A community college beside the hill in San Jose, CA. Has a very relaxing atmosphere and the parking isn't so bad.
A large percentage of the student population are asians and mexicans. For science classes which are 98% asian students, it is recommended to go to San Jose City College since the professors are easier.
For liberal arts classes, you'll be with people of all ethnicities. Most of these classes are ridiculously easy, that you wouldn't really learn and still get an A.

In a column that appeared in the _Columbus_ (Ohio) _Citizen_ (Nov. 26, 1927) and was quoted in _American Speech_ (Apr. 1930), Billy Evans wrote that "I gave it the old college try" is a term "often used in big league baseball, when some player keeps on going after a fly ball, usually in foul territory, with the odds about ten to one he would never reach it. Teammates of such a player often beat him to it by shouting in unison with the thought of humor uppermost: 'Well, kid, you certainly gave it the old college try,' as he falls short of making the catch. When some player does something that a professional player might not ordinarily attempt, such as colliding with a fielder who had the ball ready to touch him out, in the hope that he might make him drop the ball, regardless of the danger he was courting, someone is sure to say, often ironically, if the speaker happens to be one of the players in the field: 'That's the old college spirit.'"

Get the Community College Syndromemug. A liberal arts college in Bridgewater, MA that is regionally known as a "teachers college" but, in fact, offers comprehensive curricula in many departments.
BSC has a large commuter population which detracts from an academic atmosphere despite that many of the faculty and staff are highly qualified. A majority of unenthused students fail to take advantage of the plethora of activities and opportunities offered by the college. The remaining minority go on to do fantastic things with their lives while freed of the immense debt incurred by ivy league and private school students.
Many BSC students drink their lives away. The institution, however, offers much more than that.
