Folsom Lake College was a great community college! I got really amazing professors and had counselors who made sure I was going on track with my courses, making sure I was doing well in my classes. The campus was very clean and the cafe was alright. I loved this college and would recommend it to anyone who wants to go to a community college before they go to a 4-year!

Zoey

I enjoy attending Folsom Lake College. I would say the teachers that I have had truly care about their students, which I think is hard to find at most colleges. The school life could use some work, but otherwise I really enjoy going to class and making new friends from my classes.

Folsom lake is a great campus and has a great city surrounding it. It's always clean, it feels welcoming to students and encourages an environment to learn. The counselors want you to succeed and will help you when they are available. The school doesn't shy away from knowing student generally want to transfer to a four year and they want you to! They understand the importance of community college and the feeling around campus is that of moving up to a four year, respectfully. Programs are great and plentiful. The teachers are local and provide support for those who want it. Overall this school is great and even though it is not a a four year, it provides students with what they need.
