Best school ever

SCC is a great to get an AA, go into a transfer program, or just learn more from classes! All super nice, friendly, and helpful workers, and most of the professors are great as well! You can 2 years free too! The only thing is that sometimes you will get conflicting information about little details in things like financial aid, classes needed, etc.

Beautiful campus with lots of people. There is an app for the campus, you can use it to call the officers if in need of help. Lots of classes and good opportunities/events. Overall, it's an amazing school, I recommend attending.

Affordable; excellent academic transfer program; highly skilled and charismatic professors; time and individual attention given to students. Unequaled college prep. I transferred to a CSU from Solano and graduated with highest honors in my field.

Don't go here. Literally go anywhere else except UOP that place sucks too.
Overall 1.2
Solano's Nursing Program is not worth it. Instructors are unhelpful, simulation lab is outdated and if we are not simulating scenarios, we are watching videos. Clinical sites give our class horrible hours and rarely hire from our school. Bullying amongst students is High with little faculty intervention. Student resource staff is a joke

This school is garbage, it has some good teachers but the administration is complete bureaucratic garbage. they cancel summer school a few months in advance leaving everyone scrambling, they have way more than enough money in the budget, the president says its being prudent to avoid future "financial calamities" I really don't see a bigger emergenc

Worst college in California. You WILL NOT graduate on time listening to counselors. In order for you to graduate on time you MUST attend summer school. Don't even think about mainitaing a 4.0 gpa. It is literally near impossible & u won't have time to do anything other than homework 24/7. Teachers are terrible and overall nobody is here for us.
Overall 1.4
School makes it very hard to seek help. Counselors have wait times for appointments as long as 3 or 4 months. Financial aid is confusing. Most professors are stressed out, and inadequate. Needs help desperately.

this campus is not good. the tutors were not great. they have no specialized tutors. So i might transfer soon.
Overall 1.7
The food is expensive and tastes bad. Classes get canceled after they are supposed to start on the first day. But the add code system is nice. If you didn't get into a class just come on the first day and ask the teacher for a code. They accidentally gave my degree to the wrong person at first (in the computer, not at graduation).

Its just not very great
Overall 1.8
Solano is not that great of a community college unless you are focused on transferring to a 4 year with as little classes needed. The only unique program the school has is the Biotech partnership with Genentech, but for all others who are willing to have a longer commute, go to Contra Costa county or even the Los Rios schools in Sacramento.
