Although Crafton is a community college, the teachers are just as qualified as those at a four year university. Most of the professors have a PhD. They take time to present their lectures and have thorough reviews before any test, especially the science professors. Due to the fact that the classes are small, students get the opportunity to receive individual attention either during class or after class has ended. Questions are always welcome during class time and the professors with gladly take time to answer them. In several courses students also have the chance to have class discussions and everyone gets a chance to have their opinion heard.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I have never been to a four year university so I cannot say how social life works there. However, I have made a lot of friends at Crafton. People that come here are of all ages and from all walks of life, so going to Crafton has taught me to have an open mind.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The best thing about Crafton is the affordable price. Being an international student, I cannot afford to go to a four years university at this point. However, at Crafton I only pay about $200 dollars a unit. This might seem a big difference from what a US citizen would pay, which is $36 a unit, but it is a lot less that any other school.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Expect to learn a lot here. The classes are just as challenging as those at a university so they will require time and effort. Nevertheless, if those two aspects are put in it is easy to earn a good grade. The one thing that I tell a lot of new students is that the teachers what us to succeed so they will work just as hard as the student to help them get a good grade.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Crafton is great for people that have not attended school in a while because this school has a lot of introductory classes. For instance, they have beginner's algebra, reading classes, grammar classes, and so forth. Therefore, people who have forgotten basic math or writing will get the chance to learn it once again before going in to college level courses.
