In which ways do you feel you are learning and growing?

I've only taken a few classes here, but all of them have been important and I have used the information from those classes outside of them. I've learned how to write in a much more clear and concise way, as well as I have learned how to analyze much better, both in text and in real life.

How are you enjoying your time at this college?

I have been enjoying my time at this college. All of my classes have been great with fantastic professors that teach well and care about their students. I haven't had much of a social life in relation to this college though, since I never managed to be in a position where I could easily meet new people. Overall though, I have had a good time here. I feel like I've been learning a lot and it has been a very high quality experience.

In what ways do you feel this college challenges students academically?

Students are challenged to improve. Even if it doesn't seem like it, students will improve and learn in their classes, and it will subconsciously be brought over to other classes or. portions of their life. It also brings people out of their comfort zone. You may have to speak in front of your class or talk to new people or even conduct an interview for a class project.

Am learning a lot
I take the Broadcasting and Cinema classes so its very useful that I'm getting a hands on approach so I know what I'm doing.
Am enjoying being here
Being that I am saving quite a bit from going here, I do enjoy that. I'm really looking forward to finally transferring to a 4 year next year. Don't want to be here too long.
Bang for the buck
I get fee waivers so I don't pay for my classes. Only thing I really buy is books but I just rent them from other sites which is a lot cheaper.
Tips for prospective students
If your grades after high school weren't quite good enough to land you into a 4 year college like me, finish your GE here and remember to do really well. They even have an honors program that has some ties to other universities.
Great for these types of students
People whose grades weren't so hot after high school or people just looking to learn something knew.

Chaffey has taught me so much, not only in classes, but about life as well. The classes vary in difficulty, but I always learn a lot.
Am enjoying being here
I LOVE Chaffey! It has a great environment, and I have a wonderful group of friends that make it so much better! I have made wonderful friends both from being in classes with them, and also from hanging around the same areas on campus. Make sure you aren't completely closed off to people, and you will have a great experience here!
Bang for the buck
I have a BOGW Fee Waiver, which I got by filling out my FAFSA. It makes the fees super inexpensive, although books can be pricey.
Tips for prospective students
Apply as soon as possible, the longer you are here, the better registration date you will get. Don't be afraid to fight for a spot in class, waitlist, waitlist, waitlist!!
Be open to meeting new friends wherever you are on campus, from in class, to when you're buying a snack in the bookstore.

There are so many scholarships that are offered through the Associated Students of Chaffey College, and the Foundation Office. All students can apply for these scholarships.

I recommend you to visit the campus. It is small, but it is convenient and advantageous when it comes down to whether or not you want to be knowledgeable of the resources available for you.

Chaffey College has a highly motivated and friendly population of students and faculty.
