Great school for transfers! ELAC has given me so many different opportunities. I have always been supported and guided by counselors and alumni alike. Given opportunities for internships, networking, federal work study, financial aid assistance, transfer talks, field trips with MESA, clubs, a safe environment, free food passes, a free shuttle, free tutoring, free merchandise, not to mention the low cost of tuition and other fees. Most of the professors here are really great. As of now I am attending UCLA to pursue my major in Linguistics and Computer Science. ELAC continues to strive for the best in helping ALL students succeed. I couldn’t have asked for much more. You receive so much assistance here and it only continues to grow.. but you do have to go and reach out for it. Stay engaged and you’ll reap the rewards. Best community college in the entire district.

Go Huskies!

Throughout my time here, this campus is a must for students from all walks of life. The atmosphere of this place is that the staff and faculty genuinely want the best for their students. I've attended two other college campuses in the past, let's just say (in the most mildest of words), it's a bit different. Here, on the other hand, the faculty are more or less, people who either came from this community or attended college here. Now, they want to contribute back. I'm near thirty years old now, and although not a man in my late teens or early twenties. I've learned quite a bit from my errors, and it's not too late. In fact, I'm nearly done with coursework. What happens after that, I'm not too sure. But for now, I'll be patient.

The library is really nice. It's very quiet and you really do get a lot done here but what was disappointing is that they don't allow wifi access if you're not a student. I'm an alumni and I graduated here and I came here to the library to study for my board exam and I couldn't even use my lap top. It's ridiculous and honestly it should be changed at least for individuals that graduated here.

The student workers and supposedly Professional employees are rude and unhelpful. There’s always Sherriff cars and officers patrolling the campus. Half of the time they’re just talking to each other or flirting with the students so just be careful if you need help I don’t know who will help you. The offices atmosphere are hostile too. The school mostly only cares for its Latino students instead of all its students succeeding. I only came here unfortunately because it’s the closest to where I was living at before. Other than that I would’ve never came here, it’s a mediocre education and school. They advertise everything to be inclusive and against bullying and sexual harassment but in reality it is all hypocritical because they do nothing about it. I have seen, heard, and experienced this all so that’s why I am trying to warn y’all. Please choose your school wisely and do what is best for you!

The teachers in the school could not help me at all. When they asked me about the financial aid, they asked me to call them by myself. The phone calls did not solve any problems at all.
