Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Parking is a mess at city college you have to get to campus with an hour to spare or park at the stadium parking. The stadium parking is the farthest away, but never gets full like the others. Just make sure when using this parking lot to be here 15 minutes before your class, because you will spend 10 of those minutes walking to campus.

You will be guarantee any class, any time of day and any teacher with priority registration.
