What Students Are Saying
The campus is beautiful. The teachers want to be there and love what they do. Classes are offered online and hybrid style.
Alicia from San Francisco, CA
I love foothill because the campus is beautiful and when you don't have time to workout climbing stairs and walking hills helps a lot. All my teachers have office hours to help me and my classmates are all friendly. I love the food here, it's just the best and the classes are challenging but rewarding.
