The only reason I did not rate a 5/5 stars was because the Covid pandemic made it difficult to be hands-on in class learning. The instructors are very helpful and have been doing their very best to make this transition easier for us to manage, but it wasn't without its difficulties. Great school overall, cant wait to graduate!

I am a new student here attending the Surgical Tech program. I am going on my fourth week in attendance here. It is a very great learning environment here. Everyone here is very friendly and helpful. From the front desk, to admissions, to the teaching staff. The students are very warm and welcoming also. There are many programs to chose from here at this college. Ranging from criminal, medical, business, as well as aviation. It's a very tight knit community with lots of helpful resources. I am very glad I am attending this college. I look forward to gaining lots of knowledge and advancing my career in the medical field.

This is my first year attending SJVC, thus far I am extremely happy in the choice I made by attending SJVC. I am apart of the Surgical Technologist Program and I love every thing about it so far. The administration is so helpful, and willing to take time out of their day to help you succeed in whatever you need. I feel very confident in my choice to be apart of SJVC and can not wait until Aug of 2020 for my projected graduation. The ST program is an amazing program, I have learned so much about the field and also it has sparked more interest and love for what I want to do for my future. The intensity and uplifting classroom atmosphere makes it so enjoyable and makes me so excited to be this close to my future.
