Amazing school, great location

LOVE this school. I USED to go to CCSF but now I prefer this school. Unlike ccsf, this school sends out weekly emails as to what's happening on campus, alerts students to job opportunity. Encourages students to use on campus resources such as tutoring & the library. Also, unlike ccsf, this college has online counseling! LOVE the SMCCD!!!!

Amazing instructors, passionate about what they teach and they remember your name. Class sizes are small, the learning center is awesome, and the location is both convenient and beautiful. Headed on to a UC but will never forget this place or these people. They made it possible for me to take the next step.

You get an awesome education. I was doubting my decision to come here because I got accepted to several schools out of Highschool but was worried about the cost. Coming here was the best decision every. There is something for everyone. Take part in PTK, honors and ASCC you won't regret it.

They force you to sign up for tutoring even though a student doesn't need it !!!!!!!!

Beware. Rampant predatory business practices: exorbitant fees and punative fines. Unresponsive and unhelpful administration.
