Santa Barbara City College

So far I am LOVING my time here. So far all my professors & help staff have been utterly kind & approachable folks. I currently work in the lifescape gardens, which is a large garden space at the back of the campus overlooking the stadium. I love walking through the tropical section of the garden most of all! There are always so many lizards, rabbits, butterflies & hummingbirds around. I love being able to come to a great college with such a relaxing & friendly atmosphere. The views are great too! There is just so much plant life & nature throughout the campus & it really helps to calm the nerves. I will say though, you WILL get your daily steps in trying to get to all your classes & the cafeteria. But hey, that's alright, keeps me healthy. My only note is the cafeteria has great food, but it closes so early! I absolutely would recommend this college for anyone who wants a great scenic college experience.

I have had a great experience going here. I am currently finishing up my first semester here (3rd semester of college) after moving up from La Jolla. Three professors are great and the ocean view can’t be beat!

Really beautiful campus! Sending a special thanks to my academic counselor Katie as she helped plan how to get my degrees and suggested the amazing early childhood education classes I took to get those! If you want to take an amazing course- then children's literature is very memorable! I'll miss going to this campus! 📚

First of all, the view is amazing. You can literally see the ocean in the campus. The professors are really enthusiastic and professional. Also, the school provides lots of helpful services for students, such as stress relief, job internships and etc. I really recommend taking Summer classes for quick credits and studying. Also, there is a free bike shop in the campus, where SBCC students can fix their bike for free. It's called BiCi Centro. They learn how to fix their bikes.

SBCC has an impressive amount of programs and services for students from all paths of life! Faculty members that challenged and encouraged my learning! Happy and proud to be an alumni
