"Has anyone experienced the wedding ghost couples? They come out around 11pm or after. This happened over 15 years ago when I first experienced it, which I didn't know until one of my friends told me and I thought he was joking. So one night on an April a Cambodian New Year party evening that was held at the campus. A friend asked me to go get something from the car at the parking lot. So I did and had that feeling something wasn't feeling right, as soon as I walked back and had a feeling something was following me, I looked back and saw a couple wearing a wedding dress and the groomsmen were wearing a tuxedo. So I figured out later that the couple had died for some reason. And has been haunting that area since."

"Area around the campus isn't fantastic, but the campus itself is gorgeous and I've enjoyed all of my classes in my 4 semesters there. Some of them are actually too easy. Lots of summer and online calsses and other resources to help you succeed. My biggest complaint though, like others have mentioned, is that the counseling department is pretty unreliable. They've given me good/correct advice maybe 50% of the time. Do your own research before going to see them and even get a second opinion from another counselor. If I had listened to one of the counselors there I would've ended up staying a whole extra year. Also parking can be a bear, but on the plus they never enforce their parking permits."

"I attended here from 1991-1998 and earned my first AA. SBVC was a great start to my academic career. Now, there has been declining enrollment, not unaffected by the Pandemic. While professors remain the bright spot, it appears that student services, in general, leaves much to be desired. Unfortunately, there exists much unnecessary 'red tape' in getting expedited services. Policies are stuck in the 1990s. Counselors are NEVER available. 30 years ago, there were always 2 counselors working nights who would see students until 7pm on a walk-in basis. What the hell happened? Beautiful campus with new buildings; but this place is a shell of itself. It gives the impression that this school does not care about students. So disappointing."

"I applied and was planning on transferring and attending school here for the fall semester, I couldn’t go to the counseling department in person. However, I emailed them several times attempting to get a response and I was unsuccessful in reaching anyone in the counseling department each time. I’ll be attending another college because of this it seems like no one bothers responding to emails."

"I went to this school to take science classes. The campus itself had beautiful vegetation and a beautiful pond. The library was very helpful during midterms & final exams. The success center has hard working passionate staff to help students with tutoring. There's a nice looking gym I never went inside to but it looks nice from the outside. Their cafeteria food is really good, especially breakfast burrito. Parking is not free but not expensive either. Also really good restaurants around the school."
