Review of City College of San Francisco

Describe your college in three sentences.

CCSF has put me on a path to a better future. Being a student here means that I am working with professors and students alike who strive for a better tomorrow. CCSF is great school for anyone willing to work for a brighter future.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come to CCSF and see how academically proactive the student body is. Being involved here is easy and you can learn things about yourself outside the classroom while you challenge yourself everyday.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

It is a challenge here because everyone is so academically competitive. Transferring is the majority goal for students so they are constantly upping the bar on being an excellent student here at CCSF. The professors know what challenges lie ahead at higher institutions and try to instill that in their coursework.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

We don't have dorms at CCSF but they just finished building an apartment complex across the street from campus which makes it so convenient for international and out-of-state students to find housing in close proximity to campus who don't know the area well.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The culinary program at CCSF is top notch. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner to students & faculty. I would rate the food at 5 stars because of the variety, taste, and customer service. If I could I would eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner there.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Get involved! there are so many clubs and sports to join that it makes it impossible for a new student to not be able to make new friends with the same interests. The school's diversity is one of nation's most diverse so you are bound to find someone with your cultural background. I personally like to play sports so i joined the soccer team and club volleyball team.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I prefer CCSF over all community colleges in California because of the academic resources that are provided to the student body. Along with those resources come extra curricular activities that give students an avenue to express themselves or take part in . Here you can challenge yourself academically but be able to express yourself in a liberal community that welcomes change and being unique.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The maze outside Batmale hall. I wouldn't say maze, but you walk into this cement structure and there is chalk art all over it. It washes away one day and then another day something new appears so there is always something to see there.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who want to challenge themselves to be better students but also find people with the right mentality should make their way to CCSF.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are so many clubs and activities to participate in that it's hard not to find your niche in the community.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

no greek life here.... except for the greek students that I know.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

There are campus police everywhere ensuring the safety of the student body. Whether you are lost or need help finding your car at night you can count on them to assist you.
