<p>Anyone in the region know much about either of these schools? I know they're in the same district, but does one have more rigorous courses/better honors program than the other? Is one more aesthetically pleasing? Does one have a better top 50 school admit rate?</p>
<p>Foothill's better from what I've heard. I don't know a LOT about it, but the one guy who I know who went there, briefly, liked it pretty well....</p>
<p>De Anza's math and science courses are usually more rigorous. From my experiences, math, physics, and engineering courses at Foothill are usually easier than at De Anza (De Anza has more difficult professors).</p>
<p>De Anza has more students hanging out on campus than at Foothill, even though they're both commuter schools.</p>
<p>de anza is way more lively then foothill. foothill's just absolutely ridiculously depressing. but I do take my math and science at foothill, EE_stu is right on the money there. and de anza has a better admit rate to the UC's, while foothill generally has more success with privates. in terms of transfer students to stanford, foothill is usually the number one CC. foothill also has a way more developed honors program then de anza, and classes are MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to get and keep at foothill then they are at de anza, because there are just so many freakin' kids who go there, spots get filled up like a monster on crack.oh, also, facilities at de anza are infinitely better then those at foothill-next year, de anza will have wireless. im a student at de anza-i found a lot more friends at de anza then i did at foothill, probably because foothill is just such a mellow campus. anyway, to each his own.</p>
<p>I had the same trouble deciding between foothill and de anza. </p>
<p>when considering your CC, you should also look at which schools your CC has (transfer agreements), if you're planning to transfer. De anza currently has transfer agreements with Santa Clara University, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, UC Riverside, UC san diego, and a couple CSUs. Like Zemookmook said, De anza is way more social and lively. Foothill is rather isolated in the hills and has that nature feel. Yes, with way more kids its going to be hard to get into classes, but that wasn't a problem for me because my family is low-icome so i had EOPS which gave me priority registeration. If you join an honors program you would be given the same priority.</p>
<p>Although, Irvine is where i want to transfer to and De Anza currently does not offer any TAA or honors programs to increase my chances of getting in, Whereas foothill offer this honors program for UCI, i still end up chosing De Anza because after all its number 1 for transfer admits. </p>
<p>However,if you're easily distracted, i would recomend Foothill because the social life is more dull compared to De anza. </p>
<p>And a major plus is De anza is getting wireless ineternet throughout the shcool sometime next year! so bring your laptops and bam !</p>
<p>does deanza have an honors program?</p>
<p>i say go to foothill if only for the honors institute.</p>
<p>yeah almost all cc have honors programs its just foothill has a more developed one.</p>
<p>I was reading on the websites and looked at the honors courses and it seems like De Anza offers more honors Core and Cohort classes each quarter, but I guess the ratio of students to available classes is fairly similar. </p>
<p>I actually hadn't considered how lively one school would be over another, but I'm moving from out of state so I think I would actually prefer De Anza primarily because it might be easier to befriend people. </p>
<p>I'm actually thinking about applying to several private schools and three state schools (UCLA, Berkeley and Mich).</p>
<p>I go to both Foothill and De Anza. This way, I always get into the classes I need. And it doesn't affect my financial aid either since I can use units at both schools to fulfill my full-time status. And you only have to buy parking permit and pay the campus fee at one campus, so you don't incur double fees.</p>
<p>One thing to note though is that most UC recommend that you complete a sequence at only one school. For example, if you began a physics sequence at Foothill, then finish the sequence at Foothill.</p>
<p>hey ee_stu, do you think taking courses at 2 different schools leaves you at a disadvantage when trasnfering to a UCs, since UCs perfer you tp complete your 90 quarter or 60 semester units at one school if possible. Would they look at it as a disadvantage?</p>
<p>i took classes from two different community colleges but they were sister colleges so it didnt matter....I have known students taking classes from different community colleges though</p>
<p>Citan's right. Attending two different cummunity colleges is not a disadvantage at all. I was accepted to all the UCs that I applied too and my major is impacted too. Just remember that UCs prefer that you complete a particular course sequence at one college, regardless of whether or not the course sequence is equivalent at the two sister colleges.</p>
<p>One thing that De Anza and Foothill require though is that you need to complete at least half of your transfer units (or is it GE units only?) at one institution (to be known as the home institution).</p>
<p>ohh thanks that help a lot. ee_stu, which courses//sequences in your opinion are more easier at foothill as oppose to de anza and vice versa? </p>
<p>For example i heard that foothill has easier courses when it comes to science and math?</p>
<p>EDIT: Sorry, I'm deleting this post. </p>
<p>Easiness is subjective. I'm getting a high A in my electric circuit class even though my professor's "ease" rating on ratemyprofessor.com is 2.1. While I'm getting a low A in my 3rd physics course with a professors whose "ease" rating is something like 3.0+. I don't study more or less for either of these two classes.</p>
<p>But most people would agree that physics is definitely easier at Foothill than at De Anza college.</p>
<p>Hi my name is bilawal . im starting my study session at foothill college , i am a foreign student so can someone guide me how many number of units and classes should one take in the first quarter please help thanks </p>
