I love the College of the Sequoias, but I wish there were more academic clubs present at their satellite location, for example, MESA at the Hanford location. I must say they have one of the best English 1 and 2 teachers there. It was clear that he cared for students' success and wanted to see them grow in their writing.

Eric Ramos - 11/30/2022

COS is a great place to figure out your path in life. As a STEM major, I can safely say that COS has some of the best STEM instructors for a community college. Class sizes are small, which gives students many opportunities to get help outside of class and get to know the professors. The physics and chemistry professors are especially outstanding.

College of the Sequoias is an average school. Most definitely a step above other community colleges in Tulare county, we have a staff that I really do feel is committed to helping students succeed. I have enjoyed my experience at the school and am excited to transfer as I feel prepared.

Zacarias

In my personal opinion, I believe that the College of the Sequoias is a decent community college for those looking to complete their general education courses and transfer to a university. The faculty members are nice, and the counselors give you a warm welcome, yet there are only a handful of teachers who really captivate you in their class sessions. The food offered at COS isn't tasty, and there really isn't anything to do during your downtime between classes. In my overall opinion, I believe that the College of the Sequoias is a decent college.

    The only thing that I can think of regarding something that needs to change is the parking areas. There is not enough of them at all. Especially in the beginning of the semster, it is like a needle in a hay stack to find parking. I wish there was a better structure or more land and to put parking on. Sometimes you have to park almost a mile away in neighborhoods and walk or run with books or backpacks on so you won't be late for class. That's not a fun way to start your day!
