I enjoy Sacramento City College. Sac City is a great place to go if you're under financial constraint, but still want a good education. Just like any school, some professors are great and others aren't. The websites and navigation are very up to date, unlike some other community colleges I attend.

It was a nice experience

Raquel

Students and staff members are kind and helpful. Professors help you any way they can during office hours because they care and want you to succeed. The academics are challenge students for the better. The food is nothing to complain about, in fact I like it more than some restaurants. I never see trash laying around for too long because everyone picks up trash they see. The squirrels are very amusing and friendly as well. Some even come up to people. We have many successful athletic programs that go far. I love this school and I feel I made the right choice coming here.

  17. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    Professors who present lectures unclearly frustrate me the most. I have had several professors who do not stay on topic and also those who only discuss theory during their lectures when practical examples are desperately needed. When learning of the physical sciences, we do need to understand the theory, but as new students who have had very little exposure to the topic, we need practical examples to help us understand that theory and how to apply it to the world around us.
