Student Comments • “I’m in the military and I have been out of school for about twelve years. The help I received really made me feel comfortable about going back to school. They talked me through each step and always said that if I had any more questions to feel free to call back at any time. Thank you again.” • “I have attended 12 Community colleges throughout California for both general education requirements and vocational requirements and the staff at Coastline is by far the most willing to help students with their educational goals. I have completed my AA and will complete my BA in June. Thank you to all at Coastline that helped me on my journey.”
Student Comments • “I would like to thank you for helping me better understand Coastline’s educational programs. I will be looking forward to starting my first class soon. It sounds as if your commitment (Our Goal is Your Success!) to the student is genuine. I would also like to thank Coastline College for providing a professional counselor to deal with the military student.” • “I am especially satisfied with the EOPS program. Without the helping of EOPS, I will not be able to complete my degree at Coastline in the short time.” • “My decision to attend Coastline Community college was solidified through my counseling session with (counselor). I was very happy and grateful for her assistance. She was thorough, patient, and encouraging.”
