    I'd suggest you stay in the area for a couple of days to become accustomed to the weather and also to walk around campus to get a feel of the life there. It is also helpful to become acquainted with bus/Bart routes if that is your transportation- it can get tricky!

    Tips for prospective students

    I am very disappointed of the skyline college,cause they don't gave me the chance to try myself with ESEL.I went there and the man there couldn't explain me what exam he is giving me,after I take it the counselor told me that I need to take other exam,when I get back the man there didn't want to schedule me, because I have to do it on line and when I tried on line there was some server problem and when I get back on the next day early in the morning the same man told me that I can't place the test because there is no free place for me and I saw that in the test room there was a lot of free computers,so...I guess you guys like to waste the people's time or you just don't like your job!
