Amazing school! Great location and beautiful views. Best professors and teaching methods than your average community college. The staff here is knowledgeable and respectful. You will only be able to reap the benefits of this campus if you apply yourself because the opportunities are there.

Honestly, I haven't found one bad thing to say about this school. The staff has been extremely friendly, and helpful. I've attended extra curricular activities, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed some of the presentations. West Los Angeles College has made the process of furthering my education extremely fun, and easy. 10/10, I would recommend.

The campus is gorgeous and the vibe is friendly and chill. Most are really great professors but math and sciences need a bit better profs. It is a great school overall.

Great choice for numerous online classes and certificates. Being part of LACCD, you’re able to complete courses that are at other campuses. Professors are mostly interactive and want you to succeed. Admin are helpful but not always responsive. Counselors are knowledgeable. Love that it’s a smaller environment but offers many amenities. Safe!

worst college ever i would imagine. messed everything up for transfer and didnt know what was going on.

Took a week of calling and an email stating their unprofessionalism for them to call me back. Not very professional or put together. They don't try to make you want to go to their college. And their email addresses are near impossible to find on their website it took me an hour to find the right one.

Getting in contact with a counselor takes a miracle. If you're an online student, you won't get an SEP unless you go in person. If you live out of the area/state, too bad. The expected poor quality from administrators and staff at community colleges is exactly what you get here, nothing new. At the source of every issue, they're not at fault.

not much here, get your classes , and transfer to a reputable university.
Overall 1.9
Social aspect is meh as with most CC's but you never have problems parking or getting classes. The offices are hard to get a hold of and the I've had counselors give me terrible advice and almost set me back in my timeframe to transfer. But overall gets the job done and you'll have a good gpa to get you to transfer to pretty much anywhere.

Now that most classes are held in the new SSB and GC buildings, and financial aid, admissions and academic counseling services are available in the new admin. building, instead of being spread out all over campus in temporary bungalows, things are much improved on the WLAC campus.

You always find a parking spot even in the first week. The professors vary, some of them are really great, and others are not.
Overall 2
They need to have more training for instructors or something... obviously has more of the buisness feel than an academic feel. They don't push acadeimc success, thats why it takes 5 years to transfer and the actual rate is only 11%. They get paid "either way" as one instructor put it
Overall 2
no cafeteria.
