    Excellent experience overall. The people who work here are extremely friendly and helpful every single day. Despite it being a community college, it prides itself on helping it's students succeed at the highest level. The campus is very pretty and quite pleasing to the eye. A very diverse crowd embodies the wonderful, friendly faces of this community college. The sports of the school are not very strong, but every student athlete takes pride in what they do. The professors can vary for each students experience, but I have had professors range from decent to excellent! The biology professors transfer their confidence and passion onto their students which creates a better overall learning environment. Great community college experience. I highly recommend it.

    Sacramento City College is a nice campus! Professors care about your education and the knowledge you take away from the class. The library is open to whoever wants to study and there are a lot of extracurricular activities to get into such as tutoring, sports, food distribution, etc. The student store provides almost all the books and supplies needed for your classes. Overall this college is a great place to pursue your education, whether you're just looking to get your associates degree or to transfer.
    I enjoyed the layout of Sacramento City College's campus. It made it easy to quickly navigate the buildings and find where I needed to go. The professors I've met are all very passionate about their careers and genuinely care about students thriving. Even if you're not taking that professors class, it is likely that they will still help you if you reach out to them. I didn't like some of the budget choices that they made during my time there. They cut many film programs due to budgeting, and would even attempt to combine courses that are offered, which interrupts the curriculum. There were also a lot of safety concerns on campus, including a lockdown due to a nearby shooting as well as swastikas and racist hate messages written on bathroom walls.
