1. Fresno City College is a beautiful, old fashioned campus, with a diverse student population, located right in the heart of Fresno's historic Tower District.
2. Teachers are involved and invested in the success of their students, and in my experience, have been easily accessible for any issue or questions a student might have.
3. There are constantly activities, festivals, seminars, and rummage sales going on at the campus, making it a fantastic place to just spend time sitting and soaking in the cultural and educational goings-on.

I learned a fair amount of information. Although the classes weren't challenging for me, I did leave there a lot more knowledgeable than before I got there.
Kaylee from Fresno, CA
Most of my professors are devoted to their classes. They are not restrained from the pressure to teach California standardized exams or the No Child Left Behind exam. Instead they are able to be creative and think outside the box. They create new and exciting ways to teach a topic. My classes are not based on a text book, but on the personal experiences of students and teachers. College should be a time to learn about yourself and what you should expect in life and this is what I've learned so far! My professors have successfully triggered my interests in new fields of study!
Veronica from Fresno, CA
The academic rigor at Fresno City Collage really prepares you for any university you may be thinking about attending. I find that it challenges me to do better and reach higher. It can be a bit much if your not a serious student.
