I got a Master's Degree in Healthcare Administration from CCHS in the 1990s. My review is limited…read moreto that timeframe. Back then, there were no schools in my area offering that degree. Nothing was online back then. I had to write a lot of papers and take proctored exams in person at my local library. The learning was superior. I use what I learned every day on my job. It was current and relevant. I have a BS degree from a reputable, brick-and-mortar college and have taken graduate-level courses from another. CCHS courses were far more challenging and I learned a lot more. The grading system was harsh. I saved a copy of it to show employers who ask for transcripts. They gave you a % grade, which they translated to a letter grade and then to a GPA. Problem is, the % grade translated to a letter grade one letter below standard! So if you got a 93%, that was a B on your transcript and calculated into your GPA as a B! Unbelievable. I will never get over that! Back then, the school was really disorganized. I had to call dozens of times just to get them to ship me the next course materials that I had paid for. I had many experiences like that. I would call and talk to different people who didn't know each other existed. This caused delays in completing the program. The flexibility was critical for me. Brick-and-mortar graduate programs back then all required part-time students to take 6-9 credit hours per semester; regional accreditation standards required that. I couldn't do that while working full-time and I couldn't afford it. Going with CCHS let me get my MS degree when no other programs could accommodate my needs. It was accredited, just not regionally, but because of the academic rigor and ridiculously hard grading system, IMO the degree really means something. I have not had difficulty finding jobs with it, although the lack of regional accreditation limits access to some positions (government, teaching). Pity, because it was actually a great education. I was SO disappointed they changed their name to Independence University. That name sounds like a diploma mill, which CCHS was not. I'm embarrassed to be associated with that name, to be honest.

During these times of COVID (everything is online, even PE - and Mira Mesa, Miramar and City are…read moreconsidered one combined entity, which I really like) I decided to quit my job and go back to school after decades since graduating high school. At the beginning of the semester I was fortunate enough to start chatting with a classmate who is going for the same degree as I am. We are trying to match our future core classes up so we have each other to lean on during this adventure over the next 2 years. I am just finishing up a semester here and so far have found the classes interesting and the professors competent and mostly communicative. I am looking forward to continuing my education here. I think, under the circumstances, this school has made reasonable adjustments to move 100% online. As a result, though, the website is pretty clunky and sometimes difficult to navigate, but you can more or less get what you need if you set aside a day and go through it thoroughly. There are a lot of self-tests and videos to watch to get you acquainted of how things are done. If you are pursuing a degree, you are required to speak to a counselor (online of course), and making an appointment with one is pretty much impossible via the website without assistance (search engine is useless); you have to call the school for advice on how to set up an online appointment with one. Someone got back to me the following day. Finally, after a couple weeks' wait, I ended up with a pleasant counselor, who helped me with my education plan via Zoom. Come prepared for this appointment by writing up a list of all your questions so you do not have to get another appointment. Besides the eye-rolling liberal vibe here, nothing can be more ridiculous than the staff who handles transcripts. I have never encountered such incompetence in my life. I took online college for a certificate in Internet and Website Development back in 2004-2005. Unfortunately the college I attended had closed sometime over the past 15 years so it was a cluster to track down my transcripts. SDCCD denied my transcripts because they keep asking me for a "missing" transcript from another state. The college I went to was online and had like 800 campuses and my profs were from all over the country. Apparently my one set of transcripts is not enough; they want the same set from another state(??!) and I am not completely sure why that is, and I do not think they know, either. I told them more than once I am unable to provide transcripts I never had; I gave them everything that exists in my name and what they are asking makes zero sense. I resubmitted my request to have them re-evaluated and was promptly denied again. This did not discourage me from continuing my education here (transcripts that ancient are probably not worth much), but it has definitely left a bad impression. I received zero assistance in rectifying this and gave up. Other than that, I am happy here so far and am (kinda) looking forward to putting in the sweat to get this degree. Go to a site like ratemyprofessor and research reviews of your future professors before signing up for courses. You will also have to move quickly as seats fill up fast. Good luck.

I've taken classes at three of the four San Diego Community College District's schools. Of them,…read moreSan Diego City College has been my worst experience by far. Safety: This is the biggest concern. The open campus is located in a high traffic area (due to the trolley being right next to it). Anyone can come and go from the campus with little issue. There has never seemed to be any campus police presence. I've never felt safe walking to and from campus, even during the day. Atmosphere: SDCCD's family of schools like to promote that they're inclusive and "safe-spaces" for marginalized groups. And while I've gotten that feeling from City's sister schools, I constantly see vandalism on City's campus targeting racial and sexual minorities. Combined with the fact that the campus is kept up about as well as the surrounding downtown area (in other words: not kept up very well at all), this does not feel like a welcoming and inclusive space. Faculty: Every professor I've taken at City College has fallen into one of two categories. Either they use the class to espouse their personal beliefs (often on topics not related to the class), or they just don't care about their students' success at all. On one occasion, both. Teachers who brag about their fail rate on the first day of classes, smugly saying that they expect 70% of the class to drop by the end of the semester, need to reassess their teaching styles. 70% of your students should NOT be dropping or failing your class. Administration: If you have any problems with a teacher, you'd be better off just dropping and taking the "W" on your record and retaking the class at Mesa or Miramar. Attempting to get an appointment with a counselor is next to impossible, unless you have all day to wait around for a possible drop-in. If you try to reach out to deans or department heads, expect to wait a long time before you hear back--if you ever do. No one at that school cares about student success or well-being. If you need to register with a service like VA, EOPS, or DSPS, you basically need to go to campus and force them to schedule you, because they won't respond to calls or emails. Disabled Students: The campus is a network of hills, with very few elevators. It was clearly not designed with disabled students in mind. Unless you're in an electric wheelchair, it's nearly impossible to get around quickly. As I said above, attempting to register with DSPS is fruitless unless you physically go in to schedule. Campus Layout: The campus is a labyrinth built into a mountain. The buildings are laid out in a toggled grid pattern and labeled with letters that sometimes correspond to the subject(s) being taught in those buildings ("MS" being "Math and Social Sciences" and "S" being "Science"), but also sometimes not ("D" being the campus store and "L" being the "Academic Success Center"). The buildings aren't laid out in any sort of alphabetical order ("A" building is on the opposite corner of the school from "AH" and "B" buildings), so it's next to impossible to figure out where you need to go unless you have the campus map in front of you. The Library (what they call the "Learning Resource Center") is located at the far front corner of the campus, as far from classroom buildings as you can get, which makes it extra difficult to study between classes, and there are limited study spaces inside the classroom buildings. You either need to schedule your classes with no time between, or an hour or more between, or get comfortable with studying while sitting on the floor or outside. Programs: Since City is part of the same District as Mesa and Miramar, they have a lot of the same classes. So even if your specific certification/degree isn't offered through Mesa or Miramar, you can still take your classes there and get your degree through City College. The major exception are vocational programs, like Cosmetology or the AIRE program. If those are the directions you want to go, you'll either need to tough it out at City or look into alternatives (private institutions, Palomar, Grossmont, etc). Overall, San Diego City College is just a mess of a school. It's worth the extra hour or so to commute to Mesa or Miramar instead. Both of those campuses, while not without some administrative flaws, are much better, safer, and just generally care more about their students.

What else can I ask for?

This is kind of a nerdy 200th review, but deal with it, I'm nerdy :)…read more If you work at UCSD and are partaking in science research, then you should be familiar with the Core. If you do participate in science research and you DON'T know what the Core is, then you are REALLY missing out!! Lucky for you, you are reading my review and you get to read about how wonderful the Core Is :) So as a research associate, there are several reagents/materials that I need to use on a daily basis, from several different companies. It's such a pain in the butt to make several orders from a variety of different companies. Then you have to pay a crap load for shipping AND you have to wait forever to get your stuff. This is where the Core saves your life. The Core stocks several reagents from different companies. Everything from media to growth supplements to gels to sample buffer. Lots and lots of stuff. Not only is it super easy to place an order online, but they usually deliver your stuff the same day as long as it is in stock aND you don't have to pay for shipping/a delivery fee! You can also pick up your stuff if you are in a hurry. If it isn't in stock, it may take a longer, but I've never had to wait longer than a week to receive things. Another thing I love about the Core is that they have a cell storage service. I suppose liquid N2 tanks are kind of expensive, so they have a bunch down there and for a fee, you can store as much ish in the N2 tanks down there as you want. What I like MOST about the Core is their service. Everyone down there is so friendly and I've never had a negative experience in the 3 months that I've been a customer of the Core. Overall, the Core rocks. It makes my job a lot easier, which is really nice. And if you manage to get off your butt and walk down there, they always have a box full of candy. Last week, I got a lemonade dum dum :)
