Campus Safety	very safe
What to do for fun	Alameda isn't a big entertainment city but they have great restaurant.
Food and Dining	I don't eat much from the cafeteria, but whenever I do it isn't pleasant.
Dorm Life	This campus does not have dorms
Academic Rigor	Outside of finals the academic rigor isn't too intense. I've been attending Alameda for 2 years and have yet to have a Professor that is strict beyond reason.
Tips for prospective students	Make sure you keep a good line of communication with a counselor. Try to keep a open relationship with your professor, they are always willing to provide help when available.
In three sentences	College of alameda is a very diverse campus. The teachers ragne in age, which is great because one course can come very every perspective. The campus is very relaxing.
