Cerritos College Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

To go talk to your counsler! You can ask your friends for questions here and there but your counselor can probably answer your question a million times better and then some. Especially when it comes to what classes to take and aid info.

I wish would knew how seting up your class and schedule can be. You have time your class to make sure they can fit for you. Once your in college its a big step from high school. Your a independent person and you have to make sure you take care of business and depend on yourself and have a focus drive to achieve your goals.

I wish I would have know that all of the work I did in High School that wend towards college credit expired. But that was my fault for waiting so long to go back to school.

One thing I wish i knew before i started college is that the teachers in high school were serious that our furtures are in our hands and everything we do will reflect on to our future, showing up to class will help you pass class instead of going to play billards at the student center with your friends and that reading a chapter is not skimming a chapter. JUST DO YOUR WORK!

To have been better prepared for the enrollment process. Coming back to school at my age things have changed a bit.

Jasmine

I wish I had known more people who were enrolled in this school so that they can show me around campus.

I wish that upon attending Cerritos College I would've known there financial aid progress was very long. I attended a whole semester without any financail aid.

I wish I had known about the Mental Health Worker Program so much earlier; if I had known, I would have came straight to Cerritos after graduating high school, instead of spending a year at CSULA (which I had to leave because i did not have enough money to keep attending). It wasn't until about my second semester at Cerritos that I heard about it and joined. Now I'm on my way to recieving a Mental Health Worker Certificate AND Associates Degree! It's great.
