 " I attended PCC center for art, majoring in digital media art - interaction design.  Pasadena City College which is located in Pasadena, California, USA. Great location! Buildings are a bit old but they’re renovating multiple divisions. There are over 80 clubs which is outside of class for student join. such as, the  astronomy club connects with JPL and Cal-tech. I love listening to their lectures and stargazing from time to time. They use legit telescopes. 'SHE.CODES' club provides workshop, tutoring session for programing. They also provides career advices and internship opportunities.
I really enjoyed my time at the school. Very welcoming and friendly environment that offers you help around every corner. Most of the teachers are very knowledgable, very eager to help and very approachable. "

 " PCC is a great community college. Their transfer rates are high and it is easy to make friends if you put in the effort. There are plenty of clubs to join as well. It is a community college so it is mostly a commuter school, but there still is a social scene. The only downside is classes fill up quick, so unless you have priority registration, you may be unable to to get the class sections you prefer. "

 " Good school for those who want to obtain a certificate, get an Associate's degree, or especially for transferring to a four year university. There's also a lot of support programs for all types of students and the school is really inclusive. "

 " After not finishing a degree at an expensive private art college, PCC was a lifesaver. It’s affordable and has the classes I need to get back on track for my design career. Very helpful financial aid advisors, academic advisors, and faculty. I’m still attending and I’m grateful to have found this place. "

 " I enjoyed my experience at PCC. I ended up getting paid $10,000/year thanks to financial aid, and I was later able to transfer to a UC without issues. Great way to get a cheap good education. There's a lot of parking available but most of it is usually full. Library and computer lab are great to study. Wifi works fine. Clubs are great, but the school lacks an engineering club that is not just for women.
There was staff that helped me write a resume and apply for internships. There is also support for low income and homeless students. "
