Review of Los Angeles Harbor College

from San Pedro, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Harbor College is a very liberal and diverse school. I find the professors to be very laid-back and very happy. Even with the budget cuts, the professors maintain optimism and keep the students motivated.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Take note of your registration schedule and don't wait too long to choose your classes. Be vigilant and persistent and be willing to take on-line classes as well. There are plenty of great on line classes offered at Harbor, so as to ensure you can get the classes you need to graduate

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes are tough but there are numerous study areas where students can go and get help. The math lab is always staffed with available tutors. The same is true for the writing lab, so whether you have to write a paper, or are freaking out about a math assignment, there seems to be help available everywhere.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

This is a community college. No dorms available

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Student receiving their degrees in culinary arts are the folks who are doing all the cooking and baking of meals on campus. The menu in the cafeteria changes daily, is diverse in culture, and is always delicious

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are plenty of campus clubs like EOP&S and ASO who always have fund raisers on campus. Also. Harbor College has a great football and soccer team. The campus has such a laid back feel to it, which generates an all-around good feeling, which makes going to class pretty fun in itself!

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

I have really enjoyed the time that I have spent at Harbor College. I think the teachers are great at motivating the students and I think it is an all-around great place to get an education. We have an excellent nursing program and up -to -date technology building. I work personally with the counseling staff as a student worker and I think they are a top- knotch group of people who have a passion for helping the students succeed.
