Poll is in: Grossmont best community college in the county

-Staff Report-

SAN DIEGO — In its annual poll of readers, the San Diego Union-Tribune found that Grossmont College is considered the finest community college in San Diego County and the third best institution of higher learning overall. It placed third in the rankings behind UCSD and San Diego State University, but ahead of the University of San Diego, Cal State San Marcos, Cuyamaca College (Grossmont’s sister institution) and Pt. Loma Nazarene University.

No other community college in San Diego County made it to the list of the top seven, published on Wednesday, Oct. 12, by the Union-Tribune’s online affiliate, Sign on San Diego.

Last year, Grossmont College came in first overall, even ahead of UCSD and San Diego State, but this year the larger institutions rallied their supporters to cast their votes by email in the poll.

“I am so proud that Grossmont and  Cuyamaca colleges received top rankings in the San Diego’s Best poll,” said Chancellor Cindy L. Miles of the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District. “Readers of  the Union-Tribune have confirmed what we at the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District have long known: our colleges provide a top-quality education for our students.”

“We were hoping to repeat as the top vote-getter following our selection for the
award in 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2010, but we finished behind this time to
two fine public universities,” said Grossmont College President Sunny Cooke. ”We
are looking forward to next year’s balloting.”
