Going back to try again. Terrible terrible service. One person leads you to another, they never know the answers they should KNOW. I was told to go to one building, then the lady sent me to another building, with AN ATTITUDE. “Well I don’t know what I can do for you. Just go to a building called *****.” No dicrections no HELP! Just, “it’s outside.” She didn’t even give proper eye contact. Looking down writing something the entire time! Almost made me pop off.. Then I finally get to the office, no one is there! Out of the lazy wood works some lady says, “what do you need?” Like, I don’t, “NEED,” nothing. But I CAN use some help. Idiotic service. Finally she sends me to ANOTHER office, which was right in front of us. We go there and the lady says, “you need to sign up online.” Cool. All their attitudes and laziness for NOTHING! All you do is sit and stare at a computer screen all day. Such “hard,” work. Get over yourselves.
Has allot of class choices to pick from has great food joints around and allot to do if your class hasn't started the Art teacher is amazing here plus it's The Colton college and the Pro Swapmet is right in front of the school what more can you ask for.
My experience with the counseling staff has been mediocre to unhelpful. When I've called at 8am to make an appointment, I let it ring 10 min before hanging up because no one bothered to answer. When I finally got to speak to someone and make an appointment, I learned upon arrival that they book multiple students with 1 counselor for the exact same time. I've been waiting over an hour for my appointment. Better student care can be found at Crafton Hills, Norcco, and Chaffey. I used to like this school, but it has really gone down-hill.
Very challenging, however, able to to complete 95% of classes, with additional assistance from various programs
Its very affordable. Most teachers there truly care about your succes. Its nit a huge camous so classes are not too far apart. They have an extensive list of really good programs they offer there. Semester are a little linger than a university so you have mire time to study.
Love this campus! So much good stuff goin on! I'm on the 10 year program 😂 Lots of art stuff here which I love ❤️
Area around the campus isn't fantastic, but the campus itself is gorgeous and I've enjoyed all of my classes in my 4 semesters there. Some of them are actually too easy. Lots of summer and online calsses and other resources to help you succeed. My biggest complaint though, like others have mentioned, is that the counseling department is pretty unreliable. They've given me good/correct advice maybe 50% of the time. Do your own research before going to see them and even get a second opinion from another counselor. If I had listened to one of the counselors there I would've ended up staying a whole extra year. Also parking can be a bear, but on the plus they never enforce their parking permits.
Great school. Unlike RCC, it's easy to find parking and get classes. However the kids in the cafeteria are extremely annoying
The professors are great but all services are awful. No one in the admissions, counseling, or records offices answer phone calls, and meetings are full of attitude and false information. Absolute disgrace.
I used to make fun of people going to this school but in reality, it's not a bad campus. There are some very awesome professors here that obviously are passionate about their subjects and do well to see you understand the material. Then there are some that you can tell are just here for the paycheck. They are doing better to see that there are classes available to fit your schedule, so even if you are a full-time working adult, you can get the classes your need with minimal sacrifice to your everyday life.
I do advise that you do deep research on every professor you take. Some have a record for being unacceptably rude to students and treat grown people like they're teenagers. Not all of them are like this but the number is growing as seasoned professors are retiring. Just a heads up.
If you're looking to get a quick associates, this is the place. They have a number of programs here and plenty of transfer opportunities to get a bachelor's degree. There are some programs here that you can't find anywhere else. Take advantage.
I am of the opinion that college is really a scam unless you are going into the med, law, or computer fields you are wasting your time and would be better served learning actual skills at a vocational school and not reading outdated information in books that anyone can do on their own time. Besides, SBVC is not a prestigious school in any shape or form and has a grad rate of 17%. The lowest ranking 2 year college in the Inland Empire, it is bottom of the barrel. Just imagine telling an employer---"Hey, I got an associate degree at SBVC." Though, that is if you obtain one. Also, what incentive do any of the staff have to better prepare their students for the real world when they are guaranteed a paycheck.
