Professors are great and really care about academic success. There are many opportunities to get involved on campus you just have to be diligent and also educate yourself.
Overall 4.5
Over the course of years I have been taking classes and perhaps in the beginning my effort was not the best, but they saw the change and it was because of all the community of teachers coming together as one. Sometimes you need guidance and support and you can find this here more than anywhere. Not sure when I will graduate but this was required.

Very good school. Highly recommended.

Great school! Lots of opportunities if you're willing to take them. Plenty of good teachers, clubs, and events at skyline. The campus itself has been remodeled and looks very beautiful and well taken care of. HIGHLY recommend if you're looking to transfer and save thousands of dollars or if you're just looking to take a few classes on your own.

Bad reviews

Be warned there are no opportunities here. They host career fairs however the only companies that hire are only retail stores so don't expect an actual internship, but it is expected for a community college. The food is terribly overpriced the food is often undercooked and the school does not give any support to those who need financial aid.
Overall 1.4
no social life here.

This is definitely a commuter school.. Most students are not outgoing at all. Basically, 90% of students go here cause its cheaper than State. don't expect to get a lot of help from most teachers. Ok if you need prereqs for a university. Lots of foreign students , so you better speak more than one language if you want a study group.

It felt like I was back in middle school. To say I didn't enjoy my time here would be an understatement.

Go to CSM instead. There are some good professors here, but there are some awful professors here, particularly in the English department. The campus is small and really old. CSM has better professors and a better campus.
