This is a very good college despite being a community college. People cringe whenever they hear of "City," but its actually a very highly ranked community college in the country. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and I had a wonderful time. The courses are not really hard, but challenging enough. Its infamous for its Chem 101A class, its at the same level as UC Berkeley! It has a really good science department (I am a biochemistry major, the science building was literally my home). There are various resources and the tutition is pretty cheap. So consider this place if you want to tranfer to a godo UC or something.
The number of students who study the Russian language in U.S. colleges has dropped in half since the end of the Cold War. Chinese, on the other hand, has doubled.
