San Diego Miramar College

**THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR THE TENNIS COURTS; I’M NOT A STUDENT**
I LOVE playing tennis here on the weekends! There are probably 10 tennis courts here which are open to the public. They’ve got all the basic amenities, such as net straps, windscreens, benches, decently maintained courts, & even lights which turn on around 5ish this time of year.
There’s always ample parking here & it’s free. Everyone I’ve encountered has been friendly & polite. Tennis players of all skill levels!
If you get tired of tennis, sometimes there are Dodgeball practices going on on the courts as well. Lol. I’ve even seen people play croquet out on the field as well. The opportunities are endless! Go be a sporty spice!

Favorite community college I’ve been so far.
And I’ve been around the block (swc, mesa and city)
I don’t feel like I’m in high school like in swc, i feel that here at Miramar College people take classes more seriously.
I’m soooo glad.

Love this college! Does anyone commute here from temecula /​Murrieta area and is interested in carpooling ?! If so contact me back!

So this old guy decided to return to school…
I thought I would be surrounded by a bunch of teenage kids to be honest, and that I would feel extremely out of place. Yet Miramar college is the epitome of second chance schools, and does not suffer as much from the parking issues or above teenage overload as say Mesa.
The campus is well laid out, the teachers are great that I have had so far, and it seems they are genuinely trying to help you succeed to the next level. The food court unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired, but that maybe their only knock.
If your an old timer who has considered taking a few more classes, look no further than Miramar!

The campus is nice to look at and spacious, parking doesn’t seem to be a hassle but I’m mostly here to comment on the internet here. The internet connection is pathetic, how does anyone get any work done without having to use one of their computers. You’re better off at a café or at home.

The Counselors here are not so great and they make you feel like you’re bothering them when you need help on your planning through college. Basically makes you feel like you’re not good enough.
Everything else about this community college is great though. The new buildings and layout of the campus. Most of the professors here are great as well. I also love how they have a parking garage which is very helpful with having more parking available!

I love this school! The parking situation isn’t bad because they built that structure a few years ago. They recently renovated and the campus looks beautiful! This is smack dab in the middle of Mira Mesa so it’s near many shopping centers. There is also a freeway nearby.
This is a great school with great faculty! I just hope in the near future that they will add more classes and make it comparable with Mesa and City!

For a community college, this school has come a very long way. After reconstructing the buildings and landscape I fell in love with the campus even more. Once you get involved in extra curricular activities, your letter of recommendations are five star quality. The transfer center is always helpful for those who plan on transferring, the staff is always willing to help you, counselors care for your future and professors care for your education!!! (Dr. Jay, Dr. Gonzalez, Dr. Arancibia, Dr. Lowe, Dr. Lee) I love them all! The cafeteria provides food made with love from Jackie and her crew. Parking isn’t too bad compared to Mesa and City. Great start if you ever plan to transfer to a University or CSU, Dr. Naomi Grisham is the person you want to see.

My favorite community college out of all of them!
Pros:
Spacious parking, the parking structure is never completely filled up, unlike mesa.
The walking distance from your car is not long unlike mesa.
The teachers here are nice and have faith that you can succeed, unlike Mesa.
The bathrooms are always clean.
The math lab is full of tutors ready to help you out if you ever need help.
You can rent out a calculator from the math lab, you just need to leave behind your credit card and ID
you get student discounts for food and drinks at some booth stands.
CONS:
A lot of construction going on, and if your in the chemistry lab rooms, you will hear it!
If you are taking trig take TOLER. For Precalc take GORDON.
Chem 152 take Figueroa. Chem 200 take smith for any english series take steinberg! THESE ARE AMAZING TEACHERS. Just a few of my favs.

This campus has grown since I went here 3 years ago. The efforts can truly be appreciated as the campus continues to build and expand its abilities to not only servicing the community but developing into an advance institution. I can’t wait to see how the future holds, this campus looks like a new expansion of SDSU. Truly becoming a full pledge institution.

I have had classes at all SDCCD campuses (City, ECC, Mesa and Miramar) and I can easily say that Miramar is my favorite!
It’s definitely much smaller than all of the other schools (well besides ECC) which I like. City and Mesa have way too many buildings, too many classes and too much people. I like that I can come here, FIND PARKING, sit comfortably in class. (IN A CHAIR and not on the floor), listen to lecture, do my work and leave.
All the buildings are evenly spread out with huge letters on them indicating what buildings they are. Everything is fairly new so all the classrooms are up to date with air conditioning. There are a bunch of benches and tables to sit at and study while you wait for your next class and not only is the campus always clean, but the bathrooms are too!!! Nice bathrooms with a good number of stalls and sinks and they have both paper towels and hand dryers which I prefer.
This is my first and last semester here since I’m transferring next semester, but I wish I came here from the start. If you’re trying to figure out which campus to attend, definitely choose Miramar! Even if you’re coming from down south. Use the extra 10 to 20 mins you would use looking for parking at Mesa to drive up here!

Miramar college is my favorite! Although it is difficult to get classes you want and need. I love the campus it’s beautiful, easy to get around but, still under construction. The location is perfect for me. This college has some great professors… make sure to check out
. I’m really enjoying my classes! Most of the consolers are helpful although, I have been turned down by one male consoler before he told me to «go to a different college» I don’t listen to people like him. Anyways they have a starbucks but they don’t offer the Venti size cup which is really a bummer… Classes and books are expensive. Good luck.

There was a time in my life where I would have turned my nose up at a community college. Take about a shift in paradigm! Now that I am taking several courses, I’ve learned my lesson. There is not a better value than a good community college if you know what you want to study. This place is conveniently located, has great facilities, and has great staff that actually care about what they are teaching.

Out of all the community colleges here in San Diego, Miramar is my favorite.
PROS:
1. There is ALWAYS parking.
2. The campus is all brand new and beautiful.
3. Lots of chairs, benches, lounging areas around campus.
4. Food center. Small convenience stores. Starbucks.
5. All the administrative/​financial aid offices are conveniently in one building.
6. SAFETY — There is a police academy on campus meaning there are always cops near by and patrolling. Plus its the only one where I havn’t heard of someone being killed or kidnapped. Just saying.
7. Large spacious classrooms.
8. Best technology in some of the newer classrooms. Built in computers in the desks.
9. Easy to find your classrooms.
10. Conveniently close to many shopping centers/​restaurants.
11. Clean modern bathrooms.
CONS:
1. None. There is absolutely nothing I hate about this place.

It’s a good place to go to get occupational training or to eventually transfer to UC or CSU.
They’re growing and improving.
So take heart! This is just a step on your way to achieving your goals.

Drive by this collegemits a pretty decent looking one and am intrigued about a attending college again. I already have my degree but love college experience and feel like there’s always something new to learn. I drove up to the welcome center and was greeted right away.
He explained to me how to register on line and went step by step on the computer there to help. Once I submitted the application there was some error which he quickly fixed for me. Explained to me i will receive an email invite and can register with in 24 hours. Sounds easy enough!
When driving through the campus it looks like a lot of parking spaces. Even towards the back there is an Aviation building. How rad! So excited to attend college again a and hope I can get financial aid.

Miramar is a great school. I’ll admit I only took one class here, which was for my EMT certification. It was a great experience. After two years of UCSD, Miramar was a pleasant surprise. I forgot what it was like to have teachers and staff that cared. My classmates were a lot of fun too. The class prepared me well for becoming an EMT and I’m glad I took it here.
A few years after my class I needed to prepare for the MCAT. There are to many distractions at home, and Miramar has a great library. It’s well lit, clean, air conditioned (unlike my public library) and is fairly new. It is on par with libraries at major universities and it’s only a few minuets away. Instead of taking an expensive course, I was able to rock the MCAT with a few books and many hours of quiet study in the library. Thanks Miramar!

Looking at their MLT Program and this is what i found out… Application LOTTERY… not sure how good this college is with their MLT program but the word «Lottery» sounds unprofessional… we’ll see… why can’t programs like this and also RN programs can’t start a group every term? i like the campus though…

I gave it three stars only because there are some professors here that made my learning experience really memorable. I will name them at the end. But why I don’t like this school is because, they screwed me over. The campus’ council (President, VP, etc.) really made my life miserable. I had one horrible professor that cost me my acceptance to UCSD because they decided to change my grade last minute. (I got a 100% on my final and midterm, but he said that I got a 70% on my final. Checked it, but never changed my grade back.) I appealed for a grade change and after meeting with the board, learned that the professor claimed I wasn’t a good student. I provided evidence that I did all the work to receive an A. But no help from the board. They didn’t care.
As for my awesome professors:
Profe Naters– Spanish. Hands down the most challenging but loving professor. I never thought I’d learn so much from taking Spanish courses. I praise her for all the culture and language I learned.
Professor Jay– English. She’s the best English professor I have ever had. So sweet. So sincere. Great educator.
Professor Bowers– Chemistry. One word, BRILLIANT.
Professor Flower– Biological Sciences. Extremely caring and knows her stuff! Learned so much from her.
Professor Lopez– Philosophy. Made me rattle my brains out with all the thinking I had to do. But extremely good professor.
Professor Reeves– History. He’s so cool! I learned so much! And he makes the class so entertaining, I felt like I was going to a fun learning fellowship rather than class. (Besides the tests and papers… haha!)
The professors I mentioned will always be in my heart. They have taught me so much and I will always be so grateful to have been a part of their classes.
As for the rest of the campus, bluntly said, eff them.

What is there to review here? Community college at it’s finest. Easier to find parking here than at City!
