Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students who are open-minded and determined are the ones who should look into Fresno City College. The ones who are motivated to taking care of their classes, getting their GED classes out of the way, and staying on track are the ones who will make it out of Fresno City College. Very different individuals attend Fresno City, and the age range is very wide. Just being in an atmosphere that's out of your element can make a student uncomfortable. But if you're diversed yourself, and have no problem to being exposed to different ethnicities and urban areas, Fresno City College would work for you.
Tips for prospective students Students who can't seem to decide exaclty where they want to go, I favor in Fresno City. However, class registration has become very competitive. Once you've passed the registration stress the rest is up to you and how focus you stick to your plan to get in and get out. Fresno City is not a resting ground, it's a detour that'll get you suited up to continue on to either a CSU or UC. Be aware of your evironment and priorities. Consistently check in with a counselor to be sure all your classes are what you need and that you're on track.
Bang for the buck Nowadays people are groveling and fighting just to get at least two classes per semester. It's alternate route to take for a decent education without having to pay thousands of dollars for a four year institute. Money has become the attention grabber and it doesn't seem to be getting much better. Hoping to take some of the financial slack off of my parents, I followed in my sister's footsteps and plan on doing the two years and Fresno City then transfer to a four year university. Basically my parents will be paying for 2 students for the price of one student going straight to a university for the four years.
Am enjoying being here I'm not going to lie, but Fresno City was the least place I wanted to be. However, I have became accutomed to it and have a mindset to stay focus. I'm also a part of the women's soccer team at Fresno City, so I'm familiar with other students who are invovled in athletics and those in the honors program. The one thing that Fresno City has to offer is diversity. It's an atmosphere filled with many people you probably would never see yourself next to, but sometimes it's good to be exposed to things you may not be use to.
Am learning a lot I'm learning quite a lot from most of my classes. Being a part of the Leon S. Peter's honors program I'm equipped with some of the best professors. The work is a lot of material but we get through a lot of it by class discussions. I'm enrolled in Philosophy Honors and English Honors. Both classes do ask a lot of writing from you, but the writing causes for me to critically think about what it is I need to write about. Whether it's a philosophical view of John Locke, or a writing a position paper on Immigration.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students who are all for taking small steps to success! Wise students who want to save money. People who are having trouble juggling work, a family and money. The college is suitable for everyone!
Tips for prospective students You're going to save a lot of time and stress from applying to Fresno City College. So use that saved time and apply for scholarships! I truly regret not spending my senior year in high school applying for grants and scholarships. Ask around who are the best professors to take: at least somebody in your class will tell you who to take and who not to take. Students share wonderful tips! Over 40,000 students are enrolled, so fight for a way to get priority registration, otherwise it'll be hard to get in your classes. I volunteered to take notes for students in my class and that gave my priority registration. You can sign up for the Honors program, as well.
Bang for the buck Fresno City College is significantly cheaper than surrounding schools. So yes, I feel as if I am getting the best bank for my buck. The school also provides a lot of students with financial aid. However, I wish they had more opportunities to give money to students based on their persona, not solely on their financial needs. The effect of the California budget cuts are evident. For example, classrooms need to be updated. However, most of the staff do well with what they have.
Am enjoying being here Fresno City College is perhaps one of the most diverse campuses. I've met parents, students who are married, students who come from a wealthy or a humble background and students of all ages. I've met a lot of kind people. I admire how they take the time to ask how everybody is doing. The professors' enthusiasm is enjoyable and I feel comfortable enough to ask questions. I had a huge problem with this in high school. One negative thing, however, is that a large amount of people don't appreciate their education there. They feel as if it's an obligation to go to college and can be heard complaining a lot. This is one little thing that bothers me.
Am learning a lot Most of my professors are devoted to their classes. They are not restrained from the pressure to teach California standardized exams or the No Child Left Behind exam. Instead they are able to be creative and think outside the box. They create new and exciting ways to teach a topic. My classes are not based on a text book, but on the personal experiences of students and teachers. College should be a time to learn about yourself and what you should expect in life and this is what I've learned so far! My professors have successfully triggered my interests in new fields of study!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Great for students who do not know what direction they want to go with their education. It is a cheap alternative to spending years and a LOT of money at a university with no idea of where you want to go in life. Also great for student athletes who would like to continue their athletic careers through college.
Tips for prospective students Be prepared for a high school like atmosphere in the classroom. It is way easy and is taught a lot like a high school only you aren't required to go to class. However, most teachers take role on a daily basis and use attendance as participation points on a final grade. Just go to class. It is very tempting to skip out, but don't lower your grade because you didn't show up. Also, make sure you have in mind where you would like to transfer and make sure your classes are transferable.
Bang for the buck Super cheap and I finished my AA in less than 2 years.
Did enjoy being here I enjoyed being there for the simple fact that I was involved in athletics, the volleyball team to be exact. There are a lot of people who don't care to be in school so don't get sucked into that crowd.
Did learn a lot I learned a fair amount of information. Although the classes weren't challenging for me, I did leave there a lot more knowledgeable than before I got there.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are lots of friendly campus police officers around all the time. They oftentimes give warnings rather than tickets, which is a very nice gesture towards poor college students! If there is ever any kind of problem on campus, the campus police are there within seconds, and no one is ever in any kind of danger. It's a very comfortable campus.
Greek Life There are no sororities or fraternities on Fresno City College's campus. It is a community college. However, there are Greek Honors Societies and groups that study certain topics throughout the year, in conjunction with activities with other members from other colleges.
Clubs and Activities There are lots of clubs on campus for a variety of groups. From people interested in music, to card games, to ethnic foods, and designing their own fashion items, the campus offers something for everyone. The clubs participate in activities throughout the community, offering the members a chance to further broaden their circle of acquaintances, and build connections with other student of shared interests.
Great for these types of students For a student that loves learning through experience as much as learning from a teacher, Fresno City College is a great choice. The campus offers so many great opportunities for travel, performance, artistic expression, and simply learning through immersion, being surrounded by so many people with such a variety of ideas and experiences. It continuously rounds and opens the minds of the students that attend.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Library is a vast brick building, with columns and a high ceiling-ed hall. There are classrooms upstairs, and a beautiful long room, lined with books upon books, and long wooden tables at which students quietly study. It gives an old-fashioned school feel to an otherwise urban environment. Also, every year the campus has Asian Fest, a beautiful day of parades and booths, foods and dancing, put on by the Asian community of Fresno. It is definitely worth coming out for.
Bang for the buck There are many scholarships and financial waivers available, even for middle class students. But even without the financial assistance, it is not a particularly pricey school at which to study. The opportunities, activities, class diversity, and quality of education all make it a fantastic educational deal.
What to do for fun - Explore the area. There is so much to do around Fresno City College. There are a lot of on-campus activities too, so it's worth picking up the school newspaper, The Rampage, to see what's comping up soon. - Photography and art students particularly love the campus because of the views and subject matter it offers them. There are many beautiful antique buildings, like the Old Administration Building, recently restored, and the big red brick Library. Many of the trees are upwards of 100 years old.
Food and Dining Fresno City has a really great catering company that sets up booths and stands around the campus for quick and easy access to snacks between classes. There is also a café, and a dining hall on campus near the student lounge that offer the usual pizza and taquitos, but also healthier choices like fresh fruit, freshly made salads and juice.
Academic Rigor I was in the Honors Program at Fresno City College, and found those classes to be more challenging than the regular classes, as they should be. However, the regular classes were demanding as well. The teachers are very involved with each student, and you will have to work hard to earn a passing grade. It ensures you learn the material backwards and forwards.
Tips for prospective students - Be open-minded. Because Fresno City College is a community college, and a public institution, there are lots of different types of people all around. If you can get out of your comfort zone, and get your foot in the door with a lot of different groups, the experiences that open up are endless. - Go to class! This is a general tip for every college or school you'll ever go to, but because of the number of students that need to get into classes at FCC, professors have no qualms about dropping a student from a class, even five or six weeks into the semester! You have to earn your seat in a class, and want to be there to learn. - Get involved in the clubs on campus. There is one for almost every interest, skill, or ethnic group. They're easy to check out at the Club Days, and will give you a fantastic extracurricular college experience. - Explore the area around the college! FCC is located right in the middle of Fresno's famous Tower District. There are locally owned restaurants and coffee shops sprinkled amid local art galleries and retro clothing stores.
In three sentences 1. Fresno City College is a beautiful, old fashioned campus, with a diverse student population, located right in the heart of Fresno's historic Tower District. 2. Teachers are involved and invested in the success of their students, and in my experience, have been easily accessible for any issue or questions a student might have. 3. There are constantly activities, festivals, seminars, and rummage sales going on at the campus, making it a fantastic place to just spend time sitting and soaking in the cultural and educational goings-on.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is a strong presence of the district police. The Campus is well lit and there is a plentiful amount of people on campus even when dark.
Greek Life There are no Greek Frats or Sor. at City College
Clubs and Activities Fresno City College has a long list of clubs, you will most definitively find one that suits you. You can find a list of these clubs on the Fresno city college website.
Great for these types of students Students wanting to attend a four year university but not wanting to tackle all those expenses for the four/five years they attend that university. Also great for those wishing to attend a UC with guarantee transfer admission.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus By the Student Lounge you will find an Arcade with pool tables and arcade games
Bang for the buck A community college for your general ed or transfer AA is the way to go. Fresno City is truly affordable, with tuition fee waivers. FASFA and CAL grant will always end up in your pocket due the affordability of Fresno City.
What to do for fun City college has lots of on campus activities. There are clubs. Vendor malls. Free Ram burger day. Many campus event and free workshops. Even an arcade! The possibilities off campus are endless, located in such a large city.
Food and Dining Fresno city college has a decent cafe, with cooks to make you a fresh and custom breakfast or lunch.
Dorm Life City College has no dorms.
Academic Rigor It all depends on your professors. There teaching styles will varies. I recommend using ratemyprofessor.com to chose your professors. There are many professors at City college. Choosing the one that teaching style best meet your learning need will be made easier with the use of this website.
Tips for prospective students Parking is a mess at city college you have to get to campus with an hour to spare or park at the stadium parking. The stadium parking is the farthest away, but never gets full like the others. Just make sure when using this parking lot to be here 15 minutes before your class, because you will spend 10 of those minutes walking to campus. Take advantage of this parking lot and never have worry about the parking nightmare on campus. Due to the higher number of students at this college, getting your classes can be a real challenge. I recommend enrolling at Midnight before the first day for registration for best chances. The only two other ways to get your classes is to play a sport, or get accepted into EOPS which is a program at FCC. If you meet the requirements for FCC apply for the program, if accepted you'll get priority registration, even before all the athletes do. You will be guarantee any class, any time of day and any teacher with priority registration.
In three sentences Fresno City College is the 2nd oldest community College. Fresno City is a great place to get your general education and transfer AA for those planning to attend a CSU or UC. It is also very economical to do two years at Fresno city as appose to all your years at the university you plan to attend.

In three sentences It is a fantastic school, old and rustic, lots of squirrels. For the most part, strange but friendly teachers who are truly passionate about what they do. Lots of culture and history behind this campus.

Categories Comments Campus Safety unfortunately fresno has a bad wrap but by far the community and people are more family oriented and helpful than anywhere else that i've lived in california including santa cruz, venice, torrance, san mateo, or santa monica.
Greek Life not to sure on the definition of geek anymore as times they are a changing i suppose there are alot of internet cafe's but the geek of the past is gone and the geek of the future has been brought to practically anyone with a smart phone, yes that makes you a geek we are one of the first generations to have global communication and information at our fingertips so in my humble opinion everyone today can be considered far more intelligent than the geeks of the past
Clubs and Activities the list goes on it you name it their is a club for is and if not then you can alwys get help to start one, looks great on college applications too
Great for these types of students lots of diversity sure to find other like minds to bounce ideas off of and share a few good stories regardless of one's background
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus zombie crawl and santa con are popular local traditions.
Bang for the buck unfortunately the cost of tuition keeps rising so go or get in soon before it's to late
What to do for fun Yosemite national park is very close along with china peak ski resort not to mention a handful of lake during the hot season for water sports
Food and Dining good to great, some days are much better than others.
Dorm Life no dorms at city college
Academic Rigor Soft science instructors are fantastic and typically have smaller classes for more personal attention. Most but not all Hard science instructors have difficulty inspiring their students to want to pay attention and learn from them
Tips for prospective students RateMyProfessor.com use is and if your schedule allows choose the professor that appeals to you most.
In three sentences Going back to school can be difficult and rewarding too. FCC is willing to help those dedicated to become more and grow but you have to prove that's something you really want. Otherwise your just another face with no name to some instructors

Categories Comments What to do for fun The campus offers sports, clubs and other extracurricular activities that are available for students.
Food and Dining There is plenty of food on campus. The bad thing about it is that we must pay for it, but then again we get a good quality amount of food for the price that we are paying.
Dorm Life I don't think that our campus has dorms but if it did it would make this a great place to live at.
Academic Rigor Every teacher or staff member that i have met so far have been on top of everything in order to help the students on campus. For example the librarians help out a lot when it comes to academics.
Tips for prospective students I believe that prospective students get what they want, by working for it. In college, we are now independent, which means we must learn to be responsible and stay on task. one of the best tips you will ever receive is; don't procrastinate.
In three sentences Overall i enjoy being here, its a nice place to be at and every staff member seems to be nice to the students. Education is my top priority thus I am concerned that FCC has awesome teachers.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus security make their rounds frequently and there are call boxes dispersed around campus. Most of the campus is fairly well lit and the library and Pacific Cafe stay open pretty late as safe places to be if you find yourself on campus at night. Be sure to be aware of your person at all times and don't leave valuables in your vehicle or unattended.
Greek Life There is not really much of a Greek Life. There are some Greek Letter clubs and organizations to join but, not really full-fledged sororities or fraternities.
Clubs and Activities FCC offers a wide variety of clubs and campus organizations. From the Associated Student Government to the Japanese Anime(Animation) Club, you will either find something that peaks your interest, or be guided to a club packet to create your own. There are often campus events and festivals taking place including Club Rush, International Festivals, and much more.
Great for these types of students Students that are trying to decide what to do with their career and their life will feel at home here. If you want to be introduced to the many cultures of the world, this is an excellent environment in which to immerse yourself. If you can stay focused, Fresno City College will help you develop a true love for learning.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus If you visit Fresno City College, make sure the check out the small Japanese garden behind the study hall center. It is truly a hidden treasure that not even many student know about.
Bang for the buck Overall, Fresno City College is great place to get liberal arts course work out of the way and an affordable way to get well-rounded. Don't expect too much over the top, state-of-the-art offerings but, do look forward to a taste of nearly everything.
What to do for fun There are a lot of activities on campus including sports, clubs, events, film viewings, and speaker forums. There is almost always something going on on-campus and the campus calendar the College Activities office offers can be a handy way to keep up with it all.
Food and Dining There are a few options to dine on-campus but, they are somewhat pricey and limited. The campus cafe, TAHER offers cooked meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have carts around campus and they are good at what they do but, they have prices to match and tend to not stay open long enough if you choose to attend evening and night classes. The Pacific Cafe (formerly known as Yoshino's) across from the cafeteria building that houses TAHER has a wider variety of options with a focus on Japanese/Asian offerings and can be somewhat more affordable depending on what you choose. There are also some fast-food restaurants and cafes within a block of the campus.
Dorm Life There are no dorms. The campus College Activities office offers guides of local rooms, apartments, and houses to rent but, there is no on-campus housing.
Academic Rigor The challenge level of courses at Fresno City College vary widely from very easy to more challenging courses such as Honors Program classes. Be prepared to spend a lot of time on homework and study if you are ambitious with your studies. The challenge level that you face will be up to you and the education path that you have chosen. FCC does, however, tend to be somewhat outdated in some of its offerings, so be sure to check into the curriculum of your course of study, know what you are looking for, and be sure that they offer it, before jumping into a major.
Tips for prospective students Be prepared to stay focused. With such a wide range of things to see, do, and study on campus, it is very easy to get side-tracked. Decide how you want to approach your education and how you want to work toward your goals and stick with it. Make sure to see a counselor to get an education plan upfront to really help you to stay on track.
In three sentences Fresno City College is the first community college in California. FCC has a diverse student population and atmosphere. FCC offers a wide variety of subjects to study.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Old Administration Building was the first site of California State University Fresno in the 1920's. It has recently been renovated and reopened for classes and student leisure. Spend time between classes studying in one of three courtyards!
Bang for the buck At only $46 a unit, no other school can beat these prices!
What to do for fun Joining a club can connect you to students with similar interests.
Food and Dining Cafeteria and a cafe/snack bar provide mediocre food options.
Dorm Life No on campus housing.
Academic Rigor Even though many students have problems dealing with the work load, I found the general ed classes to be a bit dumbed down. Most of the degree specific classes for Art and Photography proved to be challenging and have great instuctors.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you register early. Finding parking can be difficult, make sure you show up early!
In three sentences This school has a beautiful campus with lovely trees, old architecture and a functioning dark room in the photo department. The students are diverse with a range of ethnicities and ages. The school is relatively cheap to attend and is great for getting some general classes under your belt.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Bike thefts are a major issue on campus. There is campus police that patrols the area at random times. There are many cars that do not have the semester parking pass. They take up space for those who really need the parking. It is an issue that needs more attention. There are days where one can go without displaying the parking permit and one will not receive a ticket. In other words, there needs to be more patrolling and ticket-serving as there are those who really need parking.
Food and Dining Although there is a school cafe, the menu list is relatively small. Waiting times and organization can get really out of hand during the first few weeks of instruction.
Dorm Life Dorm Life not applicable.
Academic Rigor Depending on your major and daily schedule, class difficulty and rigor will be dependent. However, for the most part and from word of mouth, most class exams will consist of multiple choice, true and false, and short answer. Keep in mind, however, that it will depend on many factors such as what you define as rigorous and your academic level.
Tips for prospective students Study and really put the effort into your courses. It is school, after all. If necessary, have a weekly schedule to manage your time wisely and have an agenda to keep track of deadlines and important dates. Look into Transfer Day during the month of September. Use Assist.ORG and Ratemyprofessor.com to make the best out of your semester. Accept every chance that is offered for PRIORITY registration. You will have the best selection of classes and schedules. Classes fill up fast so this is your chance. If you really want to save money on books, use CRAIGSLIST.ORG and search in the Books category. Most of the time, you find the book(s) for your class. No waiting needed and you can resell them instead of just returning them when you rent them. So use Craigslist, Craigslist, Craigslist!
In three sentences For a 100-year old community college, it is a very forestry and beautiful school. The student environment is friendly, one feels welcomed, and staff is friendly. The location is convenient and near major avenues and a highway.

Dorm Life Dorm life does not exist at fresno city collage, it is a two year collage that prepares you for a four year collage.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor at Fresno City Collage really prepares you for any university you may be thinking about attending. I find that it challenges me to do better and reach higher. It can be a bit much if your not a serious student.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students It's great for students of all ages, of every religious and political background--diversity is key @ Fresno City College
Tips for prospective students As someone who has been employed at the college, and who is also a student I will say this: 1) Do not steal the textbooks or supplies from our bookstore, it only causes the prices to be hiked up further. 2)Do not text in class. 3) Pay attention in class, and take your studies seriously. I'm not saying don't have any kind of life, just curtail how much fun you have while you are attending. Trust me, you don't want to have to return 15 years later like I did.
Bang for the buck The classes definitely, the books and supplies on the other hand...a little on the expensive side for me.
Am enjoying being here I do enjoy being a student here--there have been a lot of changes on campus, including the location of the administration building. There are plenty of clubs to join that cover every interest, culture, political leanings, etc.
Am learning a lot I have been enjoying all of my classes, even the boring ones (I am not a fan of math, but I have enjoyed my instructors in the different levels). The instructors I have had there have all been very helpful, and understanding of students' difficulties in juggling home, work, family and school.

In three sentences Fresno City College is a great school. I have studied there before and learned a lot. The thing I liked about the college was it was close to home and I didn't have to travel far.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Never have had a problem on campus.
Clubs and Activities Lots of clubs but I am not interested in extracurricular activities at my age.
Great for these types of students Great for either students who have no idea what they want to do but want to get their GE out of the way while deciding or for students who know what they want and want a cheaper alternative to four year universities for the first two years of school.
Bang for the buck Great when compared to four year universities. Only $48 a unit.
What to do for fun There are campus activities but since I am a student who attends at night, I don't know much about them.
Food and Dining Only one restaurant on campus. Not the best food but pretty cheap. Okay if you have to but you would be better off at one of the local fast food establishments.
Dorm Life No dorms on campus.
Tips for prospective students Register for classes early. There is not much availability for general education but if teachers know you are serious about your perspective academic goals they work rather well with you.
In three sentences overcrowded. Good for smaller programs that are directed into profession. Decent staff.

Categories Comments Campus Safety campus police are fairly present. I've never seen a fight on campus never heard of cars being messed with in the parking lots.
Bang for the buck FCC is good for getting classes that are hard to find but if had a choice I would take classes at Willow.
What to do for fun I typically hit the gym if I have a decent size break between classes.
Food and Dining there are not a whole lot of options on campus, but there are plenty of places in the area to eat.
Dorm Life no dorms to speak of.
Academic Rigor classes are not all that demanding, but that depends on the teacher.
Tips for prospective students plan ahead as it pertains to parking. If you need to speak with a counselor make sure you have a few hrs to spare.
In three sentences Teachers are capable and easy to approach. Meeting with a counselor is some times a challenge, due to the number of students.

What to do for fun They have an arts museum in the art department there. There are also tennis courts and a gym to play sports. LOL. That's about it.

Dorm Life There are no dorms on this campus.
Academic Rigor I was told by one of my ex physiology teachers that the students at FCC are taught at University level.
Tips for prospective students Study off campus and in an atmopshere that you enjoy and feel comfortable in.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Fresno City College, takes safety seriously. They have there own campus police who are visible on campus. If you have a night class and request a escort then they can arrange to have someone meet you and walk you to your car. They are awesome!
Greek Life Yes, as I mentioned in Clubs and Activities, they do have an active Greek Life so you don't have to feel like you are missing out on the University opportunity. It is a wonderful way to meet people and have a great time with events and activities.
Clubs and Activities If you want a club, you can find it a Fresno City College and if it doesn't exist then there is room to be a pioneer on campus and make a club that meets your needs. I was surprised to hear that they actually have sorority and fraternities. This is almost unheard of at other community colleges. Need I say more.
Great for these types of students For students who may still searching for what they want to do when they grow up, this is wonderful environment. Most faculty have an open door policy and are more than eager to provide advice or give you some connections of the right people to talk to. This is very unique, most college professors are not as open at other colleges/universities.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus One of my favorite locations is the beautiful library. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Plus just look up and you can see these wonderful artistic ceilings. It makes you feel like you are studying in a tradition steeped university such as Oxford or Cambridge but for a tenth of the price.
Bang for the buck Fresno City College is the oldest of the Community Colleges and has a wonderful park-like setting with lots of trees, beautiful old buildings and charm. It is a very diverse campus with young to older students, from all socio-economic classes from several countries who practice diverse religious, political beliefs. In a way you are getting an education abroad bought home. What a great opportunity to expand your own knowledge about other cultures and learn an appreciation of what we have to be thankful for in America.
What to do for fun Fresno City College has a very active student life component. On almost any given weekend you will find performances by the performing arts or music department and the best thing is that most of these are free or at a discounted price for students.
Food and Dining I have eaten at both the cafeteria as well as the cafe located outside the bookstore and all the food is good. Sometimes a few items are a bit pricey but you are sure to find something good in your price range.
Dorm Life Fresno City College is a commuter college so it does not have dorms.
Academic Rigor Fresno City College professors are top notch. Most of them have real jobs outside the college so they bring a new and broader meaning to what you are studying in the textbooks. I would give them an A+.
Tips for prospective students Get to know the Academic Affairs side of education. For example, the counselors can be invaluable. They have both academic counselors to help with your academic planning. Fresno City College is one of the few Community Colleges to have personal counselors as well. These counselors are all Master-level and doctoral level trained therapists. They are helpful in helping you navigate a stressful time of your life like going to college, relationships issues, and much more.
In three sentences I would rate academic rigor as a 4+, I had a very good experience with my faculty members. Every now and then you may have one that is more into research or other activities than teaching but this is the exception. As for dorm life, Fresno City College does not have dorms but this does not mean it lacks a sense of unity among students. Their are more than enough opportunities to meet others in various activities and fun events the campus sponsors. They even have a Greek Life. I would rate this a 5/5. As for food and dining, it is easily accessible, quick and most college student can afford it, so I would rate it a 4/5.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Don't leave things in your cars! Car theft is very high on campus and it's not uncommon to hear someone in your class tell the professor that their books were stolen out of their car.
Great for these types of students Night students will enjoy the wide variety of classes available. Those are the easiest classes to get into.
What to do for fun Go to Tower! The Tower District down the street is your best bet for fun stuff. There's a tea house called Teazers that is the best! There's also a Starbucks, Spinners Records and a ton of great bars/restaurants.
Food and Dining The cafe on campus is actually really good. It's owned by a local restaurant. The prices aren't that great, but it is good food.
Dorm Life I don't believe that there are dorms available here.
Academic Rigor The classes are not challenging but they are difficult because there isn't much class involvement. Try to take classes where you can work alone if possible. My favorite classes here were the ones I took online.
Tips for prospective students Try to register early or you will not get into classes. Don't plan on crashing classes due to new policies within the school there will be no adds.
In three sentences The teachers are terrible and unsupportive. The classes, campus and parking lot is crowded. Budget cuts have made it impossible to enroll for the necessary classes to finish my degree.

Great for these types of students Fresho out of high school and student who want to experience college life close to home.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Like i sAid fresno city college is very multicultural so we take on many different traditions.
Bang for the buck Its definately worth it, you just have to be focused and work with the system.
What to do for fun Sports and music are huge at fresno city, also theatre is an option as well. Their are multiple clubs that you can join as well. Whatever you are interested in fresno city has it to offer.
Food and Dining The food isnt to die for but its still kind of tasty, it makes ot better knowing that their are restaraunts around the school that are a whole cheaper
Dorm Life Im not familiar with it
Academic Rigor They are top notch the teachers are really good at what they do. They take esucation very seriously
Tips for prospective students Stay focused it is so easy these days to get caught up in socializing with friends or not going to school at all. If you just come to class on time you will increase your chances of passing the class more. Also i would advise that new students get envolved if you are envolved with college the more likely you are to be motivated to go to school.
In three sentences Fresno city college has a very organized way about helping their students prepare for life outside of college. The school also has unique cultural diversity which makes the campus one ofthe best their is. The college also treats their athlets and musicians very well as far as making sure they are ready for the next level.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The police training academy is located on campus so their presence is always felt.
Greek Life Very few fraternities- the most popular one is an academic and community service focused one called Phi Thetta Kappa.
Clubs and Activities There are various clubs one can join which is made easy by the once a semester club rushes that take place in the quad area of the school.
Great for these types of students Ideal for students unsure of their major or where they want to ago as well as those who are cost conscious. Also good if you are unsure if you are emotionally and mentally ready to leave all you know beyond to go away for school if you are a Fresno resident.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a lot of cultural pride with there often being various festivals and demonstrations anywhere form a Native American traditional dance to Asian Fest.
Bang for the buck Most cost effective option if you want to save money for college. You can get all of your general education as well as many of your classes for your major completed for the fraction of a price.
What to do for fun Not much on campus for recreation however the campus isn't too far from the Tower District in Fresno which is filled with various local eateries and shops.
Food and Dining There is a cafeteria as well as a small cafe.
Dorm Life It is a community college so it is nonexistent.
Academic Rigor Some courses are difficult while others are a breeze, it just depends on which classes you need to take. On average even the harder courses offered are still easier at the school rather than taking them at a CSU or UC.
Tips for prospective students Get involved with the various programs that are more focused for smaller groups of students such as SSSP or the Science club that will allow for more one on one time with people who know how the transfer system works.
In three sentences It is the perfect environment for students unsure of their desired major. Allows one to be introduced to the rigorous curriculum colleges offer without as much stress and at a slower pace. Will give the feel as a step up from high school but not so much so that it gives a real college experience.

Categories Comments Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus None that i know of.
Bang for the buck It is not too expensive to attend FCC. If you obtain grants or scholorships it is quite painless.
What to do for fun They have a great jazz band and music department. They have beautiful dancing clubs, which is amazing. They also have good athletics, or so I am told.
Food and Dining They do have food. If need to eat you don't have to leave campus, which is a blessing. Its not five stars or even three, but its there if you need it.
Dorm Life I don't think they have one. If they did i doubt it would be that great. The school system is quite insoluable.
Academic Rigor The science department is tough. You have to spend every waking moment to keep up. If you want a science transfer you better quit your job and be religously devoted to FCC.
Tips for prospective students Stay at the top of the class. If you fall behind you should give up ASAP. The competition is touch and the teachers don't mess around.
In three sentences FCC has very little room to attend. The teachers try to weed out bad students from the start. It is quite a miserable experience.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is very safe! There are not very many places where you can be out of sight and there is a police station on campus as well.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus On the top floor of the art building is a little open air stage-like area where a few people like to hang out. its painted with an underwater mural so it's nice to look at and there are electrical outlets if you need to charge your phone.
What to do for fun For fun you can attend the various sports events, or music recitals offered. There are also vendor fairs every now and then that sell the most interesting stuff you'll probably ever see.
Food and Dining The food is great! There are two options on campus, the Pacific Cafe and the cafeteria. The Pacific Cafe offers a great variety of snacks and soft drinks as well as their very delicious asian cuisine. The cafeteria serves basically anything you could want! Everything is made to order right in front of you.
Dorm Life No dorms.
Academic Rigor This is a community college and as such WILL be just as rigorous as the same classes would be at a university. Teachers will expect no less than university level work from you.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you take advantage of counselors, they're there for a reason! If you don't it is pretty easy to figure out through their extensive website and online services, but a counselor is always best.
In three sentences FCC is a great community college for everybody. It's clean, safe, fun, and aesthetically pleasing.

Academic Rigor Being a great A student is accomplish-able. I've made great mistakes in my college life but now, the tides are turning. I'm striving more then ever to be a stop student.
Tips for prospective students Stay focus on you studies. You must have a set mind on what you want to accomplish because you can be easily distracted. Last tip, always stay on top of your classwork.
In three sentences Fresno City College is a great college to begin with. With smaller class size you can easily get one on one time with the instructors. Fresno City College is filled with a diverse crowd that gives you many kinds of opportunity.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Stick to the well lit areas of campus, avoid night classes if possible and never leave anything valuable in your car
Greek Life Not a big thing at City but they do exist.
Clubs and Activities City offers many different clubs Teachers of Tomorrow, History Club, Volunteer club to name a few. They also have a theater program, Opera, live music performances, and the ever popular Asian festival! There are teachers on campus who are willing to extend their knowledge with you in any field. The teacher down the hall from my Micro econ class welcomes all those are interested in learning crochet and knitting!
Great for these types of students Athletes. Academic students who are in the Honors program. Mexican American students. Foster Care students. African American students. City offers quite a few programs such as Puente, Bridge and Honors program.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Old Administration building has been restored and looking just as it did 100 years ago. It gives the campus a nice college feel.
Bang for the buck Higly recommend doing a sport, or the Honors program. You get to apply for classes before everyone else and you don't ever have to wait in line.
What to do for fun Monday nights one block south for City is the Revue which has an open mic night in the back. It's a cute little coffee shop and the performers are pretty decent. Roger Rocka's Theater is also one block south. There are quite a few little local owned shops and thrift stores.
Food and Dining Recommended to explore the Tower District (one block south on Olive). They have a couple coffee shops, Ming's Chinese, Irene's, and the Loving Hut which is a vegan restaurant. Though I'm a meat eater Loving Hut has pretty good food. Try to the Teriyaki chicken to start.
Dorm Life City does have dorms but rarely anything is ever mentioned about them.
Academic Rigor Not as easy as people like to think it is. Don't slack off.
Tips for prospective students Avoid the parking for the first three weeks of school and park in neighborhood street before 7:20. Just make sure the street allows parking. See a counselor often and sit in the front row of your classes.
In three sentences Decent school for getting your GE underway. EXCELLENT nursing program. They are very helpful if you're looking for a job, financial aid, or transferring but you have to make the effort to go in yourself.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are SCCCD police everywhere at FCC, always keeping an eye out for troublemakers. They are usually friendly and helpful, and will even jump start your car if it needs a boost. The SCCCD police office is also located on campus. However, Fresno City is in the middle of a somewhat bad neighborhood, so while violence is often kept to a minimum, theft is forever rampant. I have been told many stories of stolen textbooks, Ipods, phones, computers, cars, etc. and have even had my hubcaps stolen, but there is a positive side. Most of the students are not bad people and believe in doing the right thing. I have also lost my laptop once and my phone three different times due to my own case of scatterbrain, and all three times have been lucky enough to have them returned to me by helpful people.
Clubs and Activities As I mentioned earlier, the variety of clubs on campus is astounding. there is a club rush at the beginning of each semester to introduce students and make them aware of what is happening at their campus. the teachers act as advisors, while the students usually take control of the sessions, which are scheduled all at different times throughout the week to allow for a variety of students to attend.
Great for these types of students People who are looking for flexible class hours, like a laid-back environment, want to save money, and thrive in a diverse population will do very well at Fresno City College.
Bang for the buck For the amount of money you spend, although it seems to increase every semester, you really are getting a lot for a little money. There are copy machines and computers available for use all the time. The staff is usually very willing to help with students' needs, and are often students at the college themselves.
What to do for fun There are many, many things to do at FCC. You are almost guaranteed never to be bored. For athletes, there is a long list of sports teams that, along with the more well-known sports, includes badminton and water polo.There are clubs on campus for a whole slew of hobbies, backgrounds, and cultural interests. They are usually mentored by the professors, run by the students, often have free food, and all meet at different times so you are sure to find one that fits into your schedule. the library has an amazing, broad assortment of books, magazines, and periodicals to satisfy one's inner nerd as well. Twice every semester, there are vendor fairs, similar to farmers' markets, and there is some neat stuff to be found at a bargain. Also, events are always happening in the free speech area, such as Native American Heritage day, Hispanic Heritage day, Protests, debates, etc. The campus frequently holds talent competitions for singing, dancing, and the like. Next to the cafeteria is a game room with air hockey and arcade games as well as a student lounge filled with couches and air conditioned for quiet comfort. It is host to many lectures and presentations throughout the semester.
Food and Dining There are multiple food options on campus. The cafeteria is chocked full of different types of pizza, salads, sandwiches, desserts, healthy snacks, and many drink choices at somewhat reasonable prices. There is a cart at the oppostie end of campus for students who cannot make it to the cafeteria before their next class. also, next to the bookstore is the Pacific Cafe, with many different choices of asian food, as well as choices like corn dogs and hamburgers, as well as a large variety or snack foods. In addition, many places on campus sell their own snacks to profit clubs. This is often the cheapest option. There is also Wendy's, KFC, Carl's Jr., and a Taco Bell, all easily within walking distance.
Academic Rigor Although I really have little to compare to, Fresno City seems on par with, and sometimes superior to, the academic standards at Fresno State University. many of the teachers are careful to push their students, and not to let them slack off simply because they are at a pubic school. There is an honors program on campus that I am a member of, and the Honors classes are very challenging, without being too ridiculously difficult. They simply make you think, which is the goal of any quality education.
Tips for prospective students The best possible tips I can give are to come early and bring an inhaler. the parking lots at city are always full, and drivers begin to get cranky after a while, which nobody likes to deal with. So come early to claim your spot. don't worry though, it gets better once financial aid checks are distributed and students are dropped for excessive absences, etc. The smoking policy on campus is currently that it is okay to smoke as long as one is at least 20 feet from the entrance to any building, though there is no real enforcement. efforts are being made to change this relatively unhelpful regulation.
In three sentences In three sentences, Fresno City College cannot be described, but it is worth attending if, like me, you need a quality education on a budget. The teachers that I have been able to work with, with one exception, all want the best for their students, and do not try and cheat you simply because you are a city college student and not attending some big university. The environment is not the classiest, but it's not meant to be a social hotspot, it's there to help your career.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I've never experienced or heard of any problems. There are campus police officers patrolling around throughout the day. Fairly safe given where the school is located.
Great for these types of students FCC is great for students that want to get most if not all of their general ed done while looking for a campus to transfer to. Being part of the SCCCD, FCC students have priority registration at CSU's throughout the state. So, go here if you need to save money before you transfer to a big university.
Bang for the buck Absolutely a great bang for buck even without financial aid. Units are fairly low in price and a lot of the books required for classes can be found used online for pennies on the dollar. For about two thousand dollars a student can finish two years of school here if you just factor in tuition & books.
What to do for fun There are always indie movies being shown as well as concerts and plays. You can actually kill a lot of time on campus.
Food and Dining The cafeteria is alright with several vending machines in and around the campus. Fast food is within walking distance.
Dorm Life There is no dorm life at Fresno City College.
Academic Rigor Depending on the classes taken, you can have an easy-very complicated time at FCC.
Tips for prospective students If you can, go during the evening as parking is much easier to find. You see a lot of professional adults in night classes too because they are coming from work. Trudge through your first semester and you should get a better registration date the second and then on. Do your best to test out of classes.
In three sentences The staff is very friendly here. Classes can be hard to get your first semester. Parking is a nightmare unless you're a night student.

Dorm Life There is no dorm on the campus's but there are decent price rental apartment around the school. It is near what known as Tower District where there farmers market, clothing store, banks, ect.
Academic Rigor It is very competitive. Because it is an community college where there are more student than professor you have to attend one on one meeting with your professor if you want good grades and feedback. Not all student transfer to 4 year college. It important to let the professor know that your serious because they might not know your needs because of so many student.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is always security on campus at any and every given moment but unfortunately there is only so much that can be done. I have been concerned for my safety with night classes, but have thankfully had no bad encounters. I have however heard of some recent cases and hope they do not continue to happen.
Greek Life Have always wanted to be a part of. I have no idea what the Greek life is like, but perhaps I shall try and follow up on it next semester. I have after all been invited.
Clubs and Activities To be honest, I wish there were more. I personally do not know of any, and this to me is a problem. Well there is the anime club, but I am referring to more educational and goal orientated clubs.
Great for these types of students Students who really want to learn and love to socialize.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The vendor fair is an occasional event here on campus. Vendors from afar and locally bring some amazing gifts. Very affordable too!
Bang for the buck I always feel I get what I paid for. Last semester my teacher was always late, but that was just her issue.
What to do for fun Check out the performing arts! Our ballet and wind ensemble is great! Political board meetings are a must attend!!! If you want to see the face of change, take part in some of these very informative and beneficial presentations.
Food and Dining The pacific cafe is great but does not accept atm. This is the only good thing about the cafeteria on the other hand. Great food, but a bit pricier than the cafe.
Dorm Life Have no idea, I live off campus.
Academic Rigor There should be more school spirit! The school spirit is there, but not enough!
Tips for prospective students The school is very large. If coming to class for the very first time, be sure to print out a map to guide yourself to and from classes. It can get crowded and packed at first. Parking will most likely be an issue too!
In three sentences Fresno City College has an atmosphere that resembles a University in nature. Teachers with professional backgrounds, students eager to learn, and architecture that makes the college a beautiful place to take up photography! Fresno city college is a great place to start college for the first time and even as a returning student.

Great for these types of students Great for students that are looking for an inexpensive way to start their college education.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a wonderful little courtyard behind the administrative building that is great for studying.
What to do for fun About a mile a way is the Tower District where you will find many quaint little coffee shops, stores and bars that offer a great night life. A little further away and you will discover some great little places in Downtown as well.
Food and Dining Campus food is okay, but you can also find good food and nice independent coffee or tea shops in the nearby Tower District or Downtown Fresno.
Dorm Life No dorms.
Academic Rigor Like anything, you will get as much as you are willing to put into it.
Tips for prospective students Parking is awful so make sure you get to school at least an hour before your class begins.

What to do for fun Lots of Clubs and Groups to join.
Food and Dining Pretty good qaulity and variety.
Dorm Life None
Academic Rigor The teachers gave slackers an A.
Tips for prospective students Go instead to Willow International, though it way be a drive, the education and environment is 200% better.
In three sentences Fresno City College is not recommended by me. The teacheres dont take the students seriously and the majority of students do not deserve to be treated that way because of their lack of respect and focus.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are lots of on campus clubs to choose from, plus I just recently found a ping pong table located behind the cafeteria. Close by is Fresno's Tower District, which has some nice cafe's and stores to kill time between classes.
Food and Dining There is a great on campus cafe with cheap food. Nothing fancy, just sandwiches and fries and like. But most people stop buy between classes. If not there is a plethora of fast food places in the area.
Dorm Life I don't know about dorms, but there are some nice apartments near by. I have a friend who lives in one and he says the upkeep in great and the prices low, perfect for a starting college student!
Academic Rigor Most classes are great, but it's really a school where you have to want to learn. You have to go to class and talk to teachers for grades and just general knowledge. These aren't courses you can just breeze through and expect to absorb tons of knowledge.
Tips for prospective students Figure out what general education requirements you need for your intended degree. I've heard too many horror stories of students in their fifth years, having to retake basic classes they didn't know they needed three years prior.
In three sentences This school is great for students in a transition stage from high school to college. It also is a great environment for older individuals looking to go back to college for better job opportunities in their chosen field. Fresno CIty College also has a great theatre program with many experienced professors hoping to help you on your intended career path.

Bang for the buck Teachers are dedicated and are eager to help you succeed.
What to do for fun Join a PE class! They have a really fun meditation class. Check out the new old administration building.
Food and Dining I reccommend the breakfast burrito in the cafeteria or the teriyaki bowl in the lounge area.
Dorm Life No dormer here.
Academic Rigor If there is anything that is excellent at this school it is definitely the teachers. They are absolutely brillliant, though they will say they're not. They strive to give their best and expect nothing less in return.
Tips for prospective students Don't let other people's past experiences here influence your decision to come here. It's a great school, you have to experience yourself. Counseling and financial aid are always very friendly and eager to help, which can't be said for some schools.
In three sentences Has definitely progressed with time from what I had heard about FCC. It's not as bad as people tend to say it is. It's friendly and full of excellent teachers.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck FCC tuition is very affordable compared to State University or UCs.
What to do for fun The campus is huge and allows students the opportunity to play roam around. The campus is located near the Tower district which thrives with great art and music and great locations for dinning.
Food and Dining Food could be better but sufficient.
Academic Rigor FCC has the largest accredited programs in the Valley and their programs are rigorous but student school very high on their state board exams and usually pass on their first attempt.
Tips for prospective students Although the class size my be large the instructors make every effort to accommodate students who have questions or need help. Beware of parking in the beginning of the semester. Arrive before 8 am and you are almost guaranteed a spot.
In three sentences Long standing history of great educators and a top leader in certified programs. Large class volume but instructors strive to make themselves available for one on one interactions. Students from across the Valley drive in order to attend.

Categories Comments What to do for fun On campus there are different events with music, food, and games. There's a pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, and the gym. You can also go to Tower district where there are lots of restaurants, stores, and other hang outs.
Food and Dining There is a large cafeteria and a smaller cafe. The food is not gourmet, but it's edible. Plus there are plenty of fast food places and small restaurants near campus within walking distance.
Dorm Life I do not live in the dorms, so I don't know.
Academic Rigor Depending on the courses you are taking, it can be very challenging. Some courses only have exams that you need to study for, while others demand homework and studying on a daily basis. Most teachers are willing to work with you on course assignments, because they understand there is life beyond the classroom.
Tips for prospective students Buy your books, parking passes, and anything else you need early! Everyone waits until the first day of school, so you will be standing in line for quite a while. Don't be too quick to judge people, because they can and do surprise you. Ask for help if and when you need it, there are many services on campuses and many people willing to help.
In three sentences The campus is very diverse and people generally try to help you out. The parking is terrible, but eventually you will make it to class. It is a comfortable campus with understanding people, and many events filled with food.

Greek Life I'm not too sure.
Clubs and Activities There are plenty of clubs and sports for students to get involved in.
Great for these types of students There are plenty of places to sit either indoor or outdoors both for a social and more serious setting.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus No, everything seems to be very traditional.
Bang for the buck There is a tutorial center with students who previously have taken the course and successfully passed. The hours are very open and available to all.
What to do for fun There are a ton of clubs to get involved in.
Food and Dining The food is good, a little pricey of course, not a whole lot of healthy choices, but if your into junk food the food is awesome.
Dorm Life I don't live in the dorms.
Academic Rigor The work is not hard itself, there is just a lot of work. Attendance is huge, if you show up and pay attention passing classes shouldn't be to tough.
Tips for prospective students Get to know your professors, in order to graduate in two years it takes four semesters of 15 units each. 60 units are required to transfer to a university.
In three sentences Small campus a much more intimate setting for students to develop a relationship with their professor.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Very unique people attend this school...
What to do for fun There is not much to do for fun activities other than hanging out with your friends during long breaks and maybe crossing the street to buy Taco bell or Wendy's.
Food and Dining Regular
Dorm Life There are no dorms.
Academic Rigor Some classes are relatively easy, but some are a little more rigorous. Although academic rigorousness isn't excessive, you can't succeed if you don't put in effort.
Tips for prospective students Classes fill up quick, seek all the help you can from the tutoring/writing center. Resources are available! Just seek them! Despite all negativity, success IS entirely possible here.
In three sentences Fresno City has a huge parking space problem... that diminishes about 9 weeks into the semester. Other than that, during the first weeks of school, parking is IMPOSSIBLE to find even after searching for 2 or more HOURS. Also, making friends isn't exactly easy.

Tips for prospective students Stay positive and be optimistic. College is challenging but the professors always strive to work with students who may need a little extra help. They want everyone to succeed.
In three sentences I enjoy attending Fresno City. There is a diverse student population as well as professors and it is a fun enviornment to learn in.

Categories Comments Campus Safety FCC has there own Police Academy program that also patrols the campus.
Great for these types of students People who want to prove themselves. FCC is a great Junior College with lots of professional people who sometimes don't have the finances to attend CSUF.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Old lady that collects the bottles and cans Is a retired teacher and should be respected... She gives out scholarships with the money she makes from recycling. Oh, and she drives a Prius.
Bang for the buck If you qualify for a Board of Governor's fee waiver it will make your life much easier. Books will always cost a pretty penny, but there are lots of students who may have already taken your prospective class and will sell you a book dirt cheap. ;)
What to do for fun -The 100-Year Old Library is Amazing
Food and Dining There is a large Cafeteria with plenty of options as well as an Asian Cafe with lots of food made to order. Plenty of vending machines and catering stands with lots of goodies.
Dorm Life I Live At Home With Mom's Cooking!
Academic Rigor The work is tough like you should expect at any college, but the teachers are reasonable and Do Not give you work that they Don't believe you can complete!
Tips for prospective students -Don't feed the squirrels -Don't feed the birds -Always say hi to 'the' lady that recycles bottles/cans
In three sentences I have been attending FCC for over 2.5 years and it has been a pleasant and rewarding experience. The staff are geared to helping students succeed and venture on to even higher education. I have had several teachers and they have all made my experience a great one. My best experiences include one of my teachers actually going above and beyond to prove to the school that i Know my stuff when I was struggling in my Math 103 Class. She agreed to waive my 103 if I could pass the first chapter test in her 4A Trig class. Much of the faculty at FCC are believers in students and that is one of the best experiences you can have at a Junior College.

First, do a state search.
Put in Asclepias and then click your state. My state is Virginia. Here are the results for Virginia:
http://plants.usda.gov/java/stateSearch ... eField.y=5
I'm starting a current plant/seed list for places to buy milkweed (Asclepias). If you know of a good source that I haven't list, then please share it. Just reply to this topic and any input would be appreciated. I've been working on a native milkweed collection at the botanical gardens where I volunteer (Meadowlark Botanical Gardens). You won't find the milkweed planted in one location. Some of it will be woodland, others wetland, others meadow.
