Student Life
Long Beach City College is populated with many student-run clubs and organizations. The Associated Student Body (ASB),is the largest group on campus, and is the organization that funds most of the events geared toward students at the college. The ASB Student Senate overlooks the independent clubs as well as the men’s and women’s social service clubs that used to be under the now-defunct Associated Men’s Students (AMS) and Associated Women’s Students (AWS). LBCC is also known for having a nationally renowned volunteer service program, as well as the oldest community college intramural athletics program in the nation.
There are campus-run radio and television stations, as well as a campus-run newspaper, named the Viking.
Traditional events include Homecoming Week, the Spring Sing variety show, and Mini Grand Prix, a three-man push-cart race tournament.
Each of the campuses has its own Alpha Gamma Sigma chapter.
The campuses are well known for their high populations of resident domestic rabbits.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“I heard a Californian student in Heidelberg say, in one of his calmest moods, that he would rather decline two drinks than one German adjective.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“I like sometimes to take rank hold on life and spend my day more as the animals do. Perhaps I have owed to this employment and to hunting, when quite young, my closest acquaintance with Nature. They early introduce us to and detain us in scenery with which otherwise, at that age, we should have little acquaintance.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
