Sprawling community college in a nice central location on the peninsula. Was there for a soccer game, and the facilities looked well-maintained. The roads are a bit windy and could be confusing at times. Plenty of parking spaces.

This is the coolest college I could have landed at. Not only is the curriculum new, this school gives people the gateway into the real world of business, tech, and the humanities with what's most current and easiest to understand. I must top that with the WHOLE staff cares. I have yet to find an instructor who doesn't devote their entire being into the care of each of their students thank you Foothill for helping immensely in creating who I am today! To infinity and beyond!

English classes are graded arbitrarily (one out of 20 assignments can swing you from an A+ to a C+, and if the instructor feels like it, an F.) If you question the final grade, the first response is "grades are at instructor discretion". The dean will say that they do not make judgements on grading issues but will write down your concerns. When you inevitably drop your case due to uncooperative dean and professor, the dean will turn around and put in writing that the grade was in fact fair and start defending the professor in writing, even though they earlier said they do not make judgements. So the dean can step in on the side their staff but not the student. Also if you go over 12 units, you have to pay not only for the excess units but ALL units. Unbelievable college.

Foothill college is literally the best community college out there. The teachers are, in my opinion, world class and always go out of their way to provide students with a robust education. Also, it's affordable and excellent for achieving your goals.

Also, the school has a fitness center open to the community. It provides amazing equipment and with monthly and semester installments, it's an affordable alternative to mainstream gyms.

It is a good community college. I prefer it to de anza and west valley. However, it is far from perfect. Some of the professors are a bit evil and their teaching quality varies greatly. The stairs are also very annoying to climb but it is like a free stair master. I would recommend going here if you are out of shape because you will get buff legs. The people are a bit antisocial but the majority are nice when you get to know them. The ambiance of the campus is also pleasant with the trees, hills, and fountains.

Foothill college is always great to be at. The teachers are there when you need to learn and get help. The campus location is unique and always worth it to come to and take a walk around the campus or even check out whats for you. The library is a very big place and big enough to get some studying done when you want to it is also a good place to take a break, get ahead or even go for a break. The food at the campus which is Kj's and the cafeteria are a reasonable place at the college to go to and buy food. The bookstore has got all the essentials for your classes, and has the amount of things that are reasonable to help you buy books and different things.

Campus is nice. Counseling center leaves a lot to be desired. It's almost impossible to make appointments because of their AWFUL system. Seriously, it's really bad. If you have anything time-sensitive that requires the counseling center, just assume you wont be able to get it done on time.
