 " My experience with this college was great. After having a gap of ten years without attending school, I found teachers to be great mentors, always happy to help get the best of you. They work around you if you have trouble out of school (work, personal). I got a lot of additional outside sources to study, that will help me with my classes. They offer a lot of food options. They have a lot of student services and academic support, Counseling, Transfer service, Financial Aid, tutoring services, etc. "

 " I enjoy attending DVC. I think it offers plenty of classes for a community college, and the quality of their content is equivalent to other universities. Diablo Valley College also has great, educated and caring professors. "

 " DVC is a great get in get out kind of community college. You need to be motivated to get through and be careful when choosing classes. Some of the professors are really great but others are not so great. I relied a lot on rate my professor when choosing courses and found that helped me choose classes and professors that would be manageable for my schedule. The counselors wern't very helpful I ended up doing most of the work myself using Assist and doing a lot of my own research. Overall if you are a self motivated and determined to get your degree or to transfer DVC isn't a bad option. "
