Small Colleges in Northern California

High school students who graduate and are ready to take the next step to education are sometimes not ready to try to blend in at big colleges. Going from a campus with a few hundred students to one that has 20,000 can be a daunting proposition. Adults who want to attend college at night while they work during the day can also find large colleges tougher to navigate. Small colleges can offer the solution to both graduating high school seniors and to adults. Northern California has a wide variety of small colleges that cater to the needs of all types of students.
