Never respond to emails and you can never get an actual person to answer the phone. I paid to reschedule because the first appointment I had they didn't let me test because I was missing a original form. and they kept the money order and never responded to my emails regarding the payment and never confirmed any new dates I picked. I will now repay FULL price to schedule my test and hopefully this time I can actually take it or did I waste money taking the CNA course twice and can't even get certified for it?

No accountability by the staff including the top administration. I felt unsafe coming here in general. Security gets there often late to resolve and not care of urgency. Too biased and censor significantly with freedom of the truth plus inclusion. Too much disfunction by the front by not knowing much to do in handling serious complaints. The VPs including Janet Houlihan & Claudia Lee, need to take responsibility along with all the deans too. Fire the bad staff and replace with better ones should be a start to go with. Doing the right act, not favor heavy because an employee nor staff works here, gender, or let along any favoritism. This 2 year college needs lots of real changes. Starting from top to punish more hard who do wrong even morally that falls towards the laws written. Don't recommend this college coming in especially as a student truthfully.

Their Men's waterpolo team is very unsportsmanlike and very disrespectful. As a team. I'm very happy my son didn't go to this college at all.

SCAM - Obviously used books are charged as full priced brand new books. Happened to me twice already with my health book and science book. I can't believe they would do this to students at a community college! Shameful! This is for sure the only devious thing at GWC because everything else at GWC is amazing at helping students.

Customer service is good, but school accessories are pretty pricey.

Affordable college with helpful staff. Being a veteran, I was anxious about the academic process required to get my benefits, but the Veterans Resource Center was able to help me out with every aspect required. Great service and wonderful people.

This is a great JC in the Central side of the OC. I mainly want to yelp their swap meet on the weekends i have been going to for many years now. My baby girl attends this college working her way up to transfer to UC Irvine and get her Masters and Bachelors degrees. Great student body instructors here. It may not be the top JC in all of OC, But they have wonderful programs and classes here.

Financial Aid Office staffs made me write this comment. My financial aid forced me to confirm my Bachelor's degree but I just graduated from High School, I corrected my FAFSA from July, August, I went to school for the first time, then the kid in the FAFSA office said she needed more 1 day for it to enter the system. The second time I went to school 1 week later, another staff member said that Sep 5th is a holiday so the system was down and she told me to wait 1 more week. I waited 1 week, maybe even 2 weeks. I emailed them asking and they told me maybe I haven't edited my FAFSA form, or I haven't pressed the sumbit button. If I don't press the submit button how will I get the FAFSA email and tell me I succeeded? Stop being lazy, okay???

This will be my second semester at GWC. I am a student at Fullerton College as well. I want to recognize a few people who work at GWC who have impacted me greatly. First, my counselor Phien Tran. Phien is the reason I have made the jump to GWC. He spoke very highly of this school and all that it has to offer. Phien was absolutely right! He is also my counselor at FJC and has walked me through the steps of being a student at two separate schools. He has made the process very easy and enjoyable. Second, I'd like to recognize Heather Antunez who is also my counselor at GWC. Heather has helped me develop a detailed Education Plan for the next two years. Heather knows exactly what she's doing and always seems to have the answer for any question I present. Lastly, I'd like to celebrate Andrea Garcia who is in Financial Aid. Andrea has been an advocate for me since I've transferred and had to deal with the appeal process. Andrea sat down and took the time to hear me out genuinely. Andrea put her hand out to me and helped in a way that I will never forget. She has helped me believe in myself on my journey through school. I am forever grateful for her time, patience, and guidance. Thank you to all! GWC has authentically participated in the turn around of my studies. Thank you GWC for giving me a chance and thank you to the Phien, Heather, and Andrea for all your effort and faith in me.

Discrimination. That was how i feel when talking to their financial aid staff. She was very mean to me - a low income, immigrant, untraditional student.

It's a pain in the a** getting financial aid for books. I was only able to get the fee waiver for tuition, but no money for books. And I have to fight tooth and nail to get the direct loan in order for me to buy books for class. This shouldn't be happening.

This is the best Junior College in Orange County. They have great programs for students to participate in. Classes are alot easier to apply for, even better online now. They have a great classes for Cosmotology, Political Science. Fire Academy and other great classes to take. For years i have enjoyed the swapmeets they put out on weekends. They have great instructors for online studies for all of their students. I dont know much their Financial Aid programs, but i could imagine t works out great for those in need.
