  1. Simpson University

    • 4 Year
    • Redding, CA
    • 375

    Sophomore: So far, my experience at Simpson University has been great. I have grown in my relationship with God and people more. I discovered my strengths and I am growing in my weaknesses. I love that class sizes are small because it creates a environment where significant relationships are built between faculty and students. Most professors are really passionate about doing their job well. Community is key at Simpson.

  2. Shasta College

    • 4 Year
    • Redding, CA
    • 605

    Junior: I graduated from Shasta College quite a few years ago and I loved it then and I still love it now. They have expanded their classes now to also include some 4 year degrees. That is how accommodating they truly are. The office staff is super friendly and the instructors really work with you. The campus is very laid back and the food available on campus is great. Whether you want more upscale or casual fare. They have it all. What I love most that they have changed over the years is how they have added online learning. This has made it easier for me as an adult working student to be able to do my studies on my own time. I will be earning another degree/certificate without having to set foot on campus unless I want or need to. Talk about convenience! I recommend going here if you have a chance.

    San Francisco Conservatory of Music

    • 4 Year
    • San Francisco, CA
    • 73

    Graduate Student: SFCM has undergone some amazing transformations in faculty, facilities, and access to local arts institutions which is quickly establishing this conservatory as one of the top student destinations in the country. SFCM is located in one of the greatest cities in the world, gives students access to the world-renowned San Francisco Symphony, as well as the SF Opera, SF Ballet, and SF Jazz. I love the community found within the walls of the Conservatory. The students are very friendly and supportive and the administration really cares about its students. In addition to performing, there are tons of opportunities to teach or gain arts administration experience. With the expansion of the Bowes Center adding practice rooms and performance spaces beginning fall 2020, SFCM is giving its students and unparalleled experience.
