This newly built building is located on the corner of Folsom Blvd and Mather. The parking lot is…read moreone way in and out... and so is the school. Sucks due to traffic! To enter the building you have to enter the front which is where everybody can see you from Folsom blvd. It's a bit of inconvenience but for safety reasons, I get it. Upon entry there's student services, and to the left they have a generic bookstore area (I can't really call it a bookstore because it's just a person behind the counter) and a lounge to chill/study. They have a copier for students to use in the lounge area (10 cents per page). The classrooms are pretty decent size and all new! No graffiti/doodling on the tables or odd gums underneath the tables, or stinky carpet. The bathrooms aren't disgusting either. This location isn't so bad, but the parking lot needs improvement.

The Rancho Cordova campus is incredible. Whoever designed the building did a spectacular job…read more This campus is by far my favorite - probably because it's just one building, compared to the Folsom & El Dorado campuses. There is a student lounge area with vending machines & tons of electrical outlets, so it is the perfect spot to charge your laptop or phone while you're waiting for your class to start, or need somewhere to hang out. There is also a really nice computer lab on the second floor. Classrooms are spacious & the bathrooms are CLEAN! Always a plus. :-D Carson C. El Dorado Hills, CA

For about 90% of the course the instructor didn't teach much and just allowed us to do what we wanted.

I attend the music department concerts frequently. For a nominal ticket price (or often for free)…read morethe music quality is excellent. The auditorium seats about 150 so the venue is small enough that every seat is a good one. The CSUSac music department teaches many genres of music. Do you like jazz, they got you covered. Do you like symphonic music, yeah they got that, too. Chorale? Come listen to the golden voices. Parking lot is across the mini-road. From your parked car to the auditorium is about 30 steps. Coming here for music is a treat. It's also easy, no ridiculous crowds, no unruly patrons, no hassles. A corner of peace in a world full of tumult. Dress casually. Relax and enjoy.

Only sign up to come here if you really want to be a successful RT. With that being said, I met some great people here. The staff all had encouraging things to say to me when I was getting discouraged during my job hunting. That really meant a lot to me because I was getting hopeless, not to mention anticipating school loan bills. About 5 months later, I finally found a RT job. After you graduate, don't expect jobs to fall out of the sky. You're going to have to hit the grind, build a million portfolios, and network like crazy. In addition to that, this school has an amazing career advisor and I still get compliments to this day on my resume. I give this school a five because they truly did give me the tools to be successful, but they also were realistic and gave me the confidence to face the daunting task of job hunting. Encouraging staff is something that you can't put a price on.

Run for the hills! If I could give this school less than 1 star, I would. My experience with the RT…read moreprogram and RT program director Ms. Elma Dos Santos would cause any sane person to lose their sanity. I have repeatedly raised concerns about what I believe has been inconsistent treatment, grading practices, communication, and disciplinary decisions. Instead of feeling like a student who's concerns were taken seriously, I've been constantly ignored my the Dean, the school's discrimination team, and any other higher ups for the RT program. Prepare for the instructors to create an environment that feels less than pleasant, and certainly not respectful. We pay to go to this school, and they treat us like we are in the military. Hair up, uniform on point, 4 hour classes where you'd be lucky if you get allowed a 10 minute break. Rules are enforced differently based on if Elma Dos Santos likes you or not. Some students are able to slide by if they do a little butt-kissing, those who prefer to stand with integrity are usually punished. I am proud to say I am one of those students. And then came the bathroom situation. Both campus restrooms were unavailable due to being serviced, so students were told to "just wait." A few students, myself included, left to go across the street and relieve ourselves. If you can believe this, when we came back to the classroom we were told to "sing & dance" in front of our peers to prevent having our professionalism points deducted for being late back from break. I said no, that I refuse to be humiliated in front of my entire cohort, & my points were taken away dropping my grade significantly; I went from an A in the class to a C. Is this not a form of hazing? And it's the instructors wanting us to do this which is the worst part. If I could go back in time, I never would have chose Carrington College/SJVC Rancho Cordova. Some of the staff are cool, and truly do care about education and the students. Stephanie, the admissions counselor is amazing. Mr. Wallace is kind and knowledgeable and loves what he does, Mrs. Crabtree who is no longer there, was amazing. However the RT program director, Ms. Dos Santos, is a walking bag of spite. If you are not prepared to bow down to her, she will make sure to make your experience there hell. I have a written statement from a Term 5 student that she told my peers that I am "no good" and "a spoiled brat" and she also made false allegations against me that I work in the "adult entertainment industry"... this is a 60 year old woman... so just keep that in mind! If you're considering enrolling here, first of all don't. But if you insist, be prepared to ask lots of questions, practically be begging for clarification on the grading policies, and be prepared to be treated like a prisoner of war, not someone who aims to better themselves. Apparently surviving the RT program requires learning 2 things... how to manage a ventilator and how to manage an administrative paper trail. You have been warned!

After a break for a semester, I decided to look into programs I might have interest in and I discovered NCE Optician Technician! It's been going on for sometime but it was new to me! I got a call from Keenan and I thought I was getting into something shady... but I had nothing to lose. I decide to show up to the meeting and Keenan showed enthusiasm and he knew his position really well. I won't lie he got me into this program with a little nudge and I'm glad I got in! My first day in the Optician class seemed very intimidating but also refreshing. Everyone seemed eager to learn. Mr. C was an amazing teacher, gets straight to the point, teaches you what you need to know and if you have any questions that he might not know, he will find the answer pretty quickly. Mr. C has a very fun personality and honestly, I will miss this program. The counseling was great, the financial staffs gets straight to the point on your financials, and they help you with your externship! I'm starting my externship on Tuesday and I'm super excited! I hope whoever is reading this, whoever has bad eyesight and want to learn more about eyes, consider Optician Technician! It's a fun learning experience and I believe if a drop out can do it, you can!

A lot of the time, it felt like we were just watching YouTube videos or listening to teachers teach from old books and lesson plans instead of getting the education and hands-on experience I expected. I also experienced what felt like favoritism, and there were issues with the way some staff treated students and handled complaints. What was especially disappointing was the feeling that staff would discuss students negatively after the student had walked away or after a phone call had ended. That kind of behavior makes it very difficult to feel respected or comfortable bringing concerns to them. Another major concern was student privacy. I personally saw and received information belonging to other students that should not have been shared. Thankfully, I'm an honest person and did not misuse any of it, but it was still very concerning. Overall, this was a messy and frustrating experience. I would strongly recommend doing your research before spending your time and money here. Your experience may be different depending on the teacher you get, but I personally would not recommend this school.
