It is the #1 city college in the nation and they live up to that title! everything is incredibly cheap compared to other city colleges and universities. Campus is directly across the street from the beach and has a beautiful view of the mountains. There is major faculty and student support across campus, free breakfast during midterm and finals week, often giving out free testing supplies and food. 2 years of free college as well (textbooks and school supplies included) if you graduate from a local high school.
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!
My time of Santa Barbara City College was one of the best educational experiences of my life. The professors are passionate and extremely talented in not just their fields but in teaching as well. The campus is small but spacious and with the most breath taking view of the beach and town that is just down the road. The food is absolutely wonderful and there is a plethora of employment opportunities for all students. The administrative staff is incredibly kind, supportive, and highly dedicated to the success and well being of all students. Furthermore, the Transfer Academy and the over all prestigious status of the school as a city college opens students up to a variety of other universities. Santa Barbara City College is a remarkable school that I feel honored to have attended.
