Review of Merritt College

from Oakland, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I got accepted to 6 colleges after high school but I did not feel ready for any so I came here. I definitely grew my writing, critical thinking, math, and science skills through Merritt and the Peralta district.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The campus is beautiful, great people and teachers but it is on top of a hill so there are not many places to go to when you're waiting for another class to start.

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

Very affordable and helpful financial aid. Books are also usually found on websites for almost half as cheap.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Although it is a community college, it is still a college. Do not mistake it to be easier, there are university level classes that are challenging.
