Read What Students Are SayingMany of the teachers at Grossmont also teach at local schools like San Diego State.
Grossmont Student
It is a fun loving place. It has positive staff that strive to help to the best of their abilities.
Sarah from EL Cajon, CA
Some of the teachers go a bit easy because they know many people are right out of high school.
Amber from Alpine, CA
I definitely am learning so much here at this school. This is my second year at this school and all the professors I have had are really helpful and they make subjects that would appear to be boring into really interesting material. For example, I'm not too much of a science fan but my Biology teacher has such a funny and uplifting personality and makes learning the material fun and easy. Those are definite qualities that any student would want in a teacher for better understanding in material. I actually retain the information I learn which in high school was impossible for me; a one week break from school would already cause me to forget what I learned! Overall the teachers have great teaching methods and I definitely have learned a lot.
Marielle from San Diego, CA
Grossmont is one of the best community Colleges out there. The teachers are always there for me and I am always able to get into the classes I want, even with these big budget cuts. I have learned so much and enjoy going to all my classes everyday.
