Cerritos College is actually a very good community college in terms of faculty and class quality. Every class I've taken so far, I have learned a lot in. Almost all of the professors act like they care, and if you ask for extra help most teachers will help you.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I do enjoy my time at Cerritos College currently, however I really can't wait to transfer just because CC is such a big commuter school. What I'm excited about is dorming and meeting friends that will last a lifetime, and although that is possible at a commuter college, it's that much harder.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Cerritos is extremely affordable and the quality of classes and amount of credits you can obtain is SO worth it. You can get your entire general education out of the way for about ~4 grand (4 semesters, books included) roughly. That's a good deal right there.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My tips for any students who are thinking about taking the CC route, is I would say go for it! You will save a ton of cash, plus if you apply yourselves you can easily have a great experience. Join clubs, take part in the ball and float design, etc. GET INVOLVED. I know everyone stresses that, but at a commuting college, if you want the college experience you really do have to try your best to get involved. Join the student government body, do something. If you do this, you will really enjoy your time at Cerritos College.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Cerritos College is great for students who are really trying to save some money, while getting all of your general education stuff out of the way. I would suggest that more extrovert people to go here, because having a social life at this college is going to require that extra effort. However, very worth it in the end.
