Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Communications  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment 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!! Education Quality: A+, Social Life: B Have a Question?

The location is idyllic, with a view of the mountains; at all hours, you can hear unseen owls hooting. Many students are out of high school, hoping for a transfer to a UC or a State school; in the sciences, everyone who made it through organc chemistry did transfer to a UC. There are usually a few post-baccalaureate folks as well: during my years there, there were a few Stanford students and a Cornell student, all of whom were brushing up the science requirements they needed for professional schools. The instructors in biology, math, and especially chemistry are very, very good, but very, very tough. You will work your butt off if you want As. The physics is only so-so, but I didn't take the true engineering physics. I took courses as a post-bac with hopes of getting into medical school, and the coursework there (along with a good MCAT) was taken very seriously by some very serious schools, both in California and elsewhere in the country. It is certainly not a social school. There are team sports, but I know little about them. Mostly it is a place for a focussed student throughly to learn lower division coursework with a great deal of individualized attention, often by Ph.D.s who love teaching and bring everything they have to it. I had a great experience there and after transferring to Berkeley found myself missing it very much. Highly, highly recommended. Education Quality: A, Social Life: F Have a Question?

Although you may not find so much social life on campus, one of the reasons is that most of them need to work or cannot afford playing around. Students at Foothill are generally very nice and diligent, and professors are often helpful and understanding. For me, the two years at Foothill were just precious, fun, and unforgetable. I will transfer to a more conservative state, but it doesn't mean I got bored of this ethnic diversed environment. I just felt that I am ready for the more challenging environment now.

There is no social life, but this isn't UCSB, this is FOOTHILL. It's an OK school. Most professors are nice and very helpful, but there are some bad ones too. One big problem with this place is that you really need to know which instructors to take. If you get bad ones, your going to get a C or B, if you get good ones, you should get a A or B. Talk to students, go on websites that rate professors and try real hard to get the easy ones. Don't expect a lot of foothill and you'll be happy with the education you get.
