Categories Comments Campus Safety Very friendly security guards coupled with a very honest student body.
Greek Life None
Clubs and Activities 20+ clubs on campus all lead by a very active Associated Student government. Phi Zeta Beta (honors society) took 4th Internationally this year!
Great for these types of students If you like small colleges with one to one relations with your professors this would be great college for you. If you come from somewhere with a lot of trees, Cañada can make you feel at home.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Cañada College is on top of a hill overlooking the Bay from San Francisco to San Jose. Most of the parking lots have phenomenal views and often you'll find various students sitting and enjoying this view in their cars.
Bang for the buck 46 Dollars a unit for residents...302 for non-residents
What to do for fun There is basketball, football, American football, a fully functional workout center, and oddly enough there always seems to be a group of 'Frisbee-ers' on campus. Also a plethora of computers bring a lot of 'lan' gaming.
Food and Dining Brand new as of this years is The Grove, a completely modern cafe/cafeteria that serves all 'grade A' meats. As a student at Cañada you benefit from residing in a large district but going to a relatively small school. Many, many choices of what to eat. Daily 'chef specials' and there is always free stuff if you buy one thing or another.
Dorm Life No dorms as of 2012
Academic Rigor I give this a four out of five not because it lacks difficulty but because it's up to you how hard you want to make it on yourself. You can choose easy professors and squeeze by learning the absolute minimum, or you can challenge yourself for what your really their to earn; a higher education.
Tips for prospective students Cañada College can be a great stepping stone to a top rated four year if you let it. Get involved on campus and you'll find truth behind their slogan from here you can go anywhere.
In three sentences The professors on campus are some of the best you'll find at any community college and in many cases they're nationally rated. Well compensated for their time, professors here are there to stay, and they really care deeply for their students. It also doesn't hurt that the college is on top of a hill and has a beautiful view of the entire bay.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus just look around you when you are walking up one of the 100 stairs and see what a beautiful view and location~
What to do for fun its the bay area everything... don't forget to get a student id .... you can use it to get discounts~
Food and Dining 2 snack places and bookstore, cafeteria is being re done
Academic Rigor wide selection
Tips for prospective students use all the resources offered, they seem lame at first but can lead you in the direction you really want to go and save you a lot of time and money. huge sign in and out of learning center and the library that is how they get paid and keep the existing services... which are totally free --- one on one ---- tutors ---- free!
In three sentences canada has an abundance of helpful departments. they ask if you need help, direct you to the right help and set you up with an actual person to help you. the best part is the person can really help you and is extremely happy to!

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security patrols the campus day and night, so that students are always safe.
Clubs and Activities From sports to frats, dance events, Canada college offers a wide range of activities.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I love to ride my back on the quite road behind campus where many cyclists prefer the beautiful views and sweet air.
Bang for the buck This school is perfect for the student who prefers a peaceful atmosphere compared to city colleges, which on most cases can be over crowded, making it harder to get the classes you want.
What to do for fun Their are many student events that go on throughout the year. A few are the Olive festival and the Artistry in Fashion.
Food and Dining Their is a new Cafeteria with variety of foods choices and the ambiance is relaxing and pleasant.
Tips for prospective students If you are planning to go to Canada College in Redwood City I recommend you make in an appt. or walk-in to see a counselor. The counselor can provide you with all the information you need to get a plan organized and explains financial aid opportunities. The sooner you make an appt. the better because you want to leave enough time to meet the deadlines on classes, financial aid, grants and scholarships.
In three sentences Canada college is located in beautiful hills of redwood city overlooking serene mountains. The campus has new additions and a modern appeal. The class options, staff and resources are limitless.

What to do for fun Canada is located about 30 minutes from San Fransisco and 30 minutes from San Jose. It is right off I280. There is everything from crazy night life to calm walks through the redwood tree forests.
Food and Dining At the time I was there, they were rebuilding the cafeteria so I didn't get to try that food, but the other vendors on site were good.
