    With the Measure Q funding, the Fairfield campus is now ready for the next 20 years of service. Classes are limited but the faculties and the staff are doing a very good job. Take a look inside the library and you will be impressed with the facility and the service.

    The only reason I am giving the school 4/5 instead of 5/5 is the "OK" counseling department.

    There is more than one person who has "went the extra mile" for me and I cannot just pick one,…read moreHence this paper that is attached to the survey. 1. Justin: If it were not for Justin being at Heald College when it closed I would have never heard of this school. He also gave me information about the school that had me really excited to come and be a student here. 2. Tina: Tina has been amazing and helped make sure that I had everything that I needed and stayed on top of everything. Especially on reminding me about my make-up hours. 3. Melissa: I have not really spent as much time with Melissa as I have Tina but every time I have asked her for help she was always there. Especially when I had assignments were due and the printer in the lab was not working, she would come in and fix it like it's nothing. Such a life-saver and a grade saver! 4. Nicole: Even though she is not at this location anymore she still had did a lot for me especially making sure that my paperwork for my stuff was done. She is one of the few people that have called me to give me reminders about things that needed to be done or that were going to be due. 5. Carrie: Is another person that is not here anymore but she helped keep me on my game and Took care of anything for me that I needed help with. It sucks that she's not here to hear this but she is truly amazing. 6. Carla: I have not really done too many things with Karla but she was still very nice and had answers to questions that others did not or at least were not sure of. And she would always say hi to me when she seen me. 7. Mrs. Heather: Awesomely amazing teacher!!!! Made class very enjoyable and fun to learn. There are a lot of good memories that I will never forget. She was like one of us just not as a student haha. She also never gave up on any of us and would do anything she could to help us and make sure that we all passed the class. 8. Mrs. Raynor: Another awesomely amazing teacher who loved her students and loved teaching us all. I will say her class felt a little harder but it was still very enjoyable and fun. Just like Mrs. Heather she never gave up on her students and would do anything that she could to make sure that we all pass her class. Overall everyone here at this school is amazing. Thank you for making education fun and exciting. I really enjoyed my time here, and who knows maybe I'll come back and do another program! I love you all.

    Don't waste your time or money. I went into this school with high hope's and every excited to start…read moretraining for HVAC. Not even a month into it and I was regretting and dragging my feet to in everyday. My 1st instructor taught use more about his personal life then the actual subject. Didnt follow the way he was supposed to teach us whiched caused a big issue for those who were going to go into the next class. He passed everyone regardless. Had a motor project and passed us all even though none of us got the motor to work. He didnt really even try to get it running. You don't learn in the traditional way. You don't learn from A-Z. They will throw you in wherever the class is currently at. So you maybe learning the very end of the book before you even learn the beginning of the book which is bad if you are completely new to the subject and don't have any knowledge or experience. You don't jump into HVAC right away which is normal. You'll be doing electrical theory but my instructor didn't even go over HVAC electrical. I was learning more how to be an electrician then HVAC technician. Once I got into HVAC I was told in was going to take my certification test at the end of that month. Which is beyond stupid. They gave me a study packet to help prepare me for the test. By the time I had to take the test I failed of course but wasnt worried. Was told i had 3 attempts to take the test. The very next day after I took the 1st test i was told to take it again, and again I failed. The day after the 2nd test I was told to take it again and use the study packet because the head of the campus wants us to pass. Probably to give him a bonus or something like that. Well I'm not going to pay them to cheat on my future. I tried to talk them but the head of the campus "wasn't in today". I tired to call and kept going in to talk to him about why they wanted me to cheat. But kept getting the same response. I called them and told them I was dropping out because the cheating was the last straw. Then it seemed like they actually cared about my problem. I finally got calls back from the school and told them why I was leaving but the lady seemed not to really be paying attention and wanted me to go in and sit down with the head of the campus. I wasn't going to waste my time with them anymore. Said in was going to go in but didn't. I told them about it and they didn't seem to care until I left.

The people working here are nice; it's a small office so there are only a few of them there at a time. It was initially weird that it's in the mall but it's pretty handy if I need to make changes to my schedule or talk to someone about financial aid. They also have computers with demos of their online classes and you can apply to the school right there as well. The only thing they need is a snack bar. :)

This course only had platitudes about good study habits. Other classes taught words, with definitions and examples, which might appear on the test. This course only had a list of words and said "write definitions for these words." Other courses gave examples of how to analyze and write an essay about various kinds of written material (poetry, prose, advertizements, government information pamphlets, and plays). They taught how it will be graded by CSet examiner and what the CSet examiners wanted to see. This course simply gave you a passage and said analyze it and write an essay which they grade. The online information information in this course could have been 4 or 5 pages of (not very useful) handouts. They also have music videos with pretty pictures which one can view but it is completely baffling why. The relevance to the CSet English test is a mystery I was not interested in solving. Spend your money elsewhere.

What is that?! 2) They don't sell textbooks! So you need to travel to Fairfield to get them...along with other supplies that you need. 3) For a new building, they should've incorporated some "green" elements. The school I attend regularly (Ohlone College) just opened up a new campus in Newark and it's LEED certified (look it up). It opened up early this year, too. So...hmm...idk, I think it could've been constructed better. 4) Oh, and they don't sell real food.

    First let me say that I am SO happy that Vallejo has a JC!!!…read more It's conveniently located by the automalls off of the freeway. They don't have a huge campus but it's big enough for me. "40,000 square feet of classrooms, science and computer labs, an auditorium and a mmuli-use facility serving the physical education, dance and theatre programs." You're able to take the assessment tests here on select day and they have the financial aid help here also. You still have to purchase your textbooks at the main campus (Fairfield) bookstore or online @ http://www.solano.edu/bookstore/ I've taken off a star for two reasons. Firstly, the changes made to registering for classes is beyond confusing. It wasn't easy before and now it's so frustrating that had I not figured it out I might have just said forget it and not gone back to school. After tinkering and clicking here and there and demanding to be walked through a couple things over the phone (hehe I'm kinda mean but I need help and I'm not afraid to say it) I was registered for classes and able to figure out what I needed to do to recieve financial aid. Ok, my other gripe.. The soda machine!! I don't drink soda I drink water. I think that BOTH machines should have water available in the case that one stops working (which it did) there will be another machine available to get water from. OR how about the school can equip themselves with a refridgerator stocked with waters to sell to the students to that the school can make a little more money. I was VERY upset when I put my money in the machine (inside the school) and it just took it.. so why I put more money in in the hopes that MAYBE it might give me the water I so desired I have no idea.. And when I asked about it I was told that an "out of order" sign was being printed as we spoke. I asked for compensation and I was told there was nothing that could be done. I suggested that when the company comes to fix it maybe they could set aside a few waters for those of us who wasted our money in there and I could recieve a voucher.. no such luck. I was told I should write a letter but instead I figure I can bring my own water. Soda isn't assisting the american obesity problem but I'm only a student so what do I know?

Extremely antiquated environment full of staff that are unqualified, discompassionate, AND uneducated about psychological and learning disabilities. WHICH IS THEIR ENTIRE ROLE. The only thing they can seem to enforce is extra test time---which you have to jump through hoops to schedule. This is another barrier for someone with any disabilities that affect executive functioning. The ASC is responsible for advocating for students and finding an equitable way for them to keep up with their classmates, yet is useless when handling unaccommodating professors. The judgment I've faced here by trying to find reasonable accommodations is inane. Why are you being sassy and argumentative with me when I'm asking for help? A high EQ should be mandatory for a role that involves supporting a community that is highly vulnerable to discrimination. The "Accessibility Services Center" is also incredibly disorganized and frequently don't respond to emails. I have to hound them for updates, which is difficult for a student who is already trying to manage their hectic life. They don't seem to be the most cognitively sharp when trying to "help" disabled students, nor well-versed in Section 504 of the ADA... which should be a basic requirement. I know more about my rights than this place knows left from right. The amount of times I've had to repeat a large swath of information from one person [who promised to relay info] to the next that had seemingly no idea what was going on is ridiculous. I've run into multiple people who interrupted me, spoke over me, or made an underhanded remark at the expense of my abilities. I can't tell if Solano is just hiring people off the street to staff the ASC or what. I had a phone conversation with an older woman from the ASC who was supposed to help me formulate a plan to get back on track with school, and she had no advice that couldn't be applied to a neurotypical student. When I mentioned the barriers I face, she gave a long pause and stated flatly that I should "prioritize the class" and "study more". Why didn't I think of that? I could get better advising from a stranger on Omegle. Horrific experience. 1/10
