Citrus Community College

Don’t send your kids here. My son’s first semester. He got addicted to xanax. There are drug pushers here and they don’t do anything. They say kids are of age. Sad thing!

I am now a senior at Citrus, graduating this June and transferring to a nursing program. I have been attending since 2011. At first I was unsure about the school, but it has been the best choice i have ever made and the school made me a better person. The professors are great, my personal favorite counselor is Natalie D. which she is the reason I have been able to push so hard and she has always been there to guide me in the right direction. I must say that the education at citrus is solid. Education is not easy so study hard, take advantage of the opportunities that the school offers, seek counseling to create a clear vision, join a club on campus like LUSA (I was a part of) or an honor one to keep you involved and competitive, stay focus and don’t give up!!! Remember that patience and studying is hard, but a future full of regrets because you never tried is worst. Good luck to all of you and enjoy learning!!!

Its in a pretty nice school next to apu very safe area

Great campus, but I do have one complaint. So here it goes I visited the Student services building, the counseling department to be precise; and the blond guy/​receptionist was so rude. I had a lot of questions, and he just seemed annoyed, or bothered by my questions. Also towards the end he gave me some smart ass answers. Horrible people skills.

I’m not yet finished with my run at Citrus but I’d like to share my experiences so far. It’s relatively easy to get classes compared to other schools and the counsellors said its because they have fewer and fewer students every semester. If you’re looking for a school that isn’t impacted that has great professors, citrus is a great choice.
The campus is clean and spread out. If you’re a girl walking by yourself be careful if you take classes that end at 10pm! There are no lights on campus and it’s a long walk through a bunch of construction to get to the parking lots. Parking is a nightmare. I gave up on spending an hour every day looking for parking and now just bike or walk to campus. The only reason I knock off a star is because they MUST do something about the parking problem. Build a parking structure! Or more land for parking lots.
With the exception of the first week of school, no one really utilizes the counseling department so it’s not THAT hard to get an appointment if you call at 8am. They now only make same day appointments so know that before calling.
Citrus is a good school. You’ll get the same quality education as any community college in so cal.

Overall, I had a really good experience at Citrus. For the most part, I was a name and not a number. Many professors cared and a few had a huge impact on me. My academic counselors Maria and Natalie were great! Raul the transfer advisor is great with answering questions. But I do have a few complaints
One, the disabled services does not know how to work with blind students. The coordinator treats blind students and students with physical or mental disabilities as the same thing. However, blind students have different needs than other students. They wouldn’t provide a golf cart to take the blind student to her classes and she is suppose to find a way to get there and therefore has to ask other students. Even this student’s notetakers would complain when the blind student would ask them for walking them back to the student service building. Why do students have to be so selfish and just do a good deed!!! HELLO! She can’t see at all. I mean disabled should have made an exception to that if nothing else. And this blind student is suppose to find people to help her with her assignments instead of providing resources to her!!! It’s TERRIBLE! If you are a blind student, I wouldn’t recommend citrus for you cuz they won’t make exceptions to things and provide the resources you need.
I also thought it is weird how tutorial services doesn’t help you with homework and writing café only helps with editing papers.
Also with disabled, I was surprised how the director at chaffey college DPS program gave me more accommodations compared to citrus. At chaffey, I got breaks during exams, breaks during class, and audio books. Didn’t get any of those at citrus. The only accommodations I got at citrus were time and a half, shared notes, and recorder.
Lastly, I was misguided on my classes for my major. I am going to be attending CSUF this fall but will be behind since no one in the counseling department knew that I NEED to take ALL lower divison classes for my major on assist before going on to upper divison for my major. I wish they know about this but I let Raul know so counselors can be aware.
Other than those things, I am glad I chose to go to citrus or else I wouldn’t have had the professors I had and met the people I met.

I have attended both Mt. SAC and Citrus, and when it comes to quality education and services, Citrus is really great. It is very easy to get the classes that you need, the professors really care for your education unlike Mt Sac where to them. you are just another student in the crowd. Citrus may not be a big campus like Mt. Sac and Mt Sac has some nice facilities, but Citrus is still better and its not as crowded. Only downside is that Citrus is farther for me then Mt Sac, but it’s still worth the distance.

The counseling department is extremely unorganized and rude! I was interrupted several times as they decided to stop and talk amongst each other and chat about work and gossip. Aside from that the school is pretty meager when it comes to the choices you can make for classes due to the impacted classes and small faculty.
Classes are always crowded especially with popular teachers!

Love it here. The people are kind and the Professors are pretty cool. Wish it stayed open later, especially the Library, but all in all a pretty good school. I’ll definitely be back in the Fall.

Financial aid front desk are full of lazy, retards! I called and they told me to contact nelnets and the dept of edu. I did and they sent me a form to get filled and out, i walk in and the fat dude says yeah i cant help you with that. what the hell are you here for! the teachers i have had so far seems fine, but STUDENT SERVICES aren’t worth a buck!

I been attending citrus for the past few years, and I have to say that it is a pretty good school. They offer a great program for people looking to get into the mechanic field. Citrus has a deal with toyota so you can take a major that will specialize in toyota (also including scion and lexus) which is very cool. Having friends that go to Msac and I have browsed that campus, Citrus is alot smaller. I actually prefer that because my friends always talk about how the parking at Msac is horrible, and i always get good parking at Citrus. They also give you free access to printers, I believe its 500 copies per semester. As opposed to Msac, where they charge to use the printer. Overall, I think Citrus is a good community college. And its almost time for me to transfer out of here!

This school always seems dead. I don’t like the old fashion nursing department. It’s small. I can only speak for the nursing department because that’s what I’m in right now. The teachers are average. Some are horrible while others (just one so far) teach wonderfully. Parking sucks for the first 3 weeks of school but then it gets better.

CERTIFICATE IN ACCOUNTING
My first visit was the website, user friendly, all information is well placed & mostly up to date. Counselors are full of patience & helpful. I did certificate in accounting course. I did all the required classes. (traditional, distance learning-​online as well as hybrid.) All professors were very organized & helpful in every aspects. If you need more details about course feel free to message me. I will be more than happy to share my experience & give you guidance.
Library has comfortable chairs, clean but some times noisy. Campus is clean and safe but always stay alert of surroundings especially at dusk to late night. Starbucks on campus.

Everyone u met at citrus are very kind. This is my second year here I choose citrus because I knew it wouldn’t be as crowded as other community colleges :) I always get into the classes I need and want.

This school is really one of the best in the area, I’ve been to Chaffey College & tried Mount Sac. Neither school competes when it comes to the ease of getting classes, and quality of teachers here. The downside is the parking during peak semesters (spring/​fall) if your lucky it can take less then an hour to find parking for the first month so arrive very early during these times. Other then that this school is great, the professors actually help and the atmosphere is great.

After being out of school for more than 5 years, I’m back! I got tired of Mt. SAC and it’s busy, can-​never-​register-​for-​a-​class, over-​crowded campus! So I came here!
It’s been a year now since I started and my experience so far had been great. My first semester here, I was able to register for classes that I needed even though my registration appt was a week after it began! I guess some students didn’t pay for their classes and they got rolled over and lucky for me, I got the open spots! :) and it was that way for the next couple of semesters!
The only downside problem I’ve had is scheduling an appt with the nursing counselor! She’s always busy and never has any available spot! Gotta call the counseling dept 2 weeks in advance and early in the morning, like right when they open at 8am! And even then, I say, good luck to you! And when u do get that appt, make sure u show up and have all of your questions ready coz u only have 30 mins with the counselor!

This school has many things to offer. I have been coming here throughout the years… swimming lessons for my kid… gym workout for myself. They offer great children’s shows. Beware if you park by the football field make sure you have a pass and make sure YOU DO NOT BACK IN!!! they will ticket you… trust me :(

I am updating my review because while I have no issue with the campus, or classes there is a problem with getting appointments with counseling. I’ve tried for almost 2 months to get appointment or at least speak with a counselor about my direction. And I’ve had no luck whatsoever. It is very frustrating and I feel totally lost here. I am 48 years old and not trying to waste my time with courses I don’t need. Very disappointed…

Nothing good to say about this college. I came here to take some classes that were full at Cal Poly Pomona, since I was here I thought I’d try and get as many classes as I could. It seemed that all my classes were taught by coaches or other teachers not too familiar with the subject. In the 3 of my 6 classes I took the classes were taught by coaches and every so often one of their players would come in to ask sport related questions or get keys to open something or drop off equipment. It was annoying and always interrupted class as that player seemed to be the priority.
Trying to make an appointment to see a counselor? GOOD LUCK, better camp out or wake up early. I tried for two weeks straight and all I heard was ‘Call back tomorrow, we are booked today and for the rest of the week’ apparently they are short counselors and book a week in advanced.
I would NOT recommend coming here, I don’t feel I received a good education and the staff was not helpful or considerate at all. I would have rather waited another year to take my classes needed at Cal Poly or another campus.

Dear Citrus Students,
I am so glad you are pursuing higher education, but please be considerate of the people who live in this area. I know you are late for class but please remember our children are walking home from school down these streets, speed limits are posted for a reason.
On that note, I did attend school here and I had some great professors here. Glendora is a great community, even if you don’t live here, please respect those that do.
