Dorm Life I am a Day student. I do not live on campus.
Academic Rigor The mode of learning is challenging and demands hard work, commitment and good amount of time. With constant test and weekly tests, students are bound to read their notes and textbooks. Also the high level competitiveness amongst students also makes it a fun learning environment.
Tips for prospective students The number 1 thing is to finish your matriculation and admission processes. And then most importantly see a counselor, who will help you to choose classes that will get you ready for a transfer to a 4year college. Get required textbooks and also punctuality plays an important role in academic excellence. If you can not afford the textbooks, the school has a program that can help to buy the textbooks you need. always visit the Students' services building whenever you need help.

In three sentences I rate southwest College a solid 7 out of 10, because the college tries. The college tries in the sense that, it may not be the most academic, or has the best student body, but it has resources. The resources to help students that want to succeed, and helps students get the credits they need to obtain an associates degree and transfer. I have seen that students have gone to schools such as UCLA and USC from this school, because the faculty truly dedicate themselves and knows there are individuals that can be steered into the right direction.
