Las Positas is a very caring College. They put their students first. They make sure they are in a very comfortable environment.

Enroll in classes early, you might end up with classes you don't really need.

The professors are awesome.

Its a community college but there is town houses being built right next to the college.

FOR EVERYONE

There is campus security, and they give out the security guards numbers and officwe area.

community college is a brilliant, inexpensive way to get all your general ed classes and then transfer to a 4-year. las positas has some of the most caring and compassionate instructors that i have ever met. i really enjoy attending this college.

do your research. but you really do not have to look any further for a very good college to attend.

the food is a little pricey for college students, but i have not had a bad meal in the cafe.

there are a lot of clubs to join and las po has a radio station. that is fun right there.

you will definitely be happy at this college at only $36 a unit.

this is a very diverse campus. young and adults returning to college....many types of people at las po.

campus police make their presence known. but it is always a good idea for females to walk together to our cars.

The faculty here is outstanding. Every class I've taken here has required me to actively participate and engage in the class, which I was initially uncomfortable with. But, I've made great progress here and look forward to each class.

In addition to the awesome faculty, the student life is great here too. I moved to this area just a few months ago and have already made a great number of friends through classes and student organizations.

You'll get a top-notch education for community college prices. Two of my professors also teach at the CSU and UC levels, and teach just a couple classes here. I suppose that's a reflection of the poor economy, but I'll take the benefit!

If you're a military veteran, you will find no better choice. I have never worked with such a school that puts veterans first like this place does. I haven't had benefits this good since I left the service.

A lot of the classes that Las Positas College offers have around 30 students. This means that you can obtain plenty of information with the ability to ask questions, and get better acquainted with your professors. This not only makes your experience more hands on, but also increases your ability to succeed.

Many people categorize junior college as a continuation of high school. I do not agree. The majority of my professors here have been extremely helpful and I find that most really do want their students to succeed and do well. I have enjoyed my experience, and have done very well for myself.

Of course, junior colleges are cheaper than 4-year colleges. But, not only is the tuition cheaper, so are things like parking passes and there are also many different ways to go about buying books for cheap.

One major tip that I can offer is to stay on top of your work. Now that you are out of high school, deadlines are not as structured as you are used to. There are not many turn-in dates for rough drafts or work sheets. Most of the work is on you. It is best to make deadlines for yourself. If you fall behind, it will be unnecessarily difficult to keep up.

Las Positas College is great for students who do well with more one-on-one help and feel more comfortable in a more interactive environment. I definitely take advantage of teacher's office hours to work with them and as questions and couldn't have asked for more help. I also feel like this environment is far less intimidating than to be on a huge campus where you feel rushed to get to your classes. This is a much more low-key option but also very friendly and helpful.
