Review of Crafton Hills College

from Yucaipa, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

This college has small classes -- no more than 30 -- which allows individualized attention. Small class sizes enable students to ask questions; questions greatly enhance the learning process. A non-intimidating environment aids in a student's learning. Great services including the Learning Center - a free tutoring service for students - which greatly helps students who need a little extra help.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Crafton Hills college is a quiet environment with a relaxing and beautiful atmosphere. There is virtually no crime. Many activities are in the quad, including Earth Day and cultural celebrations. The students here are generally relaxed, creating a calming atmosphere for learning.

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

To put it simply, Crafton is CHEAP. Not only is it completely affordable (and with financial aid virtually free), but you can take classes here that will transfer to four-year universities for a fraction of the cost! And no, you are not sacrificing quality. Remember that all colleges, even fancy private universities, have bad teachers. Most teachers here are professional and caring.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

When you come here, expect rigorous college classes. Do not blow off homework or projects; this type of behavior is a recipe for disaster and will surely result in an F. If you find yourself in a remedial class, do not blow it off and forget about homework. Without this class, you cannot continue to college-level courses necessary for graduation.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

In general, Crafton is a great place for people of all ages and situations to attend school. Students who like to get the most out of their dollar fit perfectly here. Older students who are continuing their educations, or are just starting, are great here as well. Plus, unlike big universities, students can attend classes and go home for lunch!
