Review of Santiago Canyon College

from Orange County, CA

Did learn a lot

My major was Business and I enjoyed those classes immensely. I only wish I could have had a different Accounting teacher - I found her teaching style dull and hard to pay attention to.

Did enjoy being here

Some of the students were still young, and acted like they didn't want to be there. But once I got into my major classes, those were the people who were really serious. I definitely recommend finding the serious students to study with and work on group projects with. Otherwise you may find yourself with my work than you bargained for.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Although tuition has gone up since my first semester here, it's still a reasonable amount, especially when you consider what other colleges are requiring! Plus financial aid is always an option. The best thing that helped me out was applying for the Board of Governors fee waiver. It basically wiped away what I owed for tuition and I just had to concentrate on the rest.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

-Buy a parking permit. A day permit is cheap at $2 but eventually will be more than the permit itself. And they do have campus security who WILL ticket you if you're parked without one.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Everybody, from those fresh out of high school, people who want to learn something new or get a certificate in a field, people who weren't able to go to college when they were young, etc.
