Fullerton College is a beautiful campus, small and full of history. They are committed to student success. The professors and education are high quality.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit the transfer center early in your time there and visit often, they will help ensure you meet your goal, if transfer is indeed your goal. Visit your professors during office hours, they want you to be successful and can become valuable assets as mentors who may provide you with letters of recommendation needed for graduate school or jobs. Get involved in a club, service learning, honors societies, honors programs, sports, or academic success programs. Use your resources - there are many on campus.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I think this will vary from major to major. The teachers do expect you to learn, and you get 16 weeks. Semesters are awesome, I miss semesters....
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I particularly enjoyed the grill, I loved their grilled cheese sandwiches. Jamba Juice is on campus, there is pizza, salads, deli sandwiches, pasta and tacos.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Clubs, sports, the football team is pretty good. Go see the theater performances. There are events in the quad pretty often.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Seriously, if you're going to community college chances are you have other responsibilities. This place is an awesome choice to kick start your college education and transition you into college.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
They have a phenomenal Dia de los Muertos event which is not really unusual but great! There is a free speech area, every campus is required to have one, and some PRETTY INTERESTING folks have stood on their soap boxes there.
