Golden West College — Local services in Huntington Beach

I once had a question about prerequisites for a class and the different divisions I asked kept sending me to other divisions until I was right back to where I started. I finally got help after an hour of running around. The school doesn't run smoothly. Another example: if you challenge a prerequisite course (this means you apply to waive a prerequisite for a higher class) in the summer, you get notified whether it's approved or not AFTER your class signup date comes. By that time, the class you're trying to take will be filled. That's another thing about this school, it's hard to pick up classes. It took me three semesters to finally be a full time student with classes I actually needed. I guess that's not entirely the school's fault considering budget cuts but it's still frustrating.

Golden West College swap meet on the weekend is the best local swap meet! The fact that it's in Huntington Beach where it's always cooler is an added Plus to the shopping experience! I always try to be at the swap meet by 7 a. M. so that I can be out and on my way home before it gets too warm. The swap meet is the best place to buy plants!
