Columbia College

The Mother Lode’s Community College is located on 280 acres of forestland in California’s historic Mother Lode, the college campus surrounds a peaceful 4 1/2 acre lake and has been described as one of the state’s most beautiful community colleges. You might see some deer, squirrels, foxes, wild turkeys, or rabbits on your way to class. Efforts are continually made to maintain the grounds in its natural sate. Campus buildings are planned around San Diego Reservoir from which wooded foothills join the rugged majesty of the Sierra Nevada. In keeping with the historic atmosphere of the Mother Lode Region, the design concept of the campus is in the architectural style of early California during the Gold Rush Days.
