Shasta College

Great school, great teachers. I was a miscreant as a teenager and very much opposed the institution of education, but Shasta, their staff, and their teachers, have helped me fall in love with being a student over the two years I've been attending and completing prerequisites for the dental hygiene program. I wish I could get paid to be a student forever. Keep it up Shasta! Also the library is coming along beautifully and I love all the new landscaping upgrades that have recently been implemented. The on-campus Starbucks and the online ordering for said Starbucks, as well as online ordering of yummy cafeteria food is a huge bonus, too. The leaening resources and attitudes of all, make Shasta extremely conducive to learning. I believe this place runs like a well-oiled machine, and is a beautiful and stimulating environment!

My brother in law attends Shasta, and they treat him great. Really helpful with a fantastic support team. Believe they perform a vital role in Shasta County on a variety of levels. Good for them.

Trying to access my account has become virtually impossible. It has been a couple years since I took a class, so I needed wanted to take a class to re-certify. The problem is that to log in I need to know how they set up an email for me to use that email name to provide to make access to retrieve my account. Shasta College has made it so impossible to access my account. I don’t know why or how they’re still in business.

Shasta College in Redding, CA. This community college offers a variety of opportunities to students from all backgrounds, from affordable programs to a place to live while you get your education, my favorite walk around place is the farm and I found this incredible most beautiful chicks 🐥 and unique.

I love shasta Lemoine Waite is an amazing teacher and does a great job heading the horticulture department.

I went here to get my heavy equipment cert. The instructors are good. The head instructor was really good, he made sure that I understood the operation and showed me how to be better at operation.

We were on campus for a performance in the little theater - Sound of Music. The first half was magnificent - wonderful performers and musicians followed with a short intermission and a long area wide power outage! So long that the performance was delayed indefinitely for the night. Not the norm for Shasta College. Power pole was sheared off!

Pretty decent college at a great price especially if you’re from California then you get the first two years for free. Like any institution they have good and bad teachers but overall I had a good experience

Awful place to work with weak leadership!!! lack of leadership and support! administrators will set you up for failure without a doubt. they will backstab you 1 million times and look at you in the eye and act like they support you, they will tell you " you're my best hire" .everyone is beyond two-faced, people will literally claw your eyes out to look better and look superior. You can literally not trust a single soul. You cannot confined in anyone, you literally have to keep to yourself, but the weird thing is they will try to befriend you, so you're on their side, the most unprofessional dysfunctional moment I had working there was when two staff members involved me in their ongoing hatred and drama towards the supervisor on campus.. It is like working in Hunger Games, no one makes it out alive unless you are willing to throw everybody under the bus, if you disrupt their "business as usual ". I was coerced into voting for a union president, that at that moment, I didn't know, nor did I trust, but I repeatedly heard him call people horrible names and talk horrible about people in staff that he represents. Calling people, stupid calling people idiots calling people incompetent calling people ugly, sad to see that a union for California community college put somebody so incompetent in charge to represent classified staff members! Beyond unprofessional!! I really think that these people just feel like this is their endgame and they don't want anybody disrupting their business as usual, as I mentioned! During my first few months, I was mocked about having a masters degree I was made fun of due to saying something silly or whatever, I felt completely bullied and disrespected the whole six months I was there! I even mentioned it to the dean of the campus and he absolutely did nothing about it. Nothing! All I wanted was to go to work in a healthy working environment that everybody deserves! These people on this particular campus are extremely manipulative and two-faced! I was shown that one of the girls records, the administrator, ( project coordinator) and notes and dates every single thing she does and watches her every move, did I forget to say they have a code name for the Project Coordinator, ONION! The drama and shit talking the Union President and the office assistant is odd, and if you don't drink the kool-Aid, then you're not apart of their " club" so to speak!! Weird!! To me it was over the top and crazy Ludacris if they actually had any decency or honor they would've taken this to HR way before me but it's like their drama they wanna live in. It's like their swimming pool of fun!!! WEIRD!! Not normal where I come from!! I was told multiple times that I was supported and I never was. It was all a lie. The most toxic work environment I have ever endured in my professional life. supervisors do not want to hear if there's any problematic situations, even if they are very toxic and unhealthy. There is no such thing of conflict resolution , you have a project coordinator that literally doesn't want to involve herself in any type of conflict that makes her uncomfortable lack of leadership is the best word I could describe when describing the project coordinator ! People will act like they're your friends and they support you but they don't. They are stabbing you in the back With a massive Butcher knive!! Worst mistake I've ever made by taking a job at the extended Ed campus in Red Bluff!!! Sad to see that an educational institution allows such drama, and toxic work environment. sad to see how rude and cruel instructors are treated. But it doesn't surprise me why there is such high turnover with instructors at the red Bluff campus. I know I mentioned it above, horrible ,horrible leadership, no support you are sinking on a big ship alone . if you are the type of person that sticks up for themselves , advocates for for a supportive, healthy working environment, this place is not for you and I mean that at all levels, if you're a temp ,sub, student worker, instructor, they do not care about you. they will use you, mentally abuse you and throw you out just as fast as they got you in! But they will act like they're your friend the whole entire time!!! Horrible experience they gave me a favor by letting me go. I just can't believe I stuck it out as long as I did. The time I was there was painful and mentally draining. The only good thing that I enjoyed was being student centered, I got to help and support so many students, that is literally the only thing that kept me from not turning around and running as far as I could from that place! Hopefully this review helps you make a choice, a person with a brain and critical thinking skills, will notice the toxicity and Red Flags, unethical practices, right away!!!

Their phone system is a complete joke. You go through several different menus, only to be put on hold and hung up on. I've called countless times over the months and have been unable to reach anyone. They drop you from classes without reason, and the admissions office staff always have horrible attitudes. I'd love to talk about my experience as a student here, but they are so disorganized and unhelpful that I'm not able to attend this college.

I love this place. The campus is wonderful. It has the only Redwood trees east of the coast, and it's a nice little park like grove with picnic tables to chill in the shade. They just recently spent however many thousands of dollars on outdoor solar panel charging stations (where students can charge devices), but I still havn't seen one kid using them because there is no shade structure to utilize, lol, which I understand because of the solar panels, but come on, an average day here is hot. There's only a few tables and a few benches outside, otherwise, people literally sit on the floor of hallways. Ok, caught me, I am here to gripe, so here goes. First of all, why start school in Mid-August? College of the Redwoods doesn't start back until the 29th! But Shasta College makes it's students come in the middle of the hottest month of the summer (15th), in one of the hottest places in the country? Aren't you people supposed to be educated? Secondly, as I led up to previously, instead of pointless things that noone uses, spend money on things people actually will use, like shade structures on campus for one. There are only two such structres, and they are both designated as smoking areas (that nonsmoking students avoid like the plague). So smokers have a cool place to hang out, but non smokers have basically nothing. Noone even uses the outdoor auditorium because there is no shade of any kind, and delapidaded buildings (the old ticket store?) now fester mold and rodents. Tear down the old buildings if they're not being used. Put up some new stuff. Pretty basic. Also, for God sake, spend some money on revamping the rooms a bit. The lecture hall in the 800 building is the room where important confrences and meetings are held, and the light socket on the front wall has wires sticking out and the broken cover on the floor, explosing a hole in the wall. It has been that way for years, and would literally cost less than a dollar to fix. Instead, now everyone that comes to attend an event at SC sees this, not to mention the students that actually pay to be here. Little things. Another idea, stucco over the awful brown rock siding on all the exterior buildings. It wouldn't cost a lot, and the white buildings would look modern and more aptly suited to environment than the brown boxes that still look like the 1950's. And why does campus outside seem like a ghost town? I am literally expecting to see a tumble-weed blowing by. Bring back the pond instead of a stagnant concrete hole in the middle of campus. Bring back the waterfall. We have thousands of millions of gallons of water less than ten miles of way, and our campus deserves to have a few thousand of it for beautification purposes. They allow every other business in town water to water their lawns and bushes, so why are we are not even allowed to keep our public gardens going?! Green it up!!! Ok SC, so I know I'm harshing your mellow right now, and I do apologize for that. As I said before I really love this place, and really want to see it become as good as it can be, and this is sort of my parting letter as a graduate who has spent hours on campus and loved every minute of it. p.s. the speedbumps are unnecessary

Mixed feelings about this college. I found only a few good teachers there. The campus was actually designed well and easy to get around. Some of the instructors were pretty tough for a community college standard. This college was good for getting undergraduate courses out of the way. The music department put on good performances. The Library was decent, but a little outdated. Sports programs were decent. It was fun to watch football games, and there was a nice track to run on. Trips to Patrick's Point were fun.

No one has reviewed good ol' Shasta College? Aww.. Shasta College has a special place in my heart. I took like 100 units (most for fun) there pre-transfer, met many awesome teachers, worked 5 different campus part-time jobs, was in a summer production at one point, and served as ASB president in the mid-90s. For being in Redding, which was then ---much more than now--the awful middle of nowhere for a restless teenager, Shasta College offers a lot a good, dirt-cheap ways to be productive and prepare for a better future, and have fun while doing it. If teachers made a point of putting together reader packets (like they do at 4-year institutions) instead of relying on expensive textbooks (some of which are the ones they wrote themselves...ugh), I'd grant an extra star.

Don't EVER use the wellness center for anything! Complete waste of time and a joke. They make it sound like it's a professional medical facility that gives service. Complete opposite of that.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the tutoring program free great awwwwwesome

Best community college. Teachers seem to actually care. Office staff is helpful too. Went to another community college because I moved and was sorely dissatisfied with the whole experience. If you live in this area, go to Shasta and get educated :)

Shasta college has many excellent professors. The quality of education is great. Shasta College graduates are highly sought out. I had several job offers before I even finished my program. I am a going back to do the ADN program. There are many opportunities at Shasta College and best yet they're economical for our family budget. If I could change one thing. I wished I would have known about the step up or bridge over programs for nursing. Start CNA-LVN-ADN instead of waiting on a two year waitlist to get into the ADN program. Doing the step up makes sense; that way you can work, in your field, while having any idle time between semesters or programs. They have lending libraries and free tutoring that helps $ave.

I have had a great experience at Shasta College! As with anything there will be pros and cons. While it is not perfect, I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to further their education. PROS: -Nearly all of the teachers are awesome. They are friendly, fair, understanding and helpful. They are constantly working to provide an excellent education and make improvements when needed. -Classes are relevant and aim to provide students with real world experience -Great services such as EOPS and tutoring. -Beautiful campus, well maintained. -Parking and traffic rarely a problem, except when many classes get out at the same time, then you may have to wait a while to get off campus. CONS: -Serious communication break down. for example counselors will tell you one thing and financial aid will tell you something else. -Daycare only takes children from high risk families, i.e. low income, recovering parents etc.
