REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingRCCD is a very good community college. this school is a good way to save money while earning your associates degree or before transferring to university. i am in my second semester of college and so far i feel like i have learned so much. this school has the same teachers that you would get at an expensive university. one of my math teachers was also a teacher at UCR. i have gotten better grades here at RCC then all through out high school. the teachers really care here and want you to succeed. my professors are easy to understand and will meet with you any time during their office hours if you need extra help. also at big universities there can be up to 500 students in a class, which i would find difficult to learn in, here at RCC the classes are small. i would say the largest class ofered would probably have 50 students. i really feel like i can learn more when the teacher gets to know me and can relate to me. i am learning a lot!
Farryn from Moreno Valley, CA
I am definitely learning a lot at Riverside Community College (now called Riverside City College). The education you get obviously various among the different professors, but overall it is of good quality. I have a couple friends who attend different 4-year universities and from what I hear the caliber of teaching quality is of the same level.
Emilio from Riverside, CA

Stephen from Riverside, CA
I have learned a WHOLE LOT!! I started right out of high school and it has been a whole new world for me. Of course I have learned many quantitative things like math, physics and chemistry, but I have also learned so many life lessons here in the 2.5 years Ive been attending. You never know what you will learn, but I guarantee you anything in the world that you will learn something.
Khallid from Riverside, CA
The professors are easy to approach, with any question you might have. They guide you in the right direction.
Adriana from Perris, CA
When I first went to RCC I did not know what to expect. I love learning. They have great campus with tons of resources. Also the professors here are very helping. I have learned so much in the last year.
Avonlea from Corona, CA
As a music major I have had the privilege to have my training come from the very best. Although RCC is a community college it has one of the best music programs in the State if not the country. These professors really know what they are doing. I have learned so much this semester that I will definitely be using in the future.
