It is a really great school. I have been there for 4 years and the teachers are nice, helpful, and caring. Everyone minds they're business and be on their own. It's a really a safe haven for students.

I have been to two other community colleges before starting at Cypress: Rio Hondo and Fullerton. I have nearly enough credits for my AA, and I chose to finish at Cypress for the Drug Studies Certification program they offer. The entire Human Services department is outstanding. Professor Zager is wise, caring, fair, experienced in the field, and I could sit through any of his lectures and the time just flies by, he is that well-spoken. I have taken classes with Professor Adams as well. He is another extremely knowledgable and experienced professor. This college is pretty awesome, everything from the small campus layout (I don't feel lost, I feel right at home) to the professors, to the student services/financial aid offices. I highly recommend Cypress.
