For the past five years attending this college I have seen the constant continued decline of this once good community college. Mind you, this college has never been excellent, but it was cool to attend at one point so just understand that this review holds some weight. At the start of my path here, the school was filled with students in nearly every class and LBCC was vibrant with many students walking, socializing and having a smile on their face. But those days are gone now. The parking lot near Vets stadium isn't even halfway filled now (used to be filled to the brim), half of the class rooms are empty even during the afternoon which is the most busy time. The libraries and computer rooms are a ghost town. While true in the sense that this school was never considered a party school, or a school where people hang out; My point is that there used to be a lot of people you can meet and connect with. If you care about that, just know that this isn't the college for you and that it is no longer that way here anymore. Secondly, if you have an ounce of integrity of the time and work you are willing to spend and genuinely believe in hard work, please understand that this isn't the school that will challenge you to those principles. If you are earning an A and another student is earning a C, your professor will resort to changing that C student's grade to B by curving the grade, giving a load of extra credit, getting rid of hard problems on a test, extending HW due date, rounding grade etc. My point is, if you value honesty, respect hard work, and more importantly seek challenge in improving your scholarly skills such as literacy, critical thinking or whatever class you are taking, just understand that you will not get that here. Kiss meritocracy good bye, grade inflation is here to stay. So ask yourself, what meaning is there to attending this college if it's like this? Lastly, let me remind you that this is a government school. I know what you're thinking. We don't usually view it that way because it doesn't seem fitting for a college but you know and I know that this is what colleges have become so don't blame me that I have to go here but first let me explain. Firstly, I have seen the increasingly encroaching shift of the left leaning politics getting more extreme by the year. It has always leaned left here mind you, but there comes a time when it violates what you're willing to bare. Before 2020 we knew that the classes were quasi propaganda especially for classes such as political science, history and english with skewed and biased perspectives being taught by the professors but it wasn't until 2020 where it became clear that this school just does the bidding of what the dominant left in government, big pharma & tech wants. And why is it that this school is so concerned about that alphabet community? This community thingy is being pushed full blown on almost every newsletter and it's annoying, it's on the front page of the website like every other month at the very least, and that flag has to be hoisted up that pole every particular month to represent who? A small fringe minority? So do we also put up a flag representing all the fortnite players who attend LBCC? What about the students who are Lakers fans? We don't put those flags because it doesn't represent the students of LBCC as a whole so neither should THAT flag. All in all, the progressive left leadership here in LBCC has been consuming itself into a black hole of lies, manipulation, and political correctness. Unfortunately, this will be the demise of this school as a whole. It will be apparent that the majority will not want nothing to do with this school and the sad thing is the faculty and professors here are too tied down to their pensions, and high salary to say what is right. This is where LBCC is going sadly but young people are now finding better ways to educate themselves online through platforms like Peterson academy and Udemy and start off on a good path, not a time wasting, overly politicized, debt inducing path!

So, I worked here for a few years and saw grafting and corruption around me. I reported it. I was persecuted, false charges were levied against me and I was "let go" for it. I hired a lawyer and got a settlement from LBCC. That's state tax payer money that paid for my settlement, which I used to buy property (thank you LBCC). Several VP's (ones that were involved with my situation) seemed to also be "let go" within about 6 months after that. Ironically, the people doing the actual grafting, and/or defending it, still work at this D-rated college. Keep this in mind if you think you'd like to study or work here.

Horrible professors that do know what they are doing and don't care about students. My car was scratched badly by someone and the campus police didn't care. Literally no security or police doing their job but they are quick to issue citations. Counselors also don't know what they are doing and misguided you towards you educational plan. I will not spend my time and money here anymore. Horrible institution!!!

Resulting a graduate who does not have any tolerance of name pronouncing and is snobby... just graduated from a secondary, a community college. Can the people who fired the counselor always pronounce names correctly and can you guys pronounce my name correctly?

Dr. Moore is an awesome professor & I’m disappointed that this administration can’t stand behind an educator that inspired my daughter. If you’re a woman of color working here then don’t count on them caring about your years of service. She needs to be reinstated immediately!

The student health services is horrible. The black receptionist always has attitude and acts like she does not want to help at all! She's blk but hates helping blk ppl. She tries to make you feel low! You can't avoid her because she's always there! Blk and she wears glasses. Smh this lac lbcc is too phony for me. Pcc is better

Long Beach City College was the best ever when I was there. Counselors, ASL interpreters, and staff are so friendly to the students.

Great time at the long beach performance swap meet & car show🙂 it's a smaller show and swap meet but the entry fee is reasonable and it won't take up all your day, unless you want to hang out in the sun all day long lol 😂

Went to Veterans Stadium motorcycle swap meet lots of vendors lots of motorcycle parts for all makes and models swap meet at the end of each month on Sunday you ever have a chance are you need something for a bike or you would like to build a b definitely you would find it here. One reason why I went to pick up a ticket for born free Saturday the grass they're all sold out. But I will be there June 25th Saturday from 10 to 5 hope to see you there. Jd out

Great swap meet every 3rd Sunday of month

Love this School ❤️💙😍!

Just came here for a Covid test. Drive through only and there were a lot of cars in line waiting. Once opened...9:30, it was a well oiled machine. I just had a "rapid test" so i was in and out in 40 minutes. All the workers were kind and patient and answered any question I had. Very organized.

It's clean . All of the staff are respectful and accommodating. Pcc campus and lac campus are great. Good programs .

The only time I was motivated and did well in school was at City during my transfer years. Wish I didn't go to university after all

Very friendly, helpful, and very diverse Love going to school here

As an older student, I felt pretty out of place here, and my social awkwardness did have some setbacks where it shouldn’t have. On the other hand, if you actually are trying here, you will be treated right by admin, especially as a dss student. Honestly, after going to another cc where the academia dark side kicked in, I appreciated Lbcc even more. Keep an eye on this school. They have major setbacks from the local public school system, but what they do as a school, should they get past that, will set them leaps and bounds over all other local cc campuses. Oh, and maybe start a forensics team, to be competitive.
