'Affordability was a big 'why' for choosing Saddleback but also the smaller class sizes. I was able to connect with fellow students and build a personal connection with my child development professors. Having one-on-one time with them allowed me to learn more about their child development backgrounds and their guidance helped me choose SDSU as my transfer school.'
★★★★★
