Categories Comments Great for these types of students In my point of view this college is for any type of student who really wants to be successful in their future.
Tips for prospective students Tips are apply and register early becasue classes do fill up quickly. Also apply for resources such as EOP&S, CARE, etc. This programs help students with books transportation, etc.
Bang for the buck Now at this college the Financial Aid office does really help you a lot because they will tell you if you qualified for any of the aids available, if you don't then they will tell you to apply for lots of scholarships available that will match your criteria.
Am enjoying being here At first I thought I was not going enjoy being here for the reason I thought that this college was not for me because it was in my own community. But fortunately that change. After few weeks that the Fall 2009 semester started I got to meet new friends in my classes, and they are very kind. So I change my point of view of this college, don't judge something by it's cover. Now I do enjoy being here at Compton College.
Am learning a lot Compton Center is a place you can really learn because the professors go every single objective and if you can understand they can really help you or if not there is a building just for students who need extra help in any subject. Yes, I am learning at this specific college because every question I have my professors are there to help.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I attend school in the evening ant the campus police is always patroling when I arrive as well as when I am walking to my car.
Clubs and Activities Student life has plenty of clubs for student to be involved with.
Great for these types of students There are evening classes available for students who work full time or are busy during the day. The school also offers online classes for some of the subjects so there is no excuse for not at least trying to make it work
What to do for fun There are plenty of student life activities to get involved with where you can bond with fellow students and at the same time give back to your school.
Food and Dining The food is what I guess should be expected, I wish that it was an opportunity for the students to work there instead of it being contracted out to a third party.
Dorm Life El Camino is a jr. college so there are no dorms on campus
Tips for prospective students I would say, go in with a positive attitude and be willing to ask questions if you do not know something. Remember, they are there to help YOU and they want you to suceed so have confidence in yourself and go for it. If I can do it and get good grades I know anyone can.
In three sentences El Camino has been a great school for me. The staff is always willing to help to find the best fit for me. The financial aid department is very patient and really want you to succeed.The professors have all shown that they really care about the students and are always available to discuss your concerns, they have made going back to school a lot easier than I expected.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The safety here is very nice. Although it is Compton, not many bad things have happened here since I registered. The only thing that I remember was a flasher running around, but they caught him right away.
Clubs and Activities There are not that many clubs or activities here, but there are a few. They offer tutoring for many math and sciences.
Great for these types of students Great for people who want to do nursing, since the nursing program offered here is good. This college is also great for people who are into sports.
Bang for the buck There are better school out there, but if you really need classes it is an okay school. I just wish there were more caring teachers here.
What to do for fun What you can do for fun is to hang out and exercise at the front of the school. There is a mini gym there that is located outdoors. Another thing to do for fun is to go hang out in the library if you have gaps in between classes.
Food and Dining The lunch here is pretty good. I have no complaints for the food. The cooks and cashier are respectful here and there are plenty of choices from Mexican food to burgers.
Dorm Life There are no dorms here this is a community college.
Academic Rigor Very few teachers actually care about your education here, they just want to teach. If you want to just take classes and pass that is fine, but if you really want to learn you might want to think twice.
Tips for prospective students Make sure to get a lot of help when going through the registration process, the admissions office does not really help you much. Also, make sure to have your own laptop, because the school's technology is limited.
In three sentences I rate this school as an okay school. The teachers vary from non caring to helpful. The good thing is that registration does not get to full here. The worst thing about the school is the low funding for supplies.

Did enjoy being here One thing about this school is you have to remember its very DIVERSE. Meaning you have various ages,various ethinicities,and different backgrounds.
Did learn a lot El Co Compton is GREAT. There are some not so nice professors but every school has the professors. As long as you be respectful,do you classwork, and take notes you should be fine.

Categories Comments Food and Dining The food at the cafeteria is pretty good, although it is rather expensive.
Dorm Life There aren't any dorms.
Academic Rigor The classes here are fairly easy. Of course if you are taking rigorous courses like Trigonometry, or Bio-Chemical Engineering, or something like that, then of course there is going to be some difficulty. Overall, the professors are understanding and not hard to please.
In three sentences El Camino College-Compton is a decent school to attend. It does not necessarily pass the eye test for how an ideal college campus would look, but it isn't a bad place to attend. Especially if you are in need of classes to receive your AA degree, then El Camino College-Compton would be a good spot for you. It is fairly easy to get classes, so there isn't much stress for trying to get into classes.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck Very economical if you are trying to pay less than the average CSU
What to do for fun There is a park next door with a beautiful pond, a golfing club and the mall is only 5 minutes away. The beach is withing 10-15 minutes from school so the area is perfect

Dorm Life No dorm.
Academic Rigor Although the work is hard, make sure to get teachers who explain it their own way. That is very helpful when it comes to learning the material.

In three sentences A variety of classes are available and all of the teachers i've had have been great. Beautiful environment and people are very helpful and friendly. However, parking is a hassle.
