Having provided educational, vocational and transfer programs to more than 2.5 million students during academic year 2005-2006, The California Community College System is an educational force to be reckoned with. In fact, it constitutes the largest system of higher education in the world. With its 72 districts, 109 campuses, 64 approved educational centers, and 20 separately reported district offices.

Impressed? You should be. But not only are the schools' educational offerings remarkable, the campuses are just as appealing. The system's assets include 58.4 million gross square feet of space housed in 4,629 buildings atop of more than 20,489 acres of land.
