Reedley College is the quintessential community college to serve the Central Valley. Its affiliation with other colleges allows them to offer a broad range of courses. It is perfect for high school graduates to get used to the feeling of being a college student.
Tips for prospective students
Get to know the campus. Very often, students miss out on helpful programs and resources because they just don't know about them. Furthermore, don't be afraid to join classes for the fun of it. Due to cheap tuition, it is very easy to have fun classes in your schedule.
Academic Rigor
The classes offered aren't the most strenuous, but that also means that they aren't very challenging. These classes are best to set students up for a future four year university, not to be stand-alone classes by themselves. If you wish to be educated on a community level, however, his college has what you need.
Dorm Life
The Residence Hall is a new building on campus, and it made the out-of-town student population rise drastically. The dorms are well-maintained and close to the main campus.
Food and Dining
The cafeteria on campus serves food at a much higher quality than is expected by community colleges. While not a five-star meal, the variety of restaurants nearby offer a quick alternative if you want one.These include a KFC, McDonald's, Carl's Jr. (Hardee's), Port of Subs, Jack In The Box, and Subway, as well as other, local restaurants, such as Juanito's Mexican Restaurant, China Garden and Main Street Cafe.
What to do for fun
There is a substantial amount of extracurricular activity on campus, ranging from sports, clubs, music, and events. The clubs cover a diverse range of topics, and it is very difficult to not find a club to suit your needs. The library on campus is impressive, when compared to the size of the campus, and the close proximity to the river allows for outdoor activities, such as picnics or swimming in the warmer months.
Bang for the buck
The classes on campus are very affordable, and financial aid is readily available for every student who comes from a low-income family. However, while this college would be an affordable option to those currently living in California, those coming from out-of-state should prepare by raising more funds.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Because of the close ties with a small town community, there is always something to do, whether it be the annual Fiesta parade every fall, the Electric Farm Equipment parade in December, or the various other holiday celebrations. On campus, locations of particular interest would be the library, where you can find a vast variety of books to read, or the vineyards by the river, where you can take a walk or ride a bike at all hours of the day. The Freedom of Speech platform beside the music building also offers an open air for any and all who are interested in speaking their mind about anything.
Great for these types of students
This college is great for students from low-income families, and for those who have not decided on a university to attend. This is also a great option for those interested in joining the work force, as there are plenty of vocational classes available.
Clubs and Activities
As stated before, there are numerous club on campus to facilitate almost any interest. The Community Band is offered as a free, one-unit class to all students, and there are several competitive sports teams, including volleyball, basketball, tennis, baseball, and racquetball.
Campus Safety
The Campus Police keep this campus safe from any and all threats. While the city of Reedley has a history of gang violence, the college and the neighborhoods around the college are well protected. No one should be afraid of attending college, and at Reedley College, you won't be.
