Angela Valencia This college was great for a start. Some professors (not all) just care about a paycheck rather than helping students. Some of us had to self-teach ourselves due to lack of help from professors. It is very difficult to reach out to a counselor or even get an appt. with one if any! The campus itself is amazing and big. Many upgrades and nice spots to just walk, study, or hang out. Parking can be challenging but available if you dont mind walking. Overall, it is a great school and affordable if you qualify for financial help. If we can get appointments with counselors at any time of the day, that would be awesome as some of us work and hardly have mornings or time to see one on their schedule. Please make hours more flexible for those who cannot afford to miss a day of work, thank you.

Fred Garcia I went to this school to take science classes. The campus itself had beautiful vegetation and a beautiful pond. The library was very helpful during midterms & final exams. The success center has hard working passionate staff to help students with tutoring. Theres a nice looking gym I never went inside to but it looks nice from the outside. Their cafeteria food is really good, especially breakfast burrito. Parking is not free but not expensive either. Also really good restaurants around the school.

I. Love Music I attended here from 1991-1998 and earned my first AA. SBVC was a great start to my academic career. Now, there has been declining enrollment, not unaffected by the Pandemic. While professors remain the bright spot, it appears that student services, in general, leaves much to be desired. Unfortunately, there exists much unnecessary red tape in getting expedited services. Policies are stuck in the 1990s. Counselors are NEVER available. 30 years ago, there were always 2 counselors working nights who would see students until 7pm on a walk-in basis. What the hell happened? Beautiful campus with new buildings; but this place is a shell of itself. It gives the impression that this school does not care about students. So disappointing.
