I studied and worked at this school. Honestly, u will get to where you desire to go if you input time and effort... especially, the science classes are actually good with highly qualified professors, indeed, few adjuncts might be bad. Anyone with a strong ambition and discipline will do well at this school.

I don't recommend Rio Hondo College! I received a D and a 4 credit passing. I was denied my A. A because Rio Hondo has a rule that students must receive a C or better to graduate. I believe is all about making money at Rio Hondo College they don't care about their students.

The people in admissions office is so rude. You call to get guidance and ask questions but are hit with rude responses. How are we suppose to feel confident in calling and asking questions when they treat students like this?

The workout room is super nice, fun leaves you desiring more, parking seems ample, but I'm not a student, but just a visitor to the campus

Unfortunately I had to attend Rio Hondo due to it offering a specific program I needed. I went into it with an open mind and that was gone very quickly. I have gone to many colleges and have NEVER been treated the way I have been here. Nobody answers emails or phone calls. Administrators talk down to you and are extremely disrespectful. They are supposed to want to help students and that is far from what they do at this school. I'm sad I had to waste my money here. If you're able to drive a little further to go to a different community college, I highly suggest doing so. It's really unfortunate that they will not own up to their behavior and fix it. Definitely will never return to this school.

This place seriously made me waste 2 years of my life completing classes I had already completed in Cerritos just to add money into the community

Have been spinning at this studio for almost a year. Instructors are very motivating, and provide excellent instruction. Awesome music and very upbeat atmosphere.

I attended Rio Hondo in 2012 because it gave my high school priority registration for classes. After a couple of years I was able to transfer to Berkeley which I am grateful for. (ACADEMICS) The difficulty of your classes will depend HEAVILY on your professor. I had to dropout of a course because the professor was a disorganized mess. I retook the SAME class with a better professor and aced it easily. PLEASE USE RateMyProfessors. It will save your GPA. The students don't really give a damn and the general difficulty is a joke with the exception of STEM. I had classes where professors would recite the ANSWERS to the exam and people STILL FAILED. (CAMPUS) It's modern and small enough to walk through between classes. I just dislike that it's on a hill. I hated walking up to campus but they do provide a shuttle for lazy people like me. (FOOD) The student store has the usual chips and snacks and they have a dining hall with burritos and stuff. I also remember they would bring outside vendors to provide pizza and popcorn. (FINANCIAL AID) My parents make minimum wage so I basically got everything covered on TOP of pocketing a few thousand dollars every semester. It was great. (: (OVERALL) If you are motivated and put in some effort you'll do great here. The students aren't of the highest caliber (no offense) so it will be easy to standout and transfer to a great university. If you want a challenge you can try PCC but good luck competing with a bunch of Asian try-hards. Despite this Rio Hondo got me where I am now and I am forever grateful to this place.

Good luck getting your financial aid on time...or at all. Their financial aid office is atrocious and has actively worked against me every semester. I get its a pandemic but I emailed them last month and again this month because of some 2018 tax verification which has resulted in me receiving zero aid so far for the Fall 2020semester with zero answers from their financial office and the semester is already half way over. Every semester their financial aid office has forced weird, arbitrary requirements on my disbursements with stuff like verification of my high school diploma one semester, and them my income for another, and then for another semester a signature I "needed" for my previous diploma verification and then one semester there was a "glitch" which resulted in over a month delay for a disbursement that seemed to only affect me (I was told it was a glitch that didn't effect everyone), and now they want proof I didn't file 2018 taxes, at this point I feel personally targeted because in the two+ years I've attended Rio Hondo College I've ALWAYS had some kind of delay, or "glitch", or roadblock to my financial aid disbursements. Now we're in a pandemic, I don't have ANY income right now, I was relying on those disbursements and now I'm practically drowning trying to stay afloat due to the incompetence of their financial aid office. They really can't take 2 minutes to reply to my email (that I sent on the 22nd of September and again last week) and let me know if I'm gonna starve till December (when the next disbursement is assuming I miss the October one since I have yet to hear ANYTHING.) It just sucks that this is how they treat their hardest working students, I've been dean's list the last 3 semesters with above a 3.5 gpa and its like their financial aid office is trying to disenfranchise me from receiving an education at their school. At this point it may be time for me to consider transferring to a different community college.

I spent 2 years in this college and I love every professors. They all care for their students, professional and helpful as well. The only part I don't like in this school is they take really long to file a document for student, also the system for register new classes for new semester. You have to do it manually like you have to prepare a paper that note down all the information such as time because there will be time conflict in classes you chose I hope there will be more interesting clubs to help develop the communication in school between students and students or actually help for their own major in school. THE PLUS in this school is that you get FREE ingredients for your homecook. This is very nice and kind of the staff for thinking of people struggle with their finance
