Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Classes fill up very soon. Sooner you add, the better
Don't completely depend on the counselors on
1. Completing requirements for a specific university.
Solution - Contact your major's Dept. of the University you are transferring to, to get 'all' the information you need or there's about a 50% chance you could be wasting 1 or 2 more semesters in SMC.
2. Don't expect the counselors to know anything specific about your major except for what is at www.assist.org and www.csumentor.org/com
Partial solution - Contact an appropriate professor. Partial because I got most helpful information off the internet's reliable sources than what I got from a couple of professors. Now don't get the wrong idea. Most of the Professors I've had are top-notch. But they might not be up-to-date.
e.g: I want to be a computer hardware engineer. So I kept looking at monster.com and craigslist.org for job listings. Many of the positions mainly required that i know Verilog. I asked a couple of my professors and they did not know what it was. From internet I learned that it is an HDL (Hardware Descriptive Language) and that SMC does not offer it but many universities in my hit-list do.
Moral of the story- Do your own research about what you want and how to get it!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
3 Coffee shops.
Cafeteria with 3 outlets offer a varied selection.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I just keep my Boogie Board in my trunk and hop in the ocean between classes (in summer). Or head to the Venice Skatepark.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
International Student's pay about $3700 (in 2011) for a semester. Good deal compared to 7k, 10k and 25k of CSU, UC and USC.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
It's a great, nice campus and a neighborhood.
BUT
There has been many instances of robberies of Purses, cell phones, bikes and a few auto thefts. Just follow SMCPD's guidelines and you shouldn't have a problem.
