This is not my first college and I gotta say I am super impressed I have a couple semesters down at this college and I find the longer I go here the more proud I am. The staff here is amazing 10/10 the resources and events/activities are amazing as well the only bone I have to pick is that they do not have enough professors to teach more classes.

Financial Aid service is super slow or delay. The process of the filing is taking so long. Sometimes they do not send notifications on emails to remind you if you have supplemental documents needed to submit. They want you to come to their office, literally, they do not care if you live 10 miles away from them.

This is one of the worst colleges I've ever encountered because of their rude and condescending advisors and professors, ted cluver especially. Do not take the statistics classes from ted cluver because you will most likely not enjoy them at all. Do yourself a favor and consider other colleges first.

I have reputation with this school except their Financial Aid service. If you are going to file documents with the financial aid, make sure you have your own copy and document your transactions/ interaction with the customer services (have a timeline) because they really process file slow. Always follow up bec they do not send email notif.

I like the facilities of Butte College, the problem with this school is the services. When it comes to complaints, it's really hard to reach the higher authorities especially at Financial Aid personnel. They are really good at ignoring even though they are aware that there is an issue. I do not like to recommend this school.
Overall 1.8
The school is very nice and they committed to maintain the sustainability in the school. HOWEVER, WHEN IT COMES TO SERVICE SUCH AS FINANCIAL AID SERVICE, most of their customer service seems like not educated enough to answer questions regarding required documents needed to file financial aid etc.
