Ventura College Reviews

I've really enjoyed my experience at Ventura College so far. I've had some amazing professors, especially my english, algebra, ceramics, and digital content marketing professors. I've really found a passion for digital content marketing through Professor Nick Norris' social media marketing program. He's been extremely supportive and genuinely wants his students to take the skills they learn and be successful outside of the program. My other favorite program here at Ventura College is the ceramics program. I love the friendly and creative environment that keeps drawing me back for extra time in the studio. Specifically what I love about the ceramics program is the creative freedom of the projects, letting me make the designs as intricate and crazy as I want or make a piece with a simple design. Overall I've really enjoyed my time at Ventura College so far, the environment is friendly and busy but in the very best way.
Ventura College is a beautiful campus with so many opportunities for everyone regardless of their major. They have amazing resources for students on campus besides just school-related issues. One of my favorite things about the college is how seriously they take their students' mental health. The counseling services there are ones that are worth your time and don't cost anything as long as you are a student taking classes. I will say though that one thing I would like to see change is potentially the teachers communicating sooner whether textbooks are needed or not. Sometimes I would rent a textbook that cost a lot of money only to find out I never needed it. The college bookstore website states that certain textbooks are "needed" when the teachers will tell you that they are "not needed". Overall, I hope to see better communication in regard to materials in the future.
Ventura College was a good experience. It offered a lot of interesting classes and on campus activities. The only problem with the activities is that nobody usually new they were happening until too late. The buildings meet the needs of each class and provided useful tools and information to learn from. The teachers are typically forgiving and extremely understanding of people's busy lives. Some teachers are old school and don't use Canvas, so you will have to communicate with other classmates on days that you miss. Overall VC is a great experience for a two year college, fun and manageable.
