Los Angeles City College, known as LACC, is a public community college in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles, California. A part of the Los Angeles Community College District, it is located on Vermont Avenue south of Santa Monica Boulevard. At $20/unit (California residents), the college offers university transferable courses and career training in technology, health care, the arts and entertainment, child development, nutrition services, administration of justice and more.
The campus is one of the most diverse in the nation, with significant representation from students of all ethnic backgrounds ranging in age from under 16 to over 60.
The Los Angeles City College (LACC) is the flagship of the Los Angeles Community College District, which comprises nine separate college campuses. The LACC campus was originally a farm outside of Los Angeles, owned by Dennis Sullivan. When the Pacific Electric Interurban Railroad connected downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood in 1909, the area began to develop rapidly. In 1914, the LA Board of Education, moved the teacher's Normal School to the site. The Italian Romanesque campus became what is now the University of California, Los Angeles in 1919. In need of more space, UCLA moved to its present location in 1929 and the LA Board of Education bought the site for $700,000. On September 4, 1929, Los Angeles Junior College opened its doors for the first time with over 1,300 students and 54 teachers. It later changed its name to The Los Angeles City College...
After World War II, LACC faced a deluge of students under the G.I. Bill. To try and address the influx, a second, four-year institution was formed on the same campus in 1947, the Los Angeles State College of Applied Arts and Sciences. The attempt proved unwieldy and, in 1955, the four-year school moved east to become California State University at Los Angeles. In 1954, the school began an eight-year construction program that replaced its original, unenforced masonry structures with the current buildings.

I have been looking at three colleges. Southwest city college, Los Angeles city college, and Los Angeles Harbor college. I have been to Southwest and I like the campus and the size. I also have been to LACC and this school is a good size and has a good reputation in academics and well as southwest and harbor. Now harbor college I dont know much about. I did research on all the schools but I have not been able to choose. My question is which school would you recommend? Based on what you know and what I some what provided.

This depends upon whether your plan is to stop with the Associates' degree, or whether you want to transfer to a four-year college after two years. LACC has some good vocational programs, but I wouldn't think of any of these as being among the stronger community colleges in the L.A. area for academics, at least if you are university-bound. For that, I would look at Santa Monica CC, El Camino, or Pasadena CC. If you are interested in vocational programs, the others each have specific programs, and the one you choose would be the one which interests you.

According to the 2006-2007 school year calendar on their website, they started on Tuesday, September 5, 2006 which is the Tuesday after Labor Day. They will probably start in early September or around the same time for the Fall 2007 semester.

School is school...if you can learn what you need to be successful...that is the key. If you expect that it is a guarantee to sucess in film, you are likely mistaken.
