While I did enjoy going to school here because of the nice campus and people, El Camino doesn't hold their own degrees of high value, when I tried to apply...

Most of the people won't try very hard to help if you're looking for information. The website can be better help, if it has current information. Sometimes its not updated even old! CARE is a great program. If you're a single parent head of household on CalWorks they have a lot of help even a separate grant in fall and spring. CalWORKs helps fill out your hours paperwork and more. CalWORKs work- study program is separate from the work study program. They help pay your work study hours. They'll work hard to help you find a campus job. EOPS was good, but I was told things that weren't true that I was depending on. They also have a separate grant in fall and spring. They provide a book and a supply voucher in fall and spring too. They have educational counseling and planning. They have their own tutoring you can make appointments for. Basic needs was always very helpful. They have many ways to assist your financial situation while attending college there. Metro UPass, food, clothes, housing assistance (not sure what it offers). The Financial aid office (whoever responds to emails) was not helpful, they know most students need help from them and they can get away with it. They reply to emails with short answers as if we should know all about everything. It became dreadful when I needed to contact them. I usually had simple questions. The people in the office where you go to submit paperwork are very kind and helpful. They aren't the ones answering emails. ❤️ The Library has some textbooks (if available) you can stay there for a few hours, if your books are too expensive or you cant find them. They rent out laptops and calculators with your student ID. There is tutoring available for many subjects there. There is a study center with computers to use on campus and areas with tables to study. There are quiet study areas too! I was upset about receiving a scholarship I was told would transfer with me. Then ECC scholarship office said the donor (Rotary Club) changed their mind when El Camino scholarship office found out I was no longer going to a state university (I didn't like the campus) but another community college where I am supposed to be moving to. It was frustrating! Will add more later ...
