Cañada College is a public community college in Redwood City, California. It is located on 131 acres in the western part of Redwood City. The college offers 80 A.A./A.S. degree programs and 48 certificate programs.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable, accessible community college in the Bay Area — the smaller enrollment of under 5,000 students means a less overwhelming experience than larger institutions. That said, the median earnings of $37,900 a decade after enrollment are modest, especially given the high cost of living in the Redwood City area, so be intentional about using this as a transfer pathway to a four-year school rather than a terminal degree.
