Campus and surroundings

Saddleback College is located in Mission Viejo, Orange County, California. The campus is situated just east of Interstate 5 around the major roads of Avery, Marguerite, and Crown Valley. Located only several miles from the coast, the campus enjoys a mild, mediterranean climate.

Transportation

Most students and professors commute by car. As a result, the college experiences substantial traffic congestion and inadequate parking availability the first few weeks of each semester. An on-campus bus terminal/transfer point for the Orange County Transportation Authority is located on the north end of campus.

Student life

The campus is populated with many student clubs and organizations, however the Associated Student Government is the largest group and it funds over a million dollars in events and activities every year. Other campus groups in the past (and present) have included Model United Nations, the Chicano Latino Studies Student Association, College Democrats, College Republicans, Class Action, Students for a Free Tibet, and the Anime Club.

It is a community college. State colleges have CSU then the college name, but saddleback is listed as a community or junior college. If you want to transfer to a UC, then you would want to go there rather than a Calstate, from experiance I know its hard to transfer to a UC, however going to a CSU for your education isn't bad they are good schools. UCR is good for psychology, and if you want to be a teacher, CSUF has one of the best programs. They help you with what classes to take, and yes your first two years [ or how ever long it takes to get your ge is pretty much the same] If your a senior I know how hard this time could be, look into what you can afford, if you are going to chose a community college OCC is the best, and if you are going to a CSU try fullerton or long beach, since they are great for teaching.

It looks like a nice campus. I taught biology for a semester at Irvine Valley College, which is part of the same district. However, I have to wonder, why do you want to go there from Canada??
