Most teachers here do a great job at teaching their subjects with the exception of a few of them. They have a great class selection to choose from so there's always something new to learn each semester.

The atmosphere is pretty friendly and there are not too many critical problems going on in the school.

I'm paying out of state tuition right now, but the normal $26 per unit is a very good deal compared to other state community colleges. For anyone wanting to gain a higher education, this is a good deal.

1. Register early! Classes are filling up fast now since the economy went under, especially in the state of California itself.
2. Make sure to meet with a counselor as soon as possible so you can have your education goal and the classes you need for it put in place.
3. Show up for the first day of class otherwise you will be dropped. This school has a strict attendance policy where you can only miss up to three unexcused absences.

If you think the cost of a 4-year university is expensive and you want to save money on gaining a general 2-year education, then ECC is the place for you.

So far all of the people I've had the pleasure of speacking with have been able to help me, and they seem like the counselor help you out a lot. I say that because when I was attending CSUDH, the counselor would just give you a list of the classes you needed to take and that would be all and at El Camino they walk you step by step, depending on you chosen major.

Always speak to counselor, and make a carrer plan before signing up for classes. That way the couselor will tell you if there is a prerequisite, and if there is sometimes you can take a test to meet that prerequisite and save yourself some time and money by doing so. Also if you talk to a counselor you will feel a lot less lost and you will have the peace of mind that you are taking the classes you need in order to achieve your goal.

I think this college is great for any type of student, the one that doen't know what his major will be, oor for the one that want to transfer, or for the one that wants a short career.

I did the Nursing program and learned a ton! I passed the NCLEX on my first try and feel completely prepared to enter the workforce as a Registered Nurse.

Most of my teachers were amazing, and I made some very good friends in the program. However, the administration and staff are not always very helpful, and you'll be on your own figuring out a lot of the logistics.

I had the Board of Governors' Fee Waiver, and paid next to nothing for my education.

If you want to do nursing, this is a great program! However, be warned that it is becoming very tough to get a job with an Associate's in Nursing, as most hospitals are now requiring a Bachelor's degree in Nursing.

A wonderful place for first time college students! Also a great place to start your college course load and then transfer! The Photography Lab is a gem!

The teachers here at El Camino really love their job and helping students. Of course there are a few exceptions, but rare here at El Camino. The tutoring offered are very helpful as well. They offer various hours and styles of tutoring. The teachers also are willing to help you during their office hours and sometimes after.

The atmosphere is very friendly and fun, only thing i hate is the smoking every where. If they could designate areas for smoking then that would be great and make the school even better.

The price of classes and books are reasonable.You get your moneys worth.

Join a sport or the fresh year experience program so you can have priority registration. Getting classes is very hard if yo don't have priority registration.

Students who aren't quite ready for the big cal states or universities. Also great for students who need to save money and work while attending school.

I first thought that El Camino was going to be a repeat of high school, little did i know that I learned new and interesting lessons. My classes are challenging but I love it. Everyday going to school is exciting.

Even though, college has few learning resources available, there are lots of faculty members who are willing to spend time with their own students and help them understand course materials.

There are lots of clubs that you can join. Clubs promotes social activities which include fundraising, working with professionals who have vast knowledge related to your major, and museum trips where you learn different cultures.

There are aids available low income students. One of them is fee waiver that if a student can prove that he is not able to afford for tuition, he or she can be qualified for waiver to save money.

Always think positive. Even though the school is not near to level of 4 year university, you can learn lots of things here.

Students who don't know what to do in the future.

The professors here are very helpful in assisting you with anything. If you did not understand the day's lesson, they will offer office hours after class to help you.

It is a very comfortable environment with friendly people that would not mind being friends with you. i feel safe in the school and I know where I can go in between classes to do productive work.

It is super cheap compared to a college or university and the transportation that leaves you directly in front is very time-saving.

Ask questions and get to know your teachers.

El Camino College has great resources for students to complete their daily assignments. The parking has improved and it makes it easier to arrive for class on time. The library has great tutors available for assistance.

Use your resources for help on any topics and don't be afraid to ask for help.

There are many eating locations walking distance from around the school.

The atmosphere in the library helps complete homework so make sure you hang out in there a lot.

The student center offers tours to different schools.

The security guards are always roaming around.

in my opinion el camino college is a great school. the counselors and teachers that i've had are very helpful. i rate this the number one community college.

students should be prepared for a lot of reading in the english courses and sign up for as many activities as possible.

the food is great. i love it.

for fun students should join the dance group.

it is a very safe campus and we always have el camino police walking around
