   How it compares

   In the United States, this college sits within a very large higher-education system of 2,515 institutions, so it is not being compared from a small local pool. Its main distinguishing point is that it is a public community college in Orange and one of two campuses in the Rancho Santiago Community College District, which makes it a district-based option rather than a standalone university.
