Don't worry ... I know the college's website.
I am just wondering people think of the college.
Are the classes hard?
Could I find a part-time job easily enough?

I'm taking an online class from Chabot right now. It's ridiculously easy. It seems like as far as transferring goes, the college is really geared toward CSU East Bay.
If you can commute a little, there are moderately better JC's in the area, like Ohlone and De Anza.
