What Students Are Saying

The professors on campus are some of the best you'll find at any community college and in many cases they're nationally rated. Well compensated for their time, professors here are there to stay, and they really care deeply for their students. It also doesn't hurt that the college is on top of a hill and has a beautiful view of the entire bay.
