    Although I haven't attended any courses at this Sierra College location, this review is for their…read moreworld class 18 hole Disc Golf course. It's incredible that the college allowed such an awesome course to be installed on their premises. The college itself also looks like a great place to further your education, who wouldn't want to be here looking out at such a wonderful landscape. If your looking for a great hike and a course that will test every shot this is the one to put on your list. Way to go Sierra College!

    Now that I finally got my associate's degree (through a 1 1/2 year petition process entirely…read moreinstigated by me, now 22 credits shy of my B.A. and just short of threatening a human protest with my hands shackled to Gov. Jerry Brown's doorknob at the Capitol) I can write my review. Pros: -Like all colleges in the California Community College system, you cannot beat the financial deal here. Something like $42 a credit. -There are great teachers here who genuinely care about their students and coursework/intellectual integrity. This is nothing short of a miracle considering 98% of the instructors are underpaid, part-time employees with NO benefits. -It is a great place to have a "soft start" if you've been out of school for a while. -If you are in the Tahoe basin, can't beat the commute. Right off I-80. -Super friendly administrative support at the front desk. Those ladies run the place and my hats off to them. -Teachers are often also practitioners in their field. -Relaxed vibe. Very relaxed. -$30 parking permit. Seriously. Cons: -Only 10% of community college students are able to transfer to a BA degree-granting program. -Some of your classmates will be on the 10-year plan, if you get my drift, where CC enrollment is a lifestyle choice (hence the recent kibosh of unlimited credits on financial aid w/ out penalty). -Some of your classmates may have been recently released from a mental hospital, halfway house, or related venue. Proceed with caution. -You may have to swallow hard and receive workshop critiques from entitled high school students who have no compunction saying, "Your writing sucks." -Some of your classmates who are older and have kids, medical appointments, work, etc. (Read: EXCUSES) will expect you to be their "note bitch." DON'T DO IT! -Don't expect stellar academic counseling. I became my own counselor, transfer coordinator, and captain of my own ship after almost capsizing from the non-advice I received at Sierra College and will end up with 27 credits beyond the minimum needed for my BA degree program. -Building is freezing cold in winter and has NO hot water in sinks and bathrooms get filthy by the end of the day since they put maintenance staff on limited hours. To conclude, if you don't mind slogging through some mire and bootstrapping your way to an education, have at it. As they say, nothing is free, so don't be fooled by the low prices. You will pay for your education here, but for all my bitching I'm grateful for SC and what I learned here, in and out of the classroom.

    US Davis Tahoe City Field Station…read more Came across US Davis Tahoe City Field Station during my 10-day stay at Lake Tahoe for working company retreat. UC Davis holds special place in my heart. Got excited! Returned twice to check it out and take photos. Walked around the native plant demonstration garden, read all the posted info, in support of environmental research, preserving Lake Tahoe natural ecology & education center. "This is the place to explore, discover and learn about what we can do to keep Tahoe blue." Pretty important place, if you ask me! There's an outdoor pathway around the building and the demonstration garden with native plants. It makes sense to go native, because native plants thrive in natural soil and climate without much of a special effort, extra watering, or fertilization with chemicals, plus they are adopted to native pests! Ericsson Education Center is focused on protective and restorative efforts for Lake Tahoe ecology. It was still closed down for COVID when I visited. There's also Bill Combs Memorial Boathouse on the property. He was a prominent Lake Tahoe advocate who served as a board member for various foundations and helped raise funds for Tahoe research and education. The boats and equipment are used to study the root causes of the decline in Lake Tahoe legendary clarity. I would definitely visit again when I'm back in this area. Location: northbound of Tahoe City on Hwy 28 to Dollar Point. I presume they will keep pre-pandemic work hours for indoor exhibits when the field station re-opens: 8am - 6pm Memorial Day through Labor Day. If you prefer a guided tour, they are given on Saturdays 10am - 2pm and could be arranged by calling 775-881-7566 or via email tercinfo@ucdavis.edu. Pictures posted taken on Sunday 6/13/2021. "Aggie Fight Song" Lift up your voices, now's the time to sing This is the day the Victory Bell will ring Loyal Aggies, all for one Never stopping, 'till we've won Because the Mustang will show our team the way to fight, Charging the enemy with all his might Let's go, Let's win, today's the day The Aggies will Fight, Fight, Fight!
