Consider all DCCCD colleges before picking Richland! Richland's focus seems to be engineering (and really STEM in general), and multimedia careers. The multimedia sect is amazing. I've taken two classes and both of my professors were great, and so are all of the other professors that I have met. If you're looking for an education program or design, choose another DCCCD school if they're not too far from you. The school is good, just limited on the focuses you can have for your associates.

Be active and participate in college's events. Richland has a lot of useful program for student to be engage to the community and college's life. Takes note and be friend with your professor. it's gonna be helpful later

Apply to scholarships available from Richland and the DCCCD. Bring your own lunch. Restaurants nearby are not good.

I would advise to go to a community college first. It is a lot easier and cheaper then running off to a university. Richland is a great place to get your basics out of the way.

Please go to class and try not to miss any days if possible and just simply do the work on time that is asked by the instructor. Half the time when it comes to college, its just learning to apply and that's all it takes.
