    “I love Cypress College! Without the help from all my professors and the lab technicians, I don’t know where I would be. They are always there to walk me through step-by-step or help me troubleshoot where I made a mistake. It is very obvious they want us to succeed. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to attend Cypress.”
