REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingCitrus College is a great college. There are many great students and teachers. The campus is really big and beautiful.
Lesly from Hesperia, CA
I am planning to attend Citrus College this fall. I am registered already and hopefully I get the classes I need as my major. I chose Citrus College because I heard it was a very good school with many good professor's that take their time in explaining the materials.
Yesenia from Hacienda Heights, CA
As an English Liberal Arts study major I take a lot of interest in finding ways to become better at my goals. At Citrus I'm not only receiving a great education, I'm being challenged and brought to my greatest potential. I will always rate Citrus at a high number, for their dedicated work to help and teach students. I didn't always have the best education growing up; when I got to Citrus I didn't feel very smart being along side the other students. They allowed me to keep a slow pace for my understanding and did not judge me. to me that was the best Citrus could ever offer me as i continue to grow with my goals at becoming a better learner.
