Cabrillo is a great campus which offers a wide variety of classes in different subjects. It is in a wonderful location that is able to accommodate students in all of Santa Cruz county and is very close to the ocean. Excellent school is you want to transfer!!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Plan on what classes you want to take early and meet with a counselor to plan your classes and learn what classes you need to transferring, getting your degree, or getting certified.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I am talking 13 units and I wish I was taking more. The classes aren't too easy, but I think they are just right where I could have easily taken another class. The classes are very interesting and the professors do a good job of making students interested in their class through interesting lectures, in class discussions, and informative examples. The professors at Cabrillo have stellar background and are really good at teaching their subject instead of just lecturing about it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There is no on campus housing. The only down-fall of this school is that you don't get to experience freshmen dorm life that many college students get to experience. However there are opportunities to rent close by the school and possible share rent with some pretty cool housemates.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There is on-campus dining, but I personally like packing my own lunches so I don't know how their on-campus food is.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
It is in an awesome location where you can hit the beach, go hiking or biking, and go to interesting events in the city of Santa Cruz. There are many options to have fun, meet people, and get a part time job too!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Community college is unbelievably affordable. After looking at many out of state schools and private universities, I am so glad I chose to go to Cabrillo because I can get an excellent education and save so much money so I can transfer to a four year and not be in tons of debt.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Creative, open minded, fun students looking for a unique school to go to for community college who want to further their education, get their degree or transfer to a four year! Who also want to live in a really cool area, and have lots of time outside of school to do what ever they want!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Lots of clubs involving volunteer work, video games, athletic, biking, and various other clubs!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus feels really safe even at night. I have a night class that gets out at 10:20 and I feel comfortable walking to my car by myself. The campus is well lit and feels safe.
