I like the community college experience. Its in a nice area and is very modern and accepting.

Sergio

At West LA College I have lived one of the most excited experiences in my life, in my classes are very interesting people from whom I have learned a lot because the diversity of cultures West LA College has is wide so I have learned a little bit from the country of my classmates and professors. My professors and teacher are profesional people whom have inspired me a lot, they talk a lot about the contributions they give to charity or how the support needy people and all of those things have changed a lot my point of view about life, I would like to succeed one day and accomplish my goals in order to be able to help others and contribute to my society. The interaction with other cultures has open my mind a lot and be able to look forward to the future about how globalize our world is right now so I think one day we will become just one nation, one race and we will be able to accept each other no matter where we from or our heritage and that really motivate me to be a better person for my world.

There are many aspects to West Los Angeles that are very incredible. Many of the teachers are very helpful and supportive and always available to help their students. The class sizes are always appropriate for the subject and never too many. There are vending machines and a food truck so there is always food available. There are a couple negatives because there are not many near by stores and resources and there is no housing on campus or off. Housing is a huge issue especially in Los Angeles and there are no real options for students or anyone else.

Karen

I love the fact that there aren't many students but as far as resources I would say that WLAC isn't really "for the students."

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I could go back and talk to myself I tell myself to start searching for scholarships as a freshman because paying for school is hard. I would tell myself to take track and field seriously, so I could get a scholarship because I'm actually good at running. I would say hold off on working and run, not to trade in doing a sport and being in clubs for a job. If I coud go back I would tell myself to live, not to be so shy. To get good grades so I could qualify for all the scholarships out there and not have to pass up the ones that say 3.0 gpa only. I would tell myself the transition isn't hard at all rather smooth actually, and not to worry. I would tell myself to prepare now for college and transferring so when the time comes it'll be a breeze.

My school has set a priority to prepare us confidently in a solid foundation of math.

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

    The most frustrating thing about my school would have to be the cost of books. The pricing is ridculous when it comes to buying different books every semester. My only problem is when the school buys your books back, they only give you less than half of what you paid, and thats only if they buy the books back. It hurts even more when you dont recieve financial aid to pay for your books.
