Not so bright
I expected more from Foothill college, i took a math class last year and the teacher was somehow unsure of what she was teaching, she was new at foothill and lucked experience.. Students were dissapointed, because they were getting assigned to new teachers and getting moved to different classes every week..

Average
Am taking math 230 right now (spring quarter 2009) and am tired of being switched to different classes or the teachers being changed after every week..is a bad experience that pulls students backward..i know a few students who dropped the class today due to this, studens wish they can stick with one teacher for the whole quarter, but i know students will be switched more than 5 times before the end of this, it doesn't make any sence. i wish i knew this before i took the class.

Super Brilliant
I'm appalled at how bad California Community Colleges are, and Foothill has been the worst. I've taken a variety of online classes from schools including Oxford, Harvard, UCSD, BYU, and community colleges. It's amazing what a difference there is. Foothill has the worst "counseling" and "financial aid" departments one can possibly imagine. I literally spent ONE YEAR after initially enrolling trying to get some answers to simple questions. I finally ended up emailing EVERY SINGLE COUNSELOR all at once to complain and ask for someone - anyone - to even just respond once. Out of all of those people, about four counselors did at that point respond. Once I succeeded at that, I then spent another SIX MONTHS getting rational, useful followup to coordinating my financial aid (which they STILL have not completed). I'm a nice, rational person, with top grades, who doesn't have trouble figuring things out; but every student needs at least some minimal interaction with administration at some point - heck, administration requires it. As to the courses themselves, I'd say if you are looking for a skate-through to get an A.A., this is the place, if you can stand dealing with the headaches. The web information and course information in the class websites tends to be inaccurate and incomplete, but I just go with the flow with that. I'd recommend avoiding this college through because of the administrative nightmares. Oh, and watch out ordering online from the bookstore - you'll never see your order, and they'll "forget" and "lose" it.

Quite Bright
I adore Foothill. I think it's one of the best oppourtunities in education that any community college student has. The professors I had were amazing (3 who taught at Stanford, one from U. Madison, etc), and really push you. They are available for mentorship if you apply yourself and have a keen interest in their academic area. This school has given me so many opportunities and provided me with a safe, creative place to grow and learn. Many students transfer to UCs or even some private lib arts schools and say that Foothill provided them with a better education. That in itself should interest you.
The student body on a whole is diverse, competitive and motivated. Go Foothill!!
