Absolutely wonderful school. I had some of the best professors here and the Social Science department is incredible! From what I had, the food was delicious, but if its not your jam, there are plenty of options right down the road. I always felt so welcome and included in the school.

Unclear class fee refund policy. Beware--if you drop a class, even if you do so BEFORE the semester starts, you have up to a 4 month wait until you receive a refund check. This policy is opaquely presented in one place only on the college website where it states "Fees are refunded by check, four to six weeks after the Late Add Period ends."

Registering for classes a nightmare. Webadvisor usually goes down during peak registration. Counselors not properly trained in transferring. Overall a poor experience. Dvc a better option, even Solano wold most likely be a better experience. The drive time would be worth it for either one of those schools.

Heavy material based upper level ONLINE science lectures that are 3.5-4 HOURS LONG! Terrible for students who have distractions at home and MOST students learn better in a classroom environment to be fully engaged and present, Also shortening semesters (more vacation for staff) Staff and professors aren't putting students academic needs first.

Internet is the worse. No cafeteria and no social atmosphere. Why attend this school - close to home. Classes are mostly online so this is really an online college.
Overall 1.6
This school is not very appealing. The food cafe in the library is pretty good. Parking is absolutely ridiculous. Arrive at least 30 minutes before your class if you don't want to walk miles.
