The 'Free City' program is incomparable. There are multiple campus locations which is great depending on where the student lives in relation to location. Sometimes, registration can be frustrating, but staff members are available to help. There are many opportunities in this community college to engage in extracurricular activities, but San Francisco is a busy city itself, a short public transit ride away, and full of opportunities to engage in community.

Two words. Free Tuition. The City College of San Francisco, or City as we call it here in San Francisco is one of the most inexpensive Community Colleges in the United States. Upside to being in the best city in the world, the downside is the cold you will have to face arriving on campus. Low 50s and foggy weather are your enemies so be prepared to face them head on.

Hanna - 09/28/2020

Enrolling as a freshman online student due to the pandemic, and also being an out-of-state student, my opinion is based only on my experiences with the online learning system the school provides. However, I must say that this school really prioritizes not only my academics but also my personal life. They took the time to understand my living situation and constructed an educational plan with me that not only will help in my transfer to a 4-year college in the future but also was manageable to do while juggling personal life as well.

I feel good at city college because when it comes to my education plan, dream following, and motivation. I really think it is a great institution for a community college because they really show the care for students when it comes to showing students what options are available for your career path. I also enjoy the openness they provide for students including resources for the student to make sure the student is having an overall well being. That is why every time someone asks me about my school, I always enjoy explaining my school.
