I had a pretty good experience at De Anza. I transferred there after having a pretty negative experience at a UC school. I only ever had one teacher at De Anza who really didn't deserve to be a teacher, the rest of them were all well qualified, and easily approachable. I found the best teachers using Rate My Professors, it really helped me avoid overly difficult classes and horrible teachers. The campus is nice for a community college. They just got finish remodeling the campus center and have a brand new food court and indoor seating area. Since De Anza is a community college there isn't a whole lot of interraction with other students, as everybody is busy with their life outside of school, and the people you get to know in your classes you tend to never see again. The maturity level of my classmates was always really good, definitely a step up from high school despite what people say about community college being just like high school. Most of the unmotivated students tend to drop within the first couple of weeks. Parking can be really difficult, but I was always able to find parking in the Flint Center parking garage when worse came to worse. My one complaint about the school was the counselors tended not to know what they were talking about-I could talk to three different counselors, ask the same questions, and get completley different answers. Overall...good community college, one of the highest ranked in the state, prepared me for a CSU and UC education, and saved me a lot of money. If you aren't quite ready to move away from home, or if you are worried about your finances, community college is the way to go-it is completley different from high school-much much better.
