Review of Los Angeles Harbor College

from San Pedro, CA

Did learn a lot

I learned as much as I could depending on how well the teachers and books presented the material. The classroom environment is relaxed so there's no pressure for deadlines and stuff like that.

Did enjoy being here

Alot of people from different highschools around the area go here. There are also alot of non-traditional students and people who just go to the campus to hang out. If you live around the area, it's just like highschool, you'll see everyone you know. In classrooms, at least one person in that classroom is your friend, aquintance or a mutual friend of a friend.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Bookstore books are always overpriced! Online prices like Amazon.com or eBay or Chegg are way more inexpensive! However, the prices per unit aren't that bad, and the library only charges .10 cents to print per page. It's not that bad. ASO is $10 and you get alot of discounts in different places ad around campus.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I recommend joining a club or organization to get involved in the campus. It's a small school so not many people get involved, but when they do it's always fun. I also recommend applying for financial aid as soon as possible and sign up for classes as soon as you're able to. Even though it's a community college, graduating from there is quite heart felt. It's close to home and everyone is kind of in the same boat as you are.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Determined students. Students who are first in their family to graduate from any school. Single parents or parents trying to go back to school. Students straight out of highschool who still haven't figured out what they want to do.
