Soak Up the Sun at Fresno City College

Soak Up the Sun at Fresno City College

Jan 11, 2018

Hiking in the California Sierra Nevada range

 

Located in the sunny state of California is Fresno City College – one of nation’s top community colleges with a very diverse study body. In fact, its international students represent more than 45 countries from all continents. Here’s a closer look at Fresno City College.

 

McWay Falls at Big Sur Sate Park

 

Get to know the area: Fresno City College is located in Fresno, California, just a short drive to the beautiful California coast. There, you can try surfing, kayaking and other exciting water sports, lay in the sun or explore the area. The city of Fresno also has many exciting attractions, including parks, zoos, museums and more!

 

Fresno City College Auditorium

 

On campus, students can experience art galleries, museums and more throughout the year, as well as special events and festivals. For example, the Anthropology Museum is popular to see artifacts and learn about the culture of the native peoples of California, Mesoamerica, South America and Africa. So, whether you’re planning a trip outside of the city or looking for something local, there’s always something fun to do in the area.

 

International students at Fresno City College

 

Join a club: Joining student organizations and clubs is a great way to get involved outside of the classroom. Fresno City College offers 40 clubs for students to choose from, allowing them to participate in their favorite subjects and explore new programs of interest. If you’re interested in a topic that is not yet recognized as an official club, the college encourages you to start your own student organization.

 

FCC Rams football team

 

Cheer on the Rams: Students can also cheer on the Fresno City College’s athletic teams, known as the Rams, throughout the year. The Rams compete in several sports, including soccer, basketball, baseball and American football. Many of these programs have been very successful over the years, including both men’s and women’s soccer, which won championships in 2017.

 

Chemistry class at Fresno City College

 

Earning your degree: The most important part of studying abroad in the United States will be the education you receive. At Fresno City College, students can choose from more than 200 majors of study to earn their associates degree, including computer sciences, social sciences and business administration. The college also offers English language courses for students to improve English skills in the process of earning a degree or preparing to transfer to a university.

 

Downtown Fresno

 

Moving In: Fresno City College does not offer on-campus housing, so all students live off campus. When searching for a place to live, many students rely on ApartmentSearch.com. The website allows students to search for an apartment based on distance from campus, while also showing the cost of living, local restaurants, the length of your commute and more. If your apartment is unfurnished, furniture rental is an economical and convenient way to furnish your home. CORT, the leading provider of furniture rental in the U.S., furnishes thousands of student apartments with everything from beds and sofas to housewares and electronics – all with affordable rental package options.

 

If you are looking for a school full of diversity that constantly experiences beautiful, sunny weather, take a closer look at Fresno City College. By exploring their website, you can learn more about the specific courses and programs they offer, as well as other details you’ll need to decide on your future education.
