community college is a brilliant, inexpensive way to get all your general ed classes and then transfer to a 4-year. las positas has some of the most caring and compassionate instructors that i have ever met. i really enjoy attending this college.
Amy from Pleasanton, CA
The faculty here is outstanding. Every class I've taken here has required me to actively participate and engage in the class, which I was initially uncomfortable with. But, I've made great progress here and look forward to each class.
Kurt from Dublin, CA
A lot of the classes that Las Positas College offers have around 30 students. This means that you can obtain plenty of information with the ability to ask questions, and get better acquainted with your professors. This not only makes your experience more hands on, but also increases your ability to succeed.
