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.

I called the main hub and told the receptionist that I applied to a full time office role at VC. I clarified that I did not apply at a job fair. I applied online. After 3 phone transfers(after stating clearly what I applied to) I finally got to HR. I offered to provide the job ID to the agent who declined. He then explained that the full time job I applied to does not exist. Why was it posted then?Im hesitant to know which job openings at VC are "real" and which ones arent.

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.

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!

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!

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.

I was a working engineer living in Ventura with a family at the time and a regular law school was impossible, time wise and financially. I am 81 years old and still have my solo practice that is financially and intellectually rewarding. In response to comments about lack of sympathy for personal problems, I say that is the real world. You must learn to separate personal and professional worlds. Clients, judges, and opposing counsel expect you to deal with your personal problems, opposing counsel might even take advantage of situation.
