Student Success Story

JONATHAN RAMIREZ

Studio Arts

At Compton College, Ramirez (Class of 2022) found a supportive campus staffed with people who wanted to see him succeed. He liked the free meal-per-day program on campus and the other resources offered to students, while smaller classes enabled him to interact with classmates and access personal attention from professors. “Compton College is a great starting place for someone who has been out of school for a few years. The classes in a welcoming environment made the transition into college easier. I tell all my family and friends – especially those with younger kids – that Compton College is a great place to start."
