Shasta College is a great college for high school graduates to start out at. Shasta College has a very simple website for anyone who is not extremely tech savvy it is okay! The things needed on the website are all clearly labeled and visible. The campus is also very easy to navigate! The whole campus is basically one big circle. The buildings are numbered according to the circle which makes it easy to find the building you are looking for. The staff is very friendly and are helpful. Shasta college also has a wide range of classes that helps students begin in the field of study they choose.
Review Shasta College
My experience with a majority of my professors has been great, at least with those teachers that make an effort to make learning more enjoyable, unlike the teachers that are very monotone and make the experience of being in class very dreadful. The courses that are hands on and those that involve being in a classroom, are very well put together as well as structured, everything taught revolves around the courses main purpose as to what one is intended to walk away with having learned. Even from the teachers that are very boring and such, one still leaves having learned some sort of valuable credible information. Many classes that I have participated in have been relatively of normal size, at least 15-20 students, other classes just from having heard from peers can often range from 4 students to 80 in a class.
Many students that i have met, mainly males have only come to Shasta to play sports, most are dedicated to football, they take the bare minimum of classes and often don't even attend those classes. There are many other students who are fully dedicated in their career paths and strive to take as many units as possible to help them in their field of study, but also work, showing commitment and responsibility. There haven't been many employers who come to recruit here at the college, it has mainly been military personal such as the Marines, and Navy. The schools career center is very well ran, in the sense that it really helps students obtain jobs on campus, students work in the cafeteria or in the school's own restaurant or even as part of the schools on campus security program.
