Skyline College is a wonderful institution. As a STEM student who doesn\'t feel confident in my math and science classes, I feel well supported by the students and faculty. I think the school provides a lot of resources that enable student success.

Goldy - 04/24/2020

I definitely think Skyline College is a good community college to go to, there's so many resources on campus to help students whether it's tutoring for different subjects in school for free, a community food bank that takes place on campus every Thursday for anyone, and there's always workshops for financial, career, and almost everything. There's a lot of programs to help students such as our health center where they offer free counseling, a disability resource center for those who need more support services for any documented disability, a veterans resource center for those who are active duty members who are going to school as well. We also have a sparkpoint center at our school that has so many resources for students such as financial coaching, a food pantry and a free community market that helps students and families with groceries, and they have resources for anyone that is undocumented or an immigrant. Also, Skyline has a huge amount of parking areas for students and there's also a public safety department on campus to ensure safety.

    If i could go back in time and give myself advice, the first thing I would say is "Don't smoke, drink and party so much. Take your studies more seriously. Start college early (concurrent enrollment), and save the partying for after college. Buckle down now and you'll have the time and money and party".

  3. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The ESL lab at Skyline College is very small. There are only four computers in which you can use ESL software. Some of these software would help you with pronunciation, accent reduction, vocabulary and speaking skills, but you cannot practice without bothering the person who is seated right next to you and who would be probably trying to concentrate on building his grammar or reading skills.
