This school for me was exactly what I needed once I got out of high school. The pressure of having to go to a 4 year university is intense for some people and it is awful that community colleges are looked down upon as if you’re lesser if you attend one. However this college was amazing. The professors here are well educated and you’ll learn a lot from them. I recommend this school to anyone who wants a place where they won’t feel pressured to have to make a choice right away and to some who wants a great education at a low price.

Get close with your professors Network and make good connections Take it seriously

It's open enrollment so you just need to sign up for classes. It might be a good option if you want to do two years here and transfer to another college for junior and senior years.

I would suggest purchasing a parking permit, it will save you a lot of time and hassle. The permit can be used on Cuyamaca and Grossmont grounds, so if you travel between the two or attend both, a permit would invaluable to you. Do everything within your power to know which classes you want to take and get them as soon as your registration date allows. Always look elsewhere for book offers, check Amazon, and any other places that could possibly offer your books for a cheaper price or for free, its worth the effort. Never be late to class, especially if its the first day; some teachers will drop students immediately if they aren't in the class on time. If you want a course and you aren't too far down the waitlist (20th spot and beyond), crash it, go on time and be prepared. Lastly, don't forget to make use of the school's wi-fi and STEM center, you're paying for it.

Set your goals, stay focused, and keep your school work on the front burner at all times. Go at your education full speed and don't slow down. Keep your eye on the prize.
