    I enrolled in a class here about 13 years ago for my teaching credential (subject matter/CSET prep) and I had not been back until Thanksgiving 2018. I came here today on behalf of team Isadore Hall. He and a few local representatives sponsored an event to give away free turkeys for Thanksgiving to the residents of Compton. I volunteered with my cousin passing out the turkeys. It was a great event. Now let's talk about the college itself. The overall appearance of the college has had a facelift. There are more buildings on campus. We were stationed near the baseball field by gymnasium. My only complaint is parking. I didn't see much parking. As a matter of fact we had to park on an unpaved area. Compton College appears to be a small campus. Campus security was present throughout the campus. I did noticed that there was a child development center on campus that I never knew existed. Basically, it's a junior college so they offer associate degrees. I work for the city of Compton so it's nice to know there is a public junior college right in the neighborhood.

    Does anyone know if you could change your major while the spring semester is still going on?

    I used to go to Santa Monica college and it was horrible I used to feel like I was in competition with other students for a good grade.

    Community college is supposed to be accessible to the general public. Although LBCC is a public…read moreschool, the administration makes it just about as difficult and vague and tedious of a process as possible. Phone wait times are cuh-raaaaaay-ZEE. Bunnies. Bunnies. BUNNIES. Everywhere, all the time, and they're fat and imposing and not skittish at all. You WILL be having to move out of their way, because they won't move out of yours. This has been going on for years and years and is sort of a charming part of LBCC. There are just as many bunnies as students on campus at any given moment, and it's comical. Social life and opportunities on-campus are also a plus. In general, the culture here is very chill, very live-and-let-live. There are constantly scouting events, some subtle and some not, so if you have any desire to be on a t.v. show or in a movie, or a part of some experiment or prank or whatever, you don't have to look very hard...it'll be just as likely that you'll get approached first. Parking lots (of which there are several, including a five-story complex), on top of the fact that you have to pay for a new sticker every semester, are ill-equipped to handle the volume of cars that LBCC needs to host. In addition to having to leave wiggle room for everyday traffic, I vividly remember having to leave additional room on top of that for the parking lot circling. The one great thing this school had going for it was/is a big handful of the instructors. I had a few that made a positive, lifelong impression on me, and I'm grateful for that. Extra shoutouts to Lauren Dees. Her drawing class was AMAZING!

    This is for the review for the graduation. The graduation was fine, but I am not sure why schools…read morealways do last minute changes for graduation?!!! The school is torturing students! The weather news said "we were not suppose to be outside in 105 degrees weather, but the school decided to change the graduation location at the last minute!!! They should have separated the majors on different days for the graduation, so we did not have to wait long!!! Many people waited long with sun in their faces!! They should have had solar panel at the stadium or host it inside!! A lot of people got sun burnt! There was no water fountain near the bathroom!! Furthermore, the graduation was okay. I would not recommend going to it!!

    The admission process can be a bit much, but afterwards I felt really great about choosing which…read moreclass to take, how much money I am going to owe and how much help I am going to get. Classwise, I am only taking one class at the PCC campus every Friday and 4 at the LAC campus. The PCC campus is great because it's not too crowded, the buildings are newer and closer together. It's very tranquil when I sit outside and decompress from 4 hours of statistics. It also helps its blocks away from my house. :) LBCC has been a great community college choice. Taking one star away because of the constant construction or maintenance I keep running into. Today the bathroom on the first floor of the building I am in is out of order. Slight inconvenience but have alternatives. Willing to give a five star should I not have this problem next month.

He is transferring to CSULB after completing his AA degree with 2 certifications in his chosen field. We appreciated his counselors who helped make the transfer easy! Highly recommend this campus. Why spend more money on the first two years of college when there is no need? Start your higher education path here! The end.
