    Am learning a lot

    So far most of it has been review as I've been taking care of the initial 60 units required to transfer to a university but I have learned to approach school in a more dedicated and systematic fashion here.
    Am enjoying being here

    LACC is an alright community college. The area is relatively clean and friendly. I myself am anxious to transfer to the UC system but so far I've not had any disappointments here. The school has great facilities and resources available. You can't go wrong.
    Bang for the buck

    At $26 a unit, its not bad.
    Tips for prospective students

    Study hard, keep up the pace, and take it serious. 60 transferable units doesn't necessarily mean 2 years. It could end up being 3+
    Great for these types of students

    wanting to transfer to California's public universities.

    Great motivational teachers. You get more one on one teacher time to ask more questions. Excellent tutoring programs, which you should definitely take advantage of.
    Am enjoying being here

    I have met great people. Great variety of classes to take.
    Bang for the buck

    Very affordable. All Fafsa money is mostly for you.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get your fafsa done on time. Lines get big once fall begins. Can save you 2 to 3 hours of waiting.
    Sign up for eop. They pay for your books and help you in variety of ways, for example, better counselors, priority registration.
    SIgn up for classes as soon as possible. Get more than 12 units, you got time to drop it later.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who want to transfer.
    Great for students who want to explore a variety of classes to which they can gain the interest to pursue a subject.
    For example im taking extra classes, combining Real Estate, Swimming, Dental Technolodgy. I was Undecided at first, but now i feel like if i can pursue anything I want.

    LACC, is the perfect community college to work on prerequisite classes to move on to major course. This college is near transportation, so getting here is easy. As for ow this school is currently experiencing some improvement, building per building.

    Los Angeles City College is a very great place to study. They offer one on one tutoring, and they help in so many other areas such as career development and transfer programs. I would recommend this college to anyone looking to finish their career goals.

    Los Angeles City College has recently remodeled and the college has so many improvements. The library is great and offers so many new computers foe the students. Another great improvements would be the new parking structure.
    Academic Rigor

    It is an affordable, nurturing environment for students. While there are a few bad apples in terms of professors, the majority of the faculty are amazing and truly care about teaching. They would have an awesome dance department if the school would put a bit more money into it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Look for your textbooks on amazon instead of at the bookstore. If possible, take the subway to school (cheap, convenient and eliminates the hassle of parking).
    Academic Rigor

    The grading is not very stringent in any of the classes. Show up and do your work and you will make an A.
    Dorm Life

    None.
    Food and Dining

    Delicious food truck. Decent on campus coffee shop.
    What to do for fun

    Hang out in the Dance department.

    This school provides a very comfortable environment with many resources for students available. Has some wonderful teachers in the science department.
    Tips for prospective students

    Plan out you're classes ahead of time, to be ready for registration. Many counselors not only here, but in other schools, are not completely equipped to guide you down the career path you want. So research ahead of time. Many times the 60 transfer units are not done within 2 years. Study study study.
    Academic Rigor

    My science classes were definitely challenging. Many times it depends on the professor you have. But many of the ones I have had have been excellent. They put their part in, but us as students we have to give it our all too. That's the only way I have actually learned the material in my classes.
    Dorm Life

    No dorms. Is a community college.
    Food and Dining

    They provide various vending machines around campus. Two lunch trucks. A cafeteria named tully's. Various fast food restaurants around campus. And they are opening a new student union.
    What to do for fun

    You can hang out at Tully's, to snack with some friends. There are a couple of fast food restaurants around the school. Or you may hang out in the student quad in the middle of school.
    Oh! and there is also an arcade right across the street.
    Bang for the buck

    $26 per class, not bad!
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who just want an AA degree.
    Great for students who are looking to transfer to a four year university.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are various clubs and activities around campus.
    Plenty of events happen in the student quad, the middle of campus.

    LACC is a great school there are a lot of diverse people there. Most of the teachers there are awesome. Everyone is very friendly and nice environment. I like to hang there all day.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you get involved in the many organizations they have for students. Talk to a counselor early so that you will not take unnecessary classes.

    Great for these types of students

    this school is great for international students, people that are returning to school after taking years, students with special needs, people looking for diversity, single mother, low income, everybody.

    I've never encountered a bad professor at this school; they all seem fairly dedicated. The range of classes they offer isn't that great, compared to, say, SMC, but it's great as a stepping stone if you want to transfer. They have good Cinema programs, it's what the school is known for.
    Tips for prospective students

    Classes are fairly easy. The sheriffs who patrol the campus are real strict, though, so watch out. They'll ticket you for smoking in an undesignated section.
    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms.
    Food and Dining

    Expensive. There's one food truck by the Communications Center, though, and it's prices are cheap, and the food's tasty.
    What to do for fun

    Leave the campus.
    Clubs and Activities

    Chess club is great, free food. That's really the only one I know about. They do offer a buch of others.
    Campus Safety

    The school isn't in the best area. That might explain why the sheriffs are so strict.

    i rate lacc at an 8. the instructors that i have come across are well educated and deserving of their titles. the professors expectations are at a high level of their students.
    Tips for prospective students

    i would suggest, if financially unstable or undecided on future career come to lacc and the counselors are willing and available to aid.
    Academic Rigor

    expectations are high, its no joke. didn't rate it 5 stars due to some lack of resources due to funding.
    Dorm Life

    there is no dorms, so, i didn't see any reason to rate dorm life. however, i had to rate it anyways.
    Food and Dining

    there is no real food or dining in the college besides a cafe, but there are plenty of restaurants around the college.
    What to do for fun

    it's a mellow place where anyone can basically hang out anywhere. there are events that students can attend for free if they like to.
    Bang for the buck

    the material is self-explanatory, but the instructors inerrelate the course work to everyday life for a better understanding of the material.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    i have not been attending this school long enough to really share traditions other than students willing to help other classmates.
    Great for these types of students

    Greek Life

    this place seems like any other community college and i thought i'd be there just for class but i was wrong. there's so many things to do at this school and everyone is so welcoming. i'm about to transfer in fall 2013 and i'm dreading that day since i grew attached to this place.
    Tips for prospective students

    just get involved with everything that you can. try peer 2 peer mentoring your first year, it's a big help.
    Academic Rigor

    it's not that difficult but when you get to the higher levels you do learn a lot. the teachers are there to help you learn and to prepare you for when you transfer to a university or go on to get a job.
    Dorm Life

    there isn't any dorms.
    Food and Dining

    there's a lot of food around the school and there's also food on campus.
    What to do for fun

    it's right in the middle of los angeles and the bus could get you anywhere that you need to go. the red line could take you to north hollywood or to downtown. there's also many things to do that are walking distance.
    Great for these types of students

    it's a good place for every type of student. the best thing is that students who are undecided with there majors can figure out what they want to do at this school and it isn't pricey.
    Clubs and Activities

    there's many clubs at this school and if what you want to do isn't here it's really easy to start your own club. there's events held every week and most of them are free for the students.

    it's a great two year college with teachers that actually care about each students education. unlike other two year colleges i've heard about, lacc makes it easy to register for classes. there is never any confusion and all the counselors actually work to help benefit students.
    Tips for prospective students

    always make sure to speak to the counselors before every semester, since they actually help you choose the right classes. also, make sure to pay any fees before the start of the semester at the business office, so there is no need to stand in long lines.
    Academic Rigor

    mostly all professors care about their students, even though there are the occasional sloppy professors. there is great emphasis on education and they always challenge students to succeed in education.
    Dorm Life

    since it is a community college, there aren't many people that dorm. instead, many commute to school. however, the few i know that stay near college dorms are content with their living conditions.
    Food and Dining

    lacc offers food from a very delicious and affordable food truck and tully's cafe. they are working on a new student lounge for fall 2012, which will include different food options ranging from mexican to chinese food. there are also great fast food and sit down places walking distance from lacc.
    What to do for fun

    the campus is big enough with grassy areas for friends to relax on. furthermore, there is an arcade across the street. if one wishes to socialize and meet new people, lacc offers a variety of different clubs.
    Bang for the buck

    it is a great place to get an education for much cheaper. it is very affordable and efficient to complete the credits for one's general education before transferring to a four year university.
    Great for these types of students

    great for students who want to transfer, who need to get their associate's degree, and those that want to graduate with a degree or certificate in any field of vocational study.
    Clubs and Activities

    there are many clubs and sports on campus for every type of student interest.
    Campus Safety

    even though lacc has had it's share of violent interactions, it is still safe to say that students can go to school with the ease of mind that nothing violent would happen.

    Am learning a lot

    The professors here are knowledgeable and most of them are very helpful.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am so glad that I am part of this school. They helped me get financial aid and they make it very simple to attain scholarships and awards to help with the costs of school.
    Bang for the buck

    Many of the books that are requested by professors are in the library for 2 hours of use. This is more than enough time to read, take notes, and do your homework. Some professors don't require a book for use in the class, so this is a great option for saving on costs.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't stress over parking. There is plenty of it if you are patient and give yourself enough time for a spot to open up. Come earlier for class because you never know if there is an errand you might tend to (admissions, business office, counselor, etc).
    Great for these types of students

    Great for all types of demographics and the school is accessible to many cities.

    Who wants to save up some money so they will have when they transfer to an University.
