Once, while I was in the back of a squad car in the late eighties, a police officer explained to me…read morethat her forcing me to wear a shirt at TGI Friday's 'Margarita Mondays' is not a violation of my Constitutional rights. The Internet didn't yet exist, so I had to take a day off and go to the law library the next day to discover, much to my disappointment, that Officer Jones was absolutely right. The "pursuit of happiness" was, in fact, memorialized in the Declaration of Independence, which is not a binding foundational document that confers any legally cognizable rights to Americans. I also learned, when Officer Jones interrupted my 30-minute long form shirtless breakdancing session near the 'Endless Salad Bar', that six margaritas is my limit. Point is that sometimes practical experience is more immediately useful than book learning, but no less important. The beauty of Ventura College - besides the huge variety of classes and disciplines that they teach the local community - is that you get the best of both worlds: practical instruction from professionals with real world experience and a close study of the theoretical underpinnings of that coursework. I'm taking a computer class at VC to beef up my professional skills and it's been wonderful. I tried to get into the advanced Modern Dance class, but grainy security footage of a long form dance routine at TGI Friday's isn't considered a proper audition reel. In fact, my guidance counselor called it "concerning" and suggested that I take a computer class. Thank you, Ventura College!

I had the absolute worst experience at this college, especially as a disabled veteran. The teachers…read moredo not teach and there is no instruction whatsoever. You are given a slideshow and basically told good luck. The disability office never answered my email, and veterans office never reached out either... the teachers rarely give any feedback on top of that. Many emails, questions & complaints went unanswered. I honestly hope they get their funding pulled because this seems like a waste of tax dollars to me!

I have a bachelors degree and I attended the school for their accounting certificate program, which is a different field than what I studied. After completing this program and working for a small business as a bookkeeper, I was hired by an accounting firm as a bookkeeper as well. Everything I needed to know for that job I learned over four months at Oxnard Adult Education with an excellent teacher, who has ample experience in the banking industry.

I decided to go to Oxnard college instead of Cerro Coso to further my education to someplace close by me. I have been calling for the past 2 weeks every single day leaving voicemails to the school counselor to schedule an appointment to enroll in classes and no one picks up the phone or returns my voicemails. Because of that, I'm 1 week late into the semester. I've even tried contacting the education director to find out what's going on, again he doesn't pick up. Now I'm behind, thank you Oxnard College.

At Oxnard College, I studied ESL (English as a second language). In general, the buildings are…read morebeautiful and the classrooms are well-equipped. The library provides free books and iPads for students. ‼However, opinions about the teachers vary. I have never encountered a worse teacher than German Bermudez! He is very arrogant, unfriendly, and the atmosphere in his class is always tense! He speaks with a strong Latin accent, and he never explains new words. He always speaks quickly, and he gives strict deadlines for homework that you can't complete (on an iPad), which other teachers don't do. As I was informed, he used to be a student and now he's a tutor, which is why he has a sense of grandeur. I am very disappointed that the college doesn't have control over who they hire... Additionally, I would like to recognize the most excellent teacher in this college, Patricia Viveros! She always smiles, jokes with her students, and is very helpful in explaining new words!‍‍ Her lessons are easy and fun, and the atmosphere is friendly! She is a great teacher with a lot of experience and a kind heart! Her teaching methods make it easy to understand and learn English! I would recommend her as the best teacher in California!

Wanting to share my expirience during my time at Laurus College, I felt it would be appropriate to…read morelet others who might be looking at taking their next level of education at one of the Laurus campus'. When I started back 4 years ago, little did I know I would be able to take on this new chapter in my education, starting with the goal of earning an Associates degree, let alone walking away with my Bachelor's as well. The staff at Laurus helps one from start to finish, answering questions and offering support to ensure you not only are at ease, but also with the intention of you succeeding in the goal you have set. Flexible classes, locations and programs is just a few key factors that led me to take on this challenge, and with myself finally reaching my goal and then some, I must say that this was a far better expirience than I ever expected. If you are looking at broadening your resume, personal goals or to set an example for your children, and feel like you are not up to it, too old or not capable, DO YOUSELF A FAVOR AND TALK TO A LAURUS COLLEGE represenative and get started. You have no idea how easy the process is and how it can work in your favor.

My son was bullied numerous times, and twice in front of staff. Only a call to parents was their consequences. Last week of school my son's 4th grade teacher LEFT HIM OUTSIDE, after he complained of having a hard time breathing during PE, he has asthma, she knew that and admitted it, and yet: NOTHING WAS DONE. She tried to apologize saying she was "just upset". Thankfully my son is ok, because it would have been bad for her.
