      As Deborah Meier said, 'Good schools, like good society and good families, celebrate and cherish diversity.' this college is more than just a school it is also a place where you get a chance to meet different people from different background and sometimes those people become your second family. they also enable students from diverse backgrounds to bring their personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences into the classroom. they also offer free bus transportation which in this case helps a lot.

      Tell us about Riverside City College
      In Riverside City College (RCC), the facilities, communication and transport links are really comfortable for students. When I got into the United States, I had to stay in my aunt's house. Although I was really humble and contributed my best part to help her, she forced me to get out of her house. At that time, I did not have any contacts where I should move to get a shelter. So, I asked for help in the International student center in RCC. By the grace of God, they helped me find a place where I got a real family value. Therefore, the societies and social life in RCC are really warm, and they are always ready to help their students within their capacities.
