College of San Mateo

College of San Mateo (commonly referred to as CSM) is a community college in San Mateo, California. It is part of the San Mateo County Community College District. Established in 1922, CSM serves about 10,000 students each semester. The college offers 99 majors, 67 A.A./A.S. degree majors, 67 certificate programs, and several hundred transfer areas. College of San Mateo is located on a 153 acres (0.62 km) campus in the hills of San Mateo, about 30 minutes south of San Francisco and about the same distance north of San Jose. Two major highways, U.S. Route 101 to the east and Interstate 280 to the west, sandwich CSM. Both intersect with and feed Highway 92, which provides a direct exit to the college at West Hillsdale Boulevard. The campus was designed by internationally recognized architect John Carl Warnecke. Through a capital improvement program, funded by $675 million worth of bonds approved by voters in 2001 and 2005, major new construction, renovation, seismic-retrofitting and improvements to the infrastructure have taken place at CSM. New facilities include the Center, which is home to the county’s police academy.

  • Maria Ly is quite literally a Rock Star. You’ll often find her hanging off a 5.13a grade rock climbing route, she is the rock star co-founder of Skimble (which is incubated by Rock Health), and you can find her rock formation photography featured in Outside Magazine.

  • March 13, 1988 was the day we moved to America. Although it wasn't my first time in the country, that date was the beginning of my journey through the American school system. Those eleven years filled me with a lifetime of great memories.

  • Mayank is an inventor and zebra-enthusiast. He developed Stripespotter, a biological barcode scanner for zebras, and is a part of the team behind Facebook insights. By way of India to Oman to the US, Mayank can be found behind the wheel of a red Porsche dreaming up his next big idea.
