    Great for these types of students

    Want to get a headstart on their education without having to pay university price, or who want to go back to college after a hiatus.

    Am enjoying being here

    The atmosphere is relaxed. The student center almost always has an event or two going on for the students' benefits. Whether a concert, a live speaker, or even small shopping booths, something is always happening.

    Am learning a lot

    The professors here at Palo Alto are always willing to help you. Also, the Learning Centers provide additional help in case you need just a little extra studying!

    Great for these types of students

    This place is great for first time students because it gives them the opportunity to see how college life is about. They won't make a mistake on a decision on a school they decided to go. So Palo Alto College is a great place to begin a career.

    Bang for the buck

    This school is a good place where your money does not get thrown away. Getting in is very affordable many students do not think they could go to college and they see that they could afford it and get a career. This school is very helpful for people that really needed.

    Am enjoying being here

    I really do enjoy being here because I have made so many friends here already. For me personally is great, it is close to home, so many things I can do to pass time and its a clean environment.

    Am learning a lot

    Great for these types of students

    Its a great choice of college if you want to get started on your studies and then transfer to a four year college. You can transfer all your credits easily to the university of choice within the state.

    Tips for prospective students

    When you make your schedule consider the time and how you are gonna get from one class to another.

    Bang for the buck

    Oh yea and this college is very affordable. I am getting help from financial aid and paying for tuition is not as bad as paying for a four year university.

    Will enjoy being here

    I only been to student orientation and i got to see how nice the college looks from the inside and out. The people there are friendly and the staff is very patient and helpful.

    Will learn a lot

    I will attend palo alto this fall and i am already going to attend a math course next week. This course is meant to help my math skills for the accuplacer and i am glad this college has this math summer session because its useful for anybody who wants to improve their skills in math.

    Great for these types of students

    If you want to be a scientist, mathematician, historian, photographer, or pretty much anything, this as a great place to start. They have a good veterinarian program. If you are pre-nursing or pre-med, you can get the classes you need to move on the university level. They offer classes in aviation, business, and education. You can even receive an associate of applied science in turfgrass (turgrass and golf course management).

    Tips for prospective students

    PAC is the place to go if you are working for an associate degree or considering a two-plus-two plan. Its location in the South-side of SA is very convenient for students in southern Bexar county and for those in northern Atascosa county. If you are out-of-state, there are apartments nearby. If you are fearful that you will not do well in a college environment, rest assured, they do their very best to make students feel at home. The learning center offers tutoring for math, writing, and science. The computer labs are great, and the library provides sufficient sources for research.

    Bang for the buck

    Financial aid is very helpful, and the scholarships students get are an answer to their prayers. PAC is very affordable. Because they offer so many different courses, most of which are transferable, the price of less than $2,000 a semester for full-time students is not bad at all. You get the same education for less.

    Am enjoying being here

    PAC has culture. The unique culture of San Antonio spills out throughout the entire campus. The buildings remind students of the Spanish Missions nearby and the new red building that can be seen miles away expresses the Hispanic heritage of San Antonio. The faculty is helpful, and students are friendly. The small classes help to enhance the learning experience.

    Am learning a lot

    There are a vast variety of learning opportunities here at PAC. Whether it is in the classroom, in the library, or on display, learning here is a good experience.

    As Stated in my Am Learning a lot box, the teachers here are cream of the crop in my stand point and for a community college price you can't beat the level of education that the students will receive.

    Am enjoying being here

    Palo Alto always has some type of event going on. It can be the music classes putting on a show for us or the debate team showing their skills in the Cafeteria.

    Am learning a lot

    Palo Alto is a great facility filled with a great choice of grade A teachers that make learning fun and not just work. Of Course you will have to do your part. Palo Alto offers culture and a certain amount of freedom that many students such as myself really seem to enjoy.

    Campus Safety

    The college once in awhile will have crime alerts such as theft, but as long as you are not careless, forgetful, and not leave your things lying around, you will be alright. The college police are quite strict and are always roaming around. Night classes are a little harder for them notice anything but there are only a handful of classes that are at night.

    Clubs and Activities

    They have a lot of clubs that you can be apart of. PAC always has a spring festival. Throughout each semester, they always have free food and prizes. They also take the students to certain places like LaserQuest, bowling, and movie theaters.

    What to do for fun

    They have a large pool which is free for college students. You can attend basketball games (girls and guys). They also have a workout room but you can go only on certain times because of class times (same for basketball gym).

    Food and Dining

    Food is is really good but quite pricey like any college. The cafeteria is large and can get pack, but they do have picnic tables throughout the campus.

    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms for this college.

    Academic Rigor

    Study (whether by yourself or with a group) and you get an A; Study on occasion and you get a B; don't study and go out with friends and you get a C or lower. Your professors also influence your grades.

    Tips for prospective students

    College is not high school; you are responsible for choosing your own classes. You are treated like adults and therefore must be responsible like one, since you are in a classroom full of them. Getting to know some of your classmates is also very important in college for knowing which professors to take or any important news/deadlines they heard of.

    In three sentences

    Palo Alto College is a very good college that cares about its student. A majority of the professors take time to help the students out and the faculty is willing to answer any questions you have. There are a few cons just like any college but other that that I highly recommend this college above its sister colleges.

    The academics at the campus are very useful and provide well being for every student.

    Tips for prospective students

The college has great sources for you to use, they help you out so much, the people their are excellent to work with.

    None that I know of.

    Bang for the buck

    Like every school Palo Alto has it's pros and cons. It's good if you know another student who has attended with them for a while so they can mentor you on what to watch out for, and what teachers are good to take. Many Palo Alto students love their teachers and give them detailed ratings on college professor rating websites. My sister has been attending this school for a good while now and really likes it. I am looking forward to attending this semester.

    What to do for fun

    they have activities every so often and drama plays that are really good.

    Food and Dining

    The food in their cafeteria is really good, but as usual with college eateries, fairly expensive.

    Dorm Life

    Palo Alto has no dorms.

    Academic Rigor

    Depends on teachers. Some teachers are kind of outrageous with how much work they give you. Others really want you to succeed and make the work load really reasonable and straightforward so you can focus on learning and passing rather than worrying about having time to complete and pass assignments.

    Tips for prospective students

    The staff members while nice, don't seem well informed all of the time. Make sure you research the rules and requirements for everything you need to do on the website as well talk to a few different staff members. Make sure you are being fed correct information about everything in time enough that if you had anything wrong you can fix it before it messes up your schedule.

    In three sentences

    Palo Alto has friendly staff and students. Palo Alto lacks a lot of trained and well informed staff members (non-teachers). Palo alto seems like a nice school close to home with nice teachers.

    Campus Safety

    The campus police and security are very friendly and every where in campus. A lot of students feel safe leaving their cars in the campus parking lot, unlike in other colleges where vehicles are often stolen.

    Clubs and Activities

    PAC offers a very limited variety of clubs.

    Great for these types of students

    Students who want a calm campus with friendly students. And with excellent professors (and most of them attended the college themselves!).

    Bang for the buck

    One of my favorite things about the campus, is walking from one class to the next class, and passing though all the beautiful gardens and the colorful halls.

    What to do for fun

    Most students go out to South Park Mall or to Olive Garden during their lunch break. Some students run at the track at Palo Alto, play soccer or to the gym.

    Food and Dining

    Palo alto has a small cafeteria in the student center, which offers students lunch, snacks, drinks and friendly customer service. They have good coffee and the best homemade muffins!

    Dorm Life

    Palo Alto College currently doesn't offer dorms, but theirs apartments/ rooms for rent available for students. A lot of students rent houses close to the campus and rent the rooms out to other students.

    Academic Rigor

    Palo Alto offers some of the best and funniest professors I ever had! I learned so much from hands on activities. Palo Alto also offers an entire building full of tutoring services.

It includes many beautiful gardens ALL around campus(as well as hundreds of beautiful trees), many benches and tables, which create the perfect environment for learning and studying.
