COD does have many good points. First, the class size is small. This leaves ample time for one on one help if you need it. Most of the professors have attended community colleges or were working full time & going to school full time during their academic careers. This gave them an understanding angle if you arrived to class tired.Also, the weather in Palm Desert, CA is absolutely gorgeous!The bad points: The academic challenges and competition is practically nil. The surrounding cities are small retirement communities with very little night life.
