EMCC is a great location and very easy to get to. Although there is no on campus housing there are several apartments very close by. It has everything you need from food to a bookstore!

Estrella Community College is a great choice for students looking for a condensed, and one to one classes. This college provides a wide range of resources, as well as activities for student.
