What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
This is an interesting proposal, as I recently returned to college after a 20+ year absence. When I had first attempted college at the age of 18, back in 1991, I was extremely naive as to what responsibilities lied ahead, and the struggles I would face with time management. Though I failed abysmally at my first college experience, I returned years later, prepped with the tools and life lessons necessary to ensure my success. I believe that every experience has only added to my ability to focus and study, and to have an appreciation for the opportunities presented to me.
I have packed a lot of life in 20 years, from suburbia to drug addiction-fueled homelessness to recovery and all of the joys and sorrows I've experienced along the way. I've been a married housewife, a server in a world-famous 4-star hotel, a touring rockstar, and the owner of a film production company. If I could speak to my 18 year-old self, I would tell her to "enjoy the ride. Even though life is bumpy at times, it's filled with beauty. Follow your heart and don't be afraid to say yes."

The best thing here at Valley College are the teachers. They are very organized in their presentations, they are very helpful, funny and fair. I move here from Sacramento and I felt like I could have a relationship with them instead of being afraid of them. Not all theachers have all the qualities mentioned but whatever quality they have I trully felt that they are dedicated to make students learn and understand what they are teaching.

Valley college offers a beautiful campus with great resources to gain knowledge for our futures and for our present. LAVC has great professors that have positively impacted my life and helped me gain the information I needed to continue my education at a four year university. Without Valley College, I probably would not have heard about the University I want to attend. Campus is green, people are nice, classes are not too large. Overall, a great school!

Well, I'm not really one to brag, per se, but if I did, I'd brag mostly about how seriously the school faculty and staff take their jobs, but at the same time, there is *quite* a 'laid-back' feel to the entire campus. The professors are all quite professional, friendly and approachable. They also take an active role in making sure you are getting any and all valid information, whether it be for one particular class, the transfer programs or activities on campus.
