18. Student Comments “I have taken similar language courses at other community colleges and I think the instruction at Coastline is the best one I've encountered. I just wish more people knew about it.” “We have an excellent instructor and a very motivated student group. It is very enjoyable and worthwhile.” “The online environment provided by Coastline has enabled me to graduate at least 6 months earlier than scheduled due to work and home responsibilities. Although it has been a challenge with self discipline, it has benefited me extremely with my diploma that will be received in May. Thank you.”
