This is for the Maker Space located inside the Schulz library. We were here on a college tour and wandered inside the maker space when I saw that little robot standing by the door. Staff was very welcoming. They showed us around, explained what the equipment was for. They even let us make buttons. The space is free for use for students and members of the community. This is a really good thing to have at college! https://library.sonoma.edu/makerspace

This review is just for the Santa Rosa Junior College Petaluma. The main SRJC campus in Santa…read moreRosa will be a separate review with 2 stars. I'm taking a series of courses that are only available at the Petaluma campus. It's a certificate program for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. I started 2 weeks late as I didn't know the CCNA was available at the JC. The Petaluma campus admissions office rushed me through the enrollment and registration process. There was no wait as there is at the main campus. I started class the very next day. The parking was plentiful as it is a smaller campus than the main campus. I was at the main campus in Santa Rosa to see a counselor. After searching for a parking space for half an hour in the 5 story parking structure, I was told by a SRJC police officer my best chance was to park on Ridgway Avenue on the south side of Santa Rosa High School and walk 3/4 of a mile to the counselling office on Elliott. This is after I paid $55 for an on campus parking permit. The Petalauma classroom for the CCNA is spacious, modern, and set up egonomically with large monitors on swivel arms. The projection system is very bright even with the classroom lights on. Fortunately, even for a 4 hour long class, these amenities all make the experience an enjoyable class. Highly recommend the Petaluma campus if you have a choice in class offerings.

I'm not originally from the area and asked friends and colleagues which would they recommend, SRJC…read moreor College of Marin, Kentfield campus and some attended both schools. Hands down they all recommended SRJC. I started my first year at the Santa Rosa campus the Fall semester of 2011, as an older adult (with adult kids 22+) attending college for the first time. The campus grounds exceeded my expectation and looks like four year college. The resources (writing center, tutoring center) were very helpful. From 2012-2013, most my classes were at the Petaluma campus with a few classes up in Santa Rosa because of my choice of teachers. The Petaluma campus is smaller and easier to get around from one end of the campus to the other. Again, the writing center and tutoring center were outstanding. The tutors were helpful and patient. Just like anything else, students will connect with certain tutors depending on your learning style. I would spend an average of 90 hours a semester in the tutoring center. I'd do my homework, study for a test either by myself or a group of students with a tutor available when needed. The tutors got to know you and would always check in with you to see if you're prepared for a test or how you did. In my opinion, the Petaluma campus had more of a community feel. As a older adult the younger students were great to work with and I did not feel out of place. I noticed the Petaluma campus had more older students (30+) than Santa Rosa. I received my AA with highest honors and transferred to Sonoma State in Fall 2013. If it weren't for the writing and tutoring centers, I don't think I would have full comprehension of the subjects and a high GPA. I also made some great friends and met some awesome teachers. GO BEAR CUBS!!

We visited UC Davis so my daughter could take a look at the campus. It's one of the schools she is…read moreconsidering applying to. This is the largest and most spread out campus we visited. There is a lot of walking involved. This is the place to rack up Fitbit steps. Many students ride their bikes around campus, and there are many bike circles (roundabouts) at intersections to help keep traffic flowing smoothly. I think everyone should come here to learn how to manœuvre around a roundabout (especially people who shop at Costco Santa Clara because they can not figure out the new roundabout they installed in the parking lot). The campus has changed quite a bit over the decades. There are many new buildings, and many old ones being demolished. There is a large new visitor parking lot and a nice Visitor Center near it. The visitor center is a good place to grab a map and make a comfort stop before exploring the campus. You can also schedule a tour before you arrive. There is a mini gift shop at the Visitor Center. I suggest going to the store at the MU for a larger selection of gifts and souvenirs. Check out the arboretum (near the Visitor Center) if you have time. The Memorial Union is the center of the universe. You'll find student services, a place to pick up or return Amazon packages, the bookstore/gift shop, the game room (it's downstairs; has bowling, billiards and gaming computers), and most importantly food and coffee. Another place to find food is at the Silo, where there are some food vendors indoors and food trucks outdoors. We visited various dorm buildings on campus and also off campus housing. We even saw cows near Tercero (dorm). And also checked out downtown Davis, which is no longer the "sleepy" downtown I remembered it to be decades ago. There's definitely a wider variety of restaurants in Davis today. Trader Joe's is near campus, how cool is that? The Chem 194 building (large lecture hall) has been renamed to Rock Hall. The steps out front leading up to the front doors seem much shallower than I remembered them to be. In my mind, the steps were more numerous, similar to the steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (think: Rocky movie). Ok, my memory must be fuzzy, after all, it was a long time ago since I was an undergrad here.... This would be a good place to go for the college town experience, with the pleasant side effect of graduating with a decent education... but does this really matter? How many of us go on to do something that is related to what we studied in college? It's more about the journey, the experiences we have and the people we meet along the way. .

He applied for another program, so I'm hoping that arrives soon.. He does have other applications that he submitted so, we will see where he goes.. If UcDavis can provide what he needs, this will be the first choice.. (his goal: to go to the Okinawa Institute )..! Thank you for allowing my son to truly venture out into this world with so many opportunities..
