Review of San Diego Miramar College

from Poway, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

miramar college has fantastic teachers and staff. the new campus, which is still in progress, is convenient with most classes in the same building. also the classes are not packed.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

with the parking structure still under construction, either find parking early or skip out on the parking pass and park at the home depot clsoe by and walk to the camp which takes about 5 minutes.

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

the classes are tough like any college class but since it is a community college, teachers are aware of students other lives outside of school which makes the work not as bountiful, but just as academically challenging as any 4 year university.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

there are no dorms on campus.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

there is a cafeteria and some vending machines. the cafeteria's food is basically any snack you can get at a drug store plus some prepared meals. if i were to recommend someone somewhere to get food, i would go outside of campus and go to the surrounding restaurants near by such as rubio's, panera bread, and pick up stix.

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

there is a movie theatre, barnes and noble, ross, bath and body works nearby, and also reastaurants. those would be handy on a day where you have several hours between two classes because they are within a 5 minutes walking distance. on campus there is of course a library to study but i recommend joining a club on campus or taking an honors course which adds work load but is fun with the groups you form for your projects.

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

credits are expensive but way cheaper than universities. universities get to hundreds of dollars a credit where this college is at about $47 per credit.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

twice a year there is the spring and fall festival which clubs promote themselves. it's very fun if you are in a club.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

those who want academic rigor and working with small groups of people. and people who want teachers who are always available and make class interesting.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

food and culture club rocks. the club goes to different exotic food restaurants and tries new cuisines together.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

there is only phi theta kappa that is offered but it is not a fraternity.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

there is a station where police are located and can be reached easily by the new parking structure but always make sure to keep the campus police number in your phone in case you are there during night classes, just for safety.
