It's great and has a lot to offer (for a community college) if you make an effort. You will not be spoonfed in this college like you perhaps would be at a four-year university. You need to go out of your way and work hard to be a successful student.

Santa Monica is one of the most diverse places to learn. This kind of environment gives you a general array of competition among all races rather than just a selected few. You are able to advance yourself at a higher level.

High quality classes at an affordable cost. I would consider 98% percent of the professors to be excellent!. Very helpful orientation staff that will help you reach your educational goals.

Santa Monica College prepares students for transferring to four year universities. Taking general education classes here saves thousands of dollars. The staff here is very helpful.

Great for all types of students. It is a wonderful place for very passionate and ambitious students, but also gives a great college atmosphere where clubs fairs occur and there is plenty of social opportunities and ways to make new friends. Its a very friendly place!

Great for saving money, honestly the best decision I have made, they have a lot of transfer agreements which really makes the whole process less nerve racking.

Santa Monica College is a very social college. The teachers really prove they're passion for education. Everyone is very social.

This community college is great for students wanting to transfer to a four year university, getting an Associates Degree, earning college credit, or even brushing up your skills in different areas! Their art program is great, and different departments are growing. Many Professors here are UCLA alumni and professors, so you are in good hands. It's a very diverse environment.

I could honestly say that Ive learned so much in the time Ive been attending SMC. With all sincerity I have learned, achieved, became a better student once I attended Santa Monica College. Its an outstanding community College, if students weren't doing so great in High School I really recommend Santa Monica for a better education and hope for a new outlook.

The library is a good place to study. The student population is diverse as well. Make sure to plan ahead with parking. as it is becoming more and more difficult to find parking!
