I graduated from VC more years ago than I will admit. Now I am taking a night class and am very…read moreimpressed with the new library and other campus additions.. Some of the classrooms are in the same funky 1970s buildings, but the art/design classroom has updated computers and huge monitors. The library building has cool architecture and a vast seating area with computers. The online registration process is challenging (you need a Master's degree to figure it out), but after an hour and a call to the helpline which confirmed that the error glitch would require me to re-input all my data again, I was able to register. The open hours for the store and registration are tricky too, so check online before venturing over. The teachers are as cool as I remembered them, so it has been rather fun revisiting some of my college memories. I even find parking spots on Loma Vista like I used to, and they will still ticket you in the permit parking lots too.

While VC offers affordable and convenient classes, it falls short in every other department. Every…read morecounselor my family has met has given false information and limited choices where there were alternatives available. In addition, the teachers are highly unmoving and do not even allow a late assignment when an immediate family member has been in the hospital or even passed away. Most recently, a teacher stated that it would not be equitable to treat students differently in such circumstances. Equality and equity are not the same thing; equity is giving people what they need, versus equality which is giving everyone the same thing. The fact that she did not understand that concept was especially frustrating and alarming considering it was a COMMUNICATIONS CLASS. I strongly urge any and all attendees to research the teacher's name and history on MULTIPLE sources, not just the college's. This institution depends on the ignorance of students in order to pass themselves off as "experts." I use the term "teacher" rather than "professor" since they are clearly not at that caliber. In this particular case, the teacher is Stacy Sloan Graham. We are required to take multiple courses in equity to obtain our degrees. However, this college does not seem to require their educators to practice it.

DO NOT GO TO THIS COLLEGE. I would not send any child of mine here on a bet. The mentality is…read more militaristic and cultlike and the spiritual abuse is unconscionable. A young friend of mine, a recent convert to Catholicism, went here and I was absolutely horrified at her stories. To give one small example, it is required that all of the students sit and listen to all of their teachers talking about them with no filter. The criticism is just complete spiritual putdowns to absolutely crush the spirit. No mercy, no kindness. She was literally crying and they didn't stop. It's a place where you are broken down. All of the alumni look alike, which says a lot. Another thing people should know is that neither Catherine of Aragon nor Queen Victoria would pass the modesty standard. I am not joking. any neckline more than two fingers under the collarbone is considered slutty. The culture is so utterly out of touch and sets such an impossible standard that the alumni cannot function outside of the subculture, mostly because they are so full of themselves. STAY AWAY IF YOU LOVE YOUR FAITH. This place is about pride.

I'm trying to help my sister apply but they're website is very low tech so it's a hassle, we've…read morecontacted just about every department to get help and so far no one has gotten back to us this has been going on since September. It's honestly very discouraging it seems as though they don't want to enroll any one new. They also made some updates to their requirements which were not previously listed. They need to be professional and give answers and help to those interested in applying. My cousin is going through the same and they told her if she didn't have straight As they won't even consider reviewing her application. Both my Sister and cousin have been accepted to six other colleges but want to apply here as our family is Faith oriented.

This college campus has intrigued me for a while. I read an article in Forbes last year that had…read morethe 25 colleges with the most bang for your buck, and Cal State Channel Islands made that list. I think the average student debt upon graduation was a few thousand dollars? I have since been trying to convince my high school age daughter, subtly of course, that this is the college for her! I came here once to see a play that was in the black box theater. That was at night time so I didn't get to check out the campus very much. But it was really pretty at night- there are a lot of strung lights around the small streets. Makes it seem very intimate and inviting. Another time, I came during the day just to drive around and check out the various buildings/layout. I believe this site was an old state hospital? You can still see some of the old buildings versus the new ones. It all comes together really nicely I think. I came for another visit last weekend & walked around the campus with my daughter. It was a Sunday and we were looking for a non-crowded place to get outdoors, as we are trying to practice social distancing while getting some fresh air. I'm happy to say my daughter really enjoyed walking around this campus. It's really open and there's plenty of parking, plenty of visibility for sure. My review doesn't include anything about the academia of the school from personal experience, although I have read great things about it and know a few people that have gone here and enjoyed their experience (they were all gainfully employed, as well). I'm glad to have this lovely campus near us to visit and enjoy walking around. Oh, and my pup loved her walk here as well. Keeping fingered crossed that my daughter gives it a deeper look come college time!

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.

Today they told me they did not have enough people for their cohort in September so now they will not even offer classes in the fall!! It's too late for me to get into another program from another university now! Hours wasted. Money wasted. They completely screwed me over. Renee Rivera straight up lied to me time and time again. I suspect they purposely sabotaged the fall semester by losing people's documents so they would have less to do. Unprofessional. Unethical. Incompetent. Impossible to even apply to get in! Stay far away and don't waste your time.

The cheapest law school that I know of. All night classes. Ok maybe a couple of Saturday classes…read more It is not approved by the national bar, but it is approved by the state bar. My classes' first time bar pass rate was about 50%. I started working insurance defense with new lawyer who graduated from Loyola with $100,000 in debt. I paid a fifth of that back then. State Farm and Allstate both have firms where the managing attorney is from a state accredited law school. Course some firms will not even consider you without a degree from a nationally accredited law school. In fact the Daily Journal has job listings where they ask you not to apply if you do not come from a ABA approved law school. If you want to work for a small firm, are starting law school late in life, don't want to go into debt, don't have outstanding LSAT scores, can't get a scholarship or a relative to help pay or already know someone or some place that will hire you, go here. Many of the teachers are local judges, so locally it has a good reputation. You won't have any social life for four years, but that's what it takes.

They marketed it at the time I applied as a school for working adults. I wish I had attended Pepperdine, St. Francis or Purdue Global. COL will literally disqualify you even in your third year. As in you paid all this tuition & then boom! Disqualification. In your first year the classes start with 45 students. Please look at the number of students who actually get to graduate each year (that will tell you everything you need to know) and sit for the bar. You'll see more than half either drop out or get disqualified. A lot has changed at this school since 2024. It's not worth the tuition risk cost or dealing with biased and gatekeeper-esque instructors like Professor Jones. If he doesn't like you (it can be for no reason too) and you pull off below a C+ just remember he's on the academic petition committee. He will make sure you're disqualified later. The mentors I had are paid students & aren't very helpful. You'll try to get study time in & the caring ones turn it into a therapy session & you just wanna go over cases. The instructors have too much power & lack accountability. You're afraid to speak out or go to the Dean because Professors like Jones will threaten you & spend class time complaining about a student having an issue about him turning Contracts class into a sob story about his divorce & 6 kids moving away. Unless you don't work, or work part-time it's a waste of money.
