At the tutor lab you can raise your hand for 5 or 10 minutes until somebody sees you and if your shout out that you need help they'll get mad at you; I've been banned from coming to the tutor lab simply by using my high voice. The director of TASC Daniel Aucutt immediately band me without even hearing there or my story; it was so intense when I came to the tutor lab to even try to get help they literally escorted me out with two armed security guards holding my arms.

California higher education has gone to hell in a hand-basket. Once upon a time tuition fees at California junior colleges was capped at $50 per semester. Caps were long ago removed and it is crazy expensive to attend junior college now. In addition, California uses mandatory and assigned textbooks meaning you do not get to select your own reading materials and you will be an arm and a leg for your textbooks since this system basically grants the publishers a monopoly and the right to charge you whatever they want. California uses the 'general education' system, which is basically a way to charge you for 2 to 3 years worth of class tuition for a bunch of units/credits that have absolutely or nearly nothing to do with your major. Leaving you only two years of upper division at a university dedicated to your actual major subject. For example, if you wanted to be an engineer you will need to take psychology, humanities, arts, physical education and a bunch of useless classes which are very expensive and do not go very far in educating you in your chosen career path. The 'Liberal to Conservative' teacher ratio is way out of whack. So if you chose to be educated in California, that education, if you can call it that, will be heavily biased and almost entirely liberal with no conservative points of view provided. Therefore, you will not be taught to think. You will be taught to regurgitate or to mimic. ie you will be trained not taught to think. If you want to be a thinker look elsewhere than California for higher education (and/or lower education).

They have horrible service. No one ever knows what they are talking about and it is extremely hard to get in contact with them. They are also very unorganized.
