If you park near the Enterprise lot, the staff there will ask you to move your car (learned that the hard way), so plan to park on the street if possible. Now onto the class--overall, I had a good experience. The staff is super friendly and happy to answer any questions. They give all the instructions at the beginning, then you work independently while they check in with you periodically. Everyone has a different learning style, so this teaching method may work really well for some, while others (like me!) might prefer a more hands-on, step-by-step approach. Either way, I had a good time and I'm so glad I gave it a try!

BETTER THAN PORN!…read more My Husband was surprising me with some mysterious activity in Sacramento for my Birthday on April 2nd (a Tues) and upon getting into the car we had the following conversation: Him: So now that we are on our way i guess i can tell you what we are doing. We will be indoors with a lot of bright lights, so it's good that you did your makeup, and look nice. Me: Very puzzled expression. Him: Do you remember that move, "Zach and Miri Make a Porno" and how at the end their business is helping couples create their own studio-quality sex tapes? Me: Yeaaaaah... Him: Well i thought it would be nice, you know to do that, and its a really nice place with only women on set... Me: WTF?! You're kidding, we are absolutely not doing that! No, you're joking...and if you're not you better turn this car around! And he kept acting like this was legitimately his surprise for a another minute and was doing a really convincing job of pretending that he was for real, and thus my anxiety/anger level was increasing until he finally laughs and says, no we are going to a glass blowing class. Oh the relief! Obviously i was a bit mad at the deception but had to laugh at his uncanny ability to say all of that to me with a straight face. Anyways, the ladies of Girl Glass thought this story was hilarious and really wanted to have it said on yelp that this experience was better than porn, and it was! I do know that they made a special exception via emails and phone calls back and forth between them and my husband to arrange this private class for us because it was not a normal day that they would have done it. They even allowed us to go to their house, and we did it in their backyard, just the two of us. My husband and I each made ornaments, and it was a really unique and fun experience that I totally recommend to anyone with any interest in the art of glass blowing. Its mind boggling what they can do and how it works and also very hot!!! Long sleeves highly recommended! They do a demo, and then they guide you through choosing your colors and then actually doing it yourself/assisting in the creation of your very own masterpiece. You don't get to take it home right away but they have various arrangements for getting it once it is ready. Another sweet touch: they had asked my hubby ahead of time if i liked vanilla or chocolate, to which he told them chocolate and then after our ornaments were made they brought out two delicious chocolate cupcakes from a local bakery in honor of my birthday! It was above and beyond to even get them but they were to-die-for good too!!! And so, to the ladies of Girl Glass: I give you five stars and I say thank you for a wonderful memory. I can't wait to see our finished ornaments!

I have been a student here and I have passed through for events. I was recently here for parking so…read moreI can attend William Land Park for a walking event. I did appreciate the convenience of this and how parking only cost $2.00. When I was a student here, I wanted to take classes that I was interested in without the pressure of schooling. I enjoyed my death and dying psychology class. I also loved my sign language class. There was also ballet and hula which helped me fall back in love with dancing. The instructors and educational staff here are reliable. I enjoyed my experience at Sac City College. Go Panthers!

I've been to four year universities that don't have quality classes and teachers like this place…read more LOCATION & DECOR: Large campus with a traditional University setup, a community area called The quad and buildings within close proximity. Can easily walk around this campus although it doesn't feel small. Across the street from the ever gorgeous Land Park on Freeport and 12th avenue. CLASSES/CURRICULUM: They have courses in graphic design and digital media, aeronautics, theater arts, traditional studio arts, fashion, photography, cosmetology, and of course the general eds. PRICE: $$$ The credits are about $46 per credit. However most students can attend free of charge with proper FAFSA and financial aid forms filled out before each semester. There are unavoidable fees like student representation and something else, but that isn't more than a hundred bucks that I've ever paid and I'm overshooting just to be sure I don't leave anyone astray. There hasn't been a parking fee since everything went online, but I do foresee it returning which is about $40 a semester and half that for motorcycles SWAG/AMENITIES: A lunch hall, student services, disability services, tutoring services, a design lab, a makerspace, auditorium, sports stadium, swimming pool, theater stage, student supply store, veterans resource Center, and much more. STAFF & EXPERIENCE: This place is like that show cheers where everybody knows your name. Staff and faculty truly care about their students. Class is usually max out at 28 in the design and art departments so you really get to know your instructor and classmates over 16 weeks. The level and quality of courses here rival any 4 year university. I completed the design and digital media associates degree program involved of 2019 and have taken two classes per semester since because there are just too many quality classes here to pass up on. The instruction level is the best I've ever received at the collegiate level. I even started tutoring in the design lab just because I wanted to soak up the knowledge and environment a little more and I do enjoy helping others in that way. I have complete freedom to choose the classes that suit my particular needs and every class I take just makes me want to take another class. I'd recommend this university to anyone, especially anyone looking to be in the graphic arts and traditional arts fields. Some of the classes here they don't even teach it for your universities and some of the knowledge you learn here is what they expect you to already know when you get to some of the universities like Sac State.

I was driving in from LA so things were hard to kind of coordinate, but Maria went up above and beyond to make sure that things were so easy for me. When I came in to check on the place the day before the party Derek and Maria were literally cleaning chairs because the rental company dropped off dirty tables and chairs. This is not something that they needed to do, but they went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy. Everything was so clean. The space was so spacious. All of my guests were extremely impressed and the fact that I really had to do minimal decorations was the true winner in this. There was so much seating and you can even add more tables and chairs if you wanted to. They had a sound system so so easy to plug in play. I can go on and on about the convenience, but check out my photos. We had a blast. It's such a unique space they also hold events which I look forward to joining. I had such a blast that I can't wait to use the space for something else like getting together with my girls for a brunch or like a paint night but if you're looking for a place to throw a party or get together, I mean, check this place out. It will not disappoint.

The location is central to the neighborhood and pretty walkable for those living nearby. There's a large and general clean parking lot, and the building itself is well-kept. Inside, there are several activity rooms or classrooms, 1 bigger auditorium/multi-purpose room/basketball courts gym, common areas where books & board/card games, table with seating, and lounging chairs are also available throughout. Outside there are grassy fields for sports, a very large lap swimming pool and a kid's pool with some water features to include water pipes that would shoot or dump water down and water slides for kids. All in all, this is a good community center. I think the outdoors facilities could use some update, but generally, the grounds outside and the building itself have both been kept in good condition for the most part.

Although not in the best part of town, I feel it's actually quite safe here and it's very well maintained. It's very clean, the bathrooms in particular were really much cleaner than private sports clubs and gyms I've been to and although the hours are more limited, 8a-8p M-F and Sat 8a-12n, there's also a gym studio with pretty decent equipment (with a very reasonable membership fee). There are afterschool programs for kids here M-F 3-6p and some adults and teens drop in open hours type of sports offerings as well. The multi-purpose room (i.e. gymnasium) is huge and can turn into a full court for basket or a couple of volleyball courts. There's also a computer lab with open hours for public use, and there are 2 full basketball courts outdoors in addition to some grassy fields (not very big though), and of course the swimming pools which are open only for the summer season. Overall, Samuel & Bonnie Pannell Community Center remains a vital part of the community in Meadowview/South Sacramento area and provides quite a lot of free and paid facilities and recreation and sports programs for all ages.
