The administration is very chaotic. It is clearly disorganized and the people who work in it are downright rude. Getting into classes is ridiculous and you may not end up getting into those classes due to their incompetence and laziness. Since many classes require prerequisites, you had to take a placement test. The placement tests administration is horrible and rude. They clearly do not want to be there and should leave in a heartbeat, but they do not the skills to go anywhere else.

The professors seem to be helpful and very friendly. The majority of my teachers fit in this category. I had some that were very helpful and friendly and I looked forward to class. The course work can be challenging, depending on who you get. It is also easy to talk to the head of some departments. They will listen and willing to work something out with you.

The campus is very nice. It is in the mountains and the air is fresh and clean. It is a nice view.

There is no social life here. Yes, you can make a few friends here and that's not difficult at all. Everyone seems friendly but they all stay in their groups. It's still very cliquish and here. You can easily go on days where you don't speak to anyone.

Overall this is a cheap community college. The price you pay is the price you get. Since you are not paying that much you will get a pretty bad experience. The administration seems to be the worst thing I had to deal with. The teachers are very nice and the classes are not too difficult. If you have a good high school background, then this place will be easy. The good and bad things balance each other out so I have to say this is a neutral review. Overall, I am looking forward to getting out of here and can't imagine why people want to stay a long time here.
