What Students Say
Los Angeles Pierce College stands out as an affordable option for students seeking a close-to-home education while fulfilling general education requirements. Many reviews highlight the caring and knowledgeable professors, along with supportive resources and programs, like Umoja, which cater to diverse student needs. The campus itself is appreciated for its natural beauty and modern facilities, though some students cite challenges with crowded parking and a lack of campus events aimed at boosting student engagement and spirit. While academic experiences vary with some professors excelling and others less engaging, students generally feel well-prepared for transfer opportunities to four-year universities. Overall, Pierce College is depicted as a welcoming community that fosters learning, though students feel there is room for improvement in student life and administrative responsiveness.

Pierce College has changed my life forever. I was an immigrant who came to the U.S. looking for a better life, and Pierce College was one of the only colleges to help me. They provided me with free student counseling so I could begin planning my educational path. I was a housekeeper with dreams of becoming a nurse, and Pierce College supported my lifelong dreams. As a single mother, I studied part-time while working more than 40 hours a week, and after six years I finally finished my associate degrees. Thanks to Pierce and their inspirational professors, I'm ready to pursue my Bachelor's Degree. Not only has Pierce helped me accomplish so much in my career, but I've also been accepted into the nursing program at Pierce and am so excited to begin this new journey in my life!

At Pierce Community College, I feel that my overall experience has been great! Teachers are very caring and there are many resources for everyone! They give great financial opportunities and also provide amazing counseling. I do believe their emailing system can be better, although they have great counseling, they lack in online communication. When it comes to events and student life, they give a great variety of workshops and events, but it would be more enjoyable if such events were year round.

My experience at Los Angeles Pierce College has been really positive overall. I’ve appreciated the supportive environment, especially the professors who genuinely care about student success and are willing to offer extra help when needed. The campus is beautiful with open green spaces, which makes it a nice place to spend time between classes. I’ve also liked the variety of courses available, which has allowed me to explore different interests while staying on track with my goals. However, I think there’s room for improvement in areas like counseling and class registration. Sometimes it can be difficult to get timely academic advice, and popular classes fill up fast. More resources for transfer students and clearer guidance would make the experience even better. Overall, Pierce College has provided a strong foundation for my education, and I would recommend it to others looking for an affordable and welcoming community college option.
