Review of Solano Community College

from Vallejo, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I am currently a nursing major at Solano, though I am not applying to their nursing program, and their science department is fantastic! I have learned so much through the materials provided by the school, studious classmates with the same determination as me, and a faculty dedicated to giving you the tools necessary to prepare you for future education opportunities. Along with this, there are many other resources available to students, such as study rooms, math tutoring lab, access to databases, etc.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Overall, the campus is pretty clean and is continually kept in check the maintenance crew. There is a newly remodeled dining area, adjacent to the cafeteria, for students to enjoy their lunches. The school also recently refurbished our gym, so that is nice and new as well. Our admissions building is the only two-story building on the campus and it provides students with a singular hot-spot to meet all of their needs in regards to paperwork issues. The campus is nicely organized, with easy access to directions, information, and activities for current and prospective students.

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

The school's tuition, though it has increased since I first started attending, is still pretty low compared to the universities. The low tuition costs helps students establish an academic foundation before transferring to the more expensive four-year schools.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are considering attending Solano, I would suggest taking a course or two just to see how you like it. The degree of goodness for the faculty varies with each department. However, if you are planning to take a lot of science course, the professors are really knowledgeable about the information and really know how to teach students.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Solano Community College is a great school to go to while you're still in high school! I took class at SCC all throughout my high school years and this allowed me to graduate a year early. It helps make the high school-college transition a lot easier.
