    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Dorm Life

    There aren't any dorms.

    Food and Dining

    The food at the cafeteria is pretty good, although it is rather expensive.

    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.

    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.

    Bang for the buck

    This school is worth every penny.
