Well, I’m biased. I teach as a full time faculty here. What is Community College supposed to be? The truth is, as I see it, a place to provide opportunities for whatever else in life you might want to pursue. As such, I am pleased to help students who are fascinated by my chosen passion: astronomy. Seems pretty far-fetched doesn’t it? Is astronomy something that can be open to literally anyone? (Far from being elitist or exclusive, community college accepts the top 100% of potential students.) I maintain that the answer is, “Yes.” Astronomy is for everyone. But not just astronomy. Every single pathway can have a start at LaGuardia. And it can be the beginning of a leg up, a changed direction, or whatever amazing pursuit is next. Join us and try out your own potential. I bet you will be happy you did.

I love this community college because of its diversity. The students that go there are always willing to assist others. The workers also are very helpful too. Yersteday l could not find my way out. I asked a young female student for help. She escorted me right in front of the existing door. That was very nice of her. In all l love this school for its diversity.

Today I Came in for my brothers graduation ceremony and they didn’t let us in the auditorium because of the stroller. Keep in mind my baby was sleeping this employer was not professional she was in fact very rude and did not explain why nor communicate with her peers because they had told us we were allowed to bring the stroller in. Just to wait in line to the very end for her to be so unprofessional and told us we weren’t allowed to go in and did not even apologize.

Attended my sister's dance recital at this location. Nice big college. Staff was pleasant. The auditorium was a decent size.

Good. My only complaint is the outdated computers. Great professors, some bad apples, but that's life.
