Whittier, CA
Rio Hondo College

Rio Hondo is such a great environment. All the professors I have had were very inspiring and completely helpful. There is always people helping each other. The food is always great. The staff and community treat you like family. I love my school . There is so much room for opportunity.

Rio Hondo College is a very supported community college. As a freshman at Rio Hondo College, I got a lot of resources can support me either is academically or personally. Majority of the faculties are very friendly and supported. The professors are very friendly and accessible. Student life is diverse on campus. The fly in the ointment is that parking at school sometimes becomes very difficult.

Rio Honda so great school. The parking is a little bad but it gets better towards the middle of the semester or less. There are tons of programs avaliable to helps students through tutoring, workshops or even career advice. There are programs that help financially as well. Most of the students are very friendly and easy to talk to. The professors are always ready to help and most of them encourage new ideas and opinions. The one store we have hasn’t most of the essentials anyone would need at a college for reasonable prices. There is no campus housing but it is located close to three cities and a freeway so there’s is always housing off campus.

Rio Hondo College is a pretty good school. The people are friendly and the staff really does care. There are plenty of resources for students and frequent activities outside of class. Tutoring is also available. The professors are really caring and often go the extra mile to help you succeed.

Rio Hondo is a college that has opportunities for everyone and is accessible to anyone who wants to further their education. At first, I was timid about attending a community college, but now I can see that I am saving money taking general ed courses here before I transfer into the 4-year system. many of the professors here are passionate about teaching and want to watch their students succeed and the college is always willing to give a helping hand to any student who needs it. whether it is financial aid, book purchases, or even how to check your student email; there is always someone here who is willing to help.

My overall opinion on Rio Hondo is excellent. I really enjoy it because if someone needs help on anything there are people that offer to help you. At Rio no one is alone the professors encourage you to ask them for help and they will help you. Also classmates also help; you just need to ask them for help.

Honestly, I love this college. It is where I learned to help cultivate my passion for learning new things. The professors there are incredibly thought-provoking and can be found often encouraging all their students to take initiative in as many clubs, organizations, and activities as possible. Before Rio Hondo, I was terrified of how my educational career might continue, but with the entirety of the staff helping ensure you have access to all of its amenities, I was able to thrive. I currently have a 3.2 GPA, it's not a stellar 4.0, but to me,​ it means the world I am at this point. My enthusiasm is a testament to this college, I love it with all my heart.

As a incoming first year of a college student I am delighted to be part of this journey at Rio Hondo College. The school has the transfer opportunity that lets you do two years of community college and transfer to a Cal State, UC, or Privates, Save!

I came to Rio Hondo after a year and half of PCC (Pasadena), and my only regret is that I should have came to Rio right away. I feel that I was able to fulfill my GE's while also learn new skills for my career. It is a smaller campus compare to other community colleges, but there are a lot more benefits than what the size may say.

My overall opinion is that Rio Hondo College has little social involvement but is involved heavily with academic studies. Professors are available and always ready to help students. Rio Hondo is calm and students mind their own business which makes studying on campus is easy due to the quietness. I would recommend others attending this school.
