alright place to knock out general ed requirements or other prerequisites. The quality of the instruction isn't high but it's a decent start if you're hoping to advance to the next level of education and are diligent. The lack of food on campus is bothersome but hopefully the new construction will resolve that.
