I really like it, I just wish it was more safe. Lately there has been some incidents that make students feel not safe and it would be nice of the school added security cameras around the parking lots and the main buildings. The academic life and extracurricular activities are very alive and students work together to help each other.

De Anza college has made a big impact on my educational journey. As a freshman in college I didn't know anyone around me and I felt alone. I considered myself to be a shy person and as a first generation student I struggled with thinking that I was good enough to succeed in college. Due to the community I found in De Anza I wanted to become a more intricate part of the community. This later had an impact on the rest of my life as I began to work as a tutor at my college. The community that De Anza brings together helped me get through these difficult times. As a first generation student I know first hand how difficult it can be to manage an educational journey and feeling as though none around can help you. But with a bit of support every student can succeed. De Anza professors have been very helpful in supporting me throughout my educational journey. While it does vary depending on what professors you get I have been fortunate in having very understanding professors who are easily accessible. Aside from this in my in person classes and online classes I have found many friends. My peers are often willing to help me and others who are struggling in class. Overall De Anza is a very welcoming school that really does care about every student's success.

The school is great! There are lots of opportunities that are posted on the walls and everywhere around the school. I was able to know scholarships and jobs that might help me financially in the future. They are very well-updated on their events and the students seem to be hardworking and caring. I enjoy the diversity we have here. I was able to learn a lot of different cultures and make good friends.

  11. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The most frustrating thing about my school is not knowing if I chose the right professor that suits me and my studying habits because it is more of a gamble and I highly rely on ratemyprofessors.com to get reviews from past students. Before I have registered my classes, I always search the professor's name on the website and see what are the student's opinions with the course and how the teacher's teaching skills is like. It goes from a poor, average and highly recommend scale and students give well explained input about the courses and instructor.

    De Anza college is a very diverse college welcoming a wide range of students from different racial backgrounds and international students alike.

This assumption however, was corrected as I saw a wide range of academic majors and interests here.
