I have recently transferred from Shasta College to a University in Florida. I liked one of my English professors, my Japanese instructor and my astronomy professor, but the rest were either mediocre, didn't seem to care about the class, or took themselves way too seriously, which resulted in a miserable semester. This could have also been result of them not being trained well to maintain online classes during the pandemic. The class selection is also very minimal, which is perhaps fairly normal for a community college. But there was no department that stood out as good. They were all mediocre at best. As someone who is looking for a career in astrophysics and theoretical physics, it
certainly wasn't a place for me. But maybe for someone wanting an introduction to something like business, math, or literature, just to see what the classes are like. Most of my credits transferred with me, so that is a positive I suppose.

My experience at Shasta College has been the best that I ever could have asked for. All the professors I've had are really focused on student success and adaptable and open to working with you. The campus is clean, beautiful, and has extensions in three different counties (Trinity, Tehama, Butte) that allow for closer access to students living further away. The staff, tutors and SI leaders, are energetic, motivational, and inspirational. The student offerings for these opportunities are free, easily accessible, and have helped me personally maintain a high GPA. When the COVID shutdowns started, the administrations was great at navigating the situation, working to keep everyone as safe as possible and communicate with the students during the transition to full online. They opened up online tutoring and drop-ins, and greatly expanded their web presence to help students succeed. This would be my first recommendation to high school graduates, returning students, or transfer students.
My online experience has been wonderful! all the classes I have taken online I have earned high grades in. I'm disciplined in organizing my schedule for work to fit my courses I have taken here. However, online is not as easy as something you do need to plan and take time out of your day to get what you need accomplished I have run into many friends who struggle with online classes because they don't hold themselves accountable for the work they need to get done. Therefore, I advise people who are looking or going to take Shasta College online courses to set time aside and life to make time for your homework and studying for finals. It will help you organize in class and help keep you functional in life.
