Santa Barbara City College is such an amazing and diverse community college. I loved going to school with people of all ages, race, gender and more. Every single staff member and professor are endlessly helpful. They have great path to success programs and counselors to help every student strive to be their best! They are a 5/5 star rating under any aspect from professors to academics to clubs and it doesn't matter who you are or what you enjoy because everyone and anyone can find their passion and style at Santa Barbara city college!
The best thing about SBCC is the quality of education. Professors are very helpful if you seek it and extremely knowledgeable. They push you more that you would expect from a community college so it is taught at university level standards. I also think that the facilities are pretty awesome with a beautiful stadium that overlooks the ocean and great library and computer lab. Start here, have some fun at the beach across the street, and learn lots!
Santa Barbara City College is ranked #1 community college in the United States! Not only does it have a beautiful view but it has a great amount of classes with most teachers having a high rating on how they manage their classes. Although the school is fenomenal it is full of a lot of international students, this may sometimes result in not getting the class you want or need for that matter. If I could change something it would be that residents have a first pick.
