I love and loved South Coast College. The best thing about it was its staff. From its court reporting instructors to its paralegal program, everything is taught and intended to provide the student with the best opportunity to leave its halls with knowledge superlative to that of students from anywhere else.
What are your chances of obtaining a position in the legal office as a court reporter, paralegal or legal assistant? That is probably what I should have asked myself prior to obtaining a "less-than-godly" student loan! I graduated mentally prepared - but financially not quite ready to work at the rate at which most legal firms hire those fresh out of school!

The atmosphere was always positive and uplifting. They all help you to try to pass as well as help to keep you motivated when you're not passing. Because I went to South Coast, I've been able to have a very successful career in the few years I've been a reporter, and I have them to thank for everything I've accomplished. So thank you, South Coast, for all that you did and continue to...
