I see St. Philip's as a great school for anyone looking for a glimpse of the college experience. Not only are there prerequisite courses, but there are also a wide variety of vocational courses available. As far as education, this is mostly a transition school. It mixes teaching elements from High schools(Small class sizes, making up assignments) with those of a university(Mostly self taught, you come and go as you please). Also, there is a great staff of campus advisors who are there to help if there is anything you might need. In addition to learning, there is a plethora of activities one could get involved in, giving students a chance to explore their interests. Also, with this being a college, professors, as well as advisors seek to help students network with those who could take them to the next level. I'm a current student on campus, and I love the experience I've had
Review St. Philip's College
The St. Phillips College Campus is one of the four Alamo Colleges in San Antonio. This Campus is in my opinion one of the best to attend. Its well kept, relaxing and peaceful grounds are a major selling point, the administrative staff and teaching faculty are some of the nicest and most helpful people you will meet in your college life. The teaching faculty are very helpful Kind and sincere to their students and quick to answer any questions you may have about the material they are teaching. St. Phillips offers several courses you will not be able to to find at other Alamo colleges locations. These include Automotive, AC&Heating, and LVN Courses. They are also well renowned for the Culinary Arts Program and offer samplings of their creations at the local school resturaunt.
For a community college, this was the best 2 year institution I have gone to. The campus is easily accessible for all kinds of programs that can help move a student ahead with their dreams. From chef programs to business degrees to scientific experiences, this school has a lot of options to study for an associates or certifications. Their transfer program is fantastic for helping someone get on track to transfer to a four year institution by giving a full plan to help obtain a bachelors degree. Faculty members are great to work with since they understand what it is is like to have children, a busy job, or military. Their veteran and active duty programs (from what I heard) are great to work with for helping our service members get a great education. This campus is also big with medical certifications and interactive experiences for anyone who wants to work in that field. When the events come around, they go all out with fun events.
