I went here my first semester of my freshman year of college in the aviation program. I was treated unfairly by one of the professors. There are better schools that cost less. They pitch you a "community" and "family", but that's not how it is unless your in some type of sport. They act all nice when they give you a tour of the school but I overheard some people who gave the tour talking to each other saying how they can't wait for the tours to be over because the people are annoying. Save your money and go elsewhere.

The support of the teams are a school-wide event. Everyone loves to go to Basketball, Volleyball, and Baseball games!
Right now I give SDCC a 10/10. It is an amazing environment, great people, and great classes. The cafeteria is amazing fresh good healthy food at your fingertips. The environment is so great because you get to learn about Jesus while getting a degree.
