Saddleback College

Perfect for students who want to transfer after attending saddleback for 2 years. Can complete GED at a lower price at Saddleback and after they transfer to another college they can complete major requirements. The community college offers counseling and an honors program that can help students achieve this goal.

My first day at Saddleback College as a freshman was daunting, yet exhilarating. Having just graduated high school, there was a sense of freedom and true accomplishment that paraded in me that I had not known until then. I very much enjoyed not having to be confined to high school's "conveyor belt" regiment of block scheduled classes every week, and finally be able to take the classes that I am truly interested and passionate about. This is how my first two semesters went. Unfortunately, I have been slowly taking off my rosy glasses and realizing that Saddleback isn't a perfect school as there are plenty of things that could be improved. However, Saddleback College does prioritize the success of its students and helps everyone achieve a quality education.

Saddleback is the best community college I have ever attended! There are areas to improve upon but most of that is a result of lack of funding. The lack of funding comes from bad management in the higher ups. All of the professors and faculty are incredibly helpful and want you to succeed!

Saddleback College is a really great place for someone who is just looking to seek out career options or take general classes. The professors whom I have had previously and currently have for the most part been engaged with the students, passionate about the subject they are teaching, and available to help the students. Saddleback does offer a wide range of classes and some unique ones as well. However from what I have experienced there is not much of a community or school spirit. While they do offer clubs to join and other out of school activities, due to the fact that it is part of the school system and students do not live there, it seems to play poorly into the school having unity.

I love saddleback and all out it's amazing opportunities for students.

I loved the teachers and the education that I got from Saddleback College. I was able to connect easily with the staff there as well. Appointments were easy to make and if I needed to speak with a teacher outside of the classroom, it was a priority for them as well which I appreciated.

Its an alright school with alot going for it.

All in all, it is a great college. The campus is beautiful and accessible, and the faculty is knowledgeable and readily available. I appreciate the flexibility of class options. The student learning center is fantastic, and the tutoring availability is great. There is a fantastic health center, as well. They are available to help with any physical or mental issues that come up. The campus is safe, in a good area, and walking distance to the mall and other amenities.

Saddleback college is one of the best community colleges in California. It's the best school in Orange County for transfer and the transfer center offers a lot of help for transferring students and holds many transfer events. The campus is clean, drug, alcohol and smoke free. There are lots of fun events and the community is very welcoming to everybody regardless of race or gender. I have spent two and a half years at the school and made a lot of friends there for life.

Saddleback College is an excellent Community College that has great facilities, safe and spacious buildings, a great amount of study tables, and good amount of nature! I'm currently a student there and schoolwork is very manageable and the teachers are awesome! Most of the professors offer great extra credit opportunities!
