I have heard from my older sister who attended the college that it is a perfect 2 year college to attend. It is affordable and they offer plenty of 2 year programs. The commute is fairly pleasant and you can even attend classes asynchronously. I plan to go and pursue funeral service and embalming as my dream career and SAC is my first choice.

It's known for offering affordable, quality education with a wide range of academic programs, including associate degrees and certificates in fields like healthcare, business, and liberal arts.

Overall, my experience has been mediocre. Most of my professors have been apathetic and not very helpful at times while I’ve had other professors who were caring and kind. Some of my professors were rude, condescending and picked on their students. I was singled out by one professor and told in her own words that “I would never be a good enough writer.” The people here are sometimes kind while others seem apathetic and don’t care. The anatomy and physiology classes are impossible to pass and the professors are rarely available to help students for office hours and never show up for their students in the first place. It’s hard to make friends and most people aren’t very friendly or very apathetic and go in and out of the school. Mostly, I’m disappointed in the lack of help, understanding and empathizing I’ve gotton from this school. I’ve wasted a lot of time because I’ve not gotton the help I’ve needed in my science courses.

In my opinion, San Antonio College is an excellent undergraduate institution to begin at! They offer a variety of undergraduate programs for those interested in beginning a degree. Most teachers, in my experience, are nice and understanding. Some professors may be stern, but this is college! As long as students communicate, everything will be OK. Everything is available, from instructors' office hours to free food and clothing; there is always someone around the corner willing to help any student in need!

San Antonio College is a great place to pursue a higher education. It's a fantastic institution with a vibrant campus and a supportive community. It offers a wide range of programs and opportunities for students like me to thrive. Personally, I love how my high school and SAC give high schoolers a chance to earn an associate degree throughout my high school years. This is a great opportunity to be ahead for my future and have a college-student experience.

I believe that San Antonio College is one of the best community colleges in San Antonio maybe the state of Texas overall. Many clubs and services that is provided for students for example there is an adovocacy center this center provides free clothes, free food, and free case servies if students need help on paying some bills or going through something at home. The Adovcacy center has always stood out to me since I have entered the campus.

San Antonio College is an amazing school to get your education from, the teachers are always available for anything you need including tutoring and to discuss about personal reasons to help you through any hardships.

I enjoyed going to SAC. It's got a lot of good opportunities and interesting programs. Most of the professors and staff really try to help as much as they can. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but from my experience there's a lot of good in this school and it's a more chilled environment than a big university.

I really love this college because they had a lot of clubs and organizations, extracurricular activities, student support services, financial help, and tutoring, ... So, when a student needs something, they are ready to help that person immediately to make sure their education journey is successful.

San Antonio College has a lot to offer to students from all walks of life. It's affordability and plentiful of certificates and pre-majors makes it a great school for students who later want to transfer to a university and complete their bachelor's degrees. SAC also offers clubs and organizations that students can choose from as well as networking opportunities and resources for those in need.

I absolutely LOVE San Antonio College and all of Alamo Colleges. SAC has the most welcoming environment with professors that are down to Earth who truly want to see you succeed. The advisors are there to assist you along the way as much as possible! My advisor, Ms. Trisha, has been my saving grace in navigating me through all the processes, resources, and career moves I've had to make! There are TONS of resources for students like childcare, free food, events, financial aid, scholarships, peer tutoring, etc. When I'm on campus, everyone is so friendly and passionate about what they're in school for. It's such a nice community to be involved in, I'm so blessed to be apart of it!

I switched from St. Phillips, being remote isn't easy but SAC is definitely helpful and resourceful. I've had the pleasure of working with a couple of teachers so far and they are very nice and good at communicating. I wish campus was open so I could get some issues taken care of but being remote has its challenges.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Cautiously, I would face the timid liberal and begin; "Do not be idle young man, do not be frivolous, the work you have put in pales in comparison to what still must be done. Not simply regarding your studies, but your duties; as a citizen of the world. Your duties are to be learned; to be the accomplishment of a generation of immigrants. To be aware, to see on any side of this shrinking world that there is suffering. And to be active: this world is changed by timeless suffering, this world is far from perfect. Now the journey begins."
My classmates everyday you learn something new from my classmates. I learn about not only thier religion but their family background, the different thoughts due to political differences.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about the school, I am currently attending is finding parking. Its is getting harder to find parking spaces close to the building you have class by. The good thing about this is that it does encourage you to be early getting to class. You want to be early to get a great parking space and this causes you to be on time and early to your class. In other words, it is forced promptness and is effective to those who have a tardiness problem.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
I attend a community college. What makes my college unique compared to other schools, is the people, even tho my school is a community college, there are enough students to create diversity, and culture but small enough too not be intimidating for a high school graduates.
Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
I think my school is very well organized and helpful and offers a wide varity of courses thats make find what you need and the help you need all there within the campus.
The small classes and the professors are the best things. Since there are small classses, the professors really get to kow the students and try to help them in a very individual basis. Also, you get to know all your classmates and it is great to make study groups.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I would have loved to known about the college community here at San Antonio College. I believed that this was going to be a hard endeavor which would only be the beginning of the flood of college stress. However, I am entering my last semester here and that has still failed to happen. The transition from high school to college was made much easier by everyone at SAC, from the students to staff. I would love to have not had those worries, and now with heading to a new campus, I know that I am ready for anything.
Any person that is willing to learn, anyone willing to better and challenge themselves should attend this school. There is not one perfect mold for a San Antonio College student , each one is an individual. The only bind that ties us all together is that we all strive to better ourselves. This school will help anyone willing to help themselves. Here you learn that you have to give a little to get a little. A person not willing to work hard for their goal will most likely not make it here.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
Whay kind of person should not attend this school is someone who thinks their better than everyone else. Someone who is unfriendly and not serious or ready to begin their college career.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
Whenever I talk about San Antonio College I never fail to mention the character of our students. Both inside and outside the classroom, working class men and women of all ages and both sexes struggling to educate themselves. I consider it an honor to be in a class with ex-convicts, young mothers returning to school, and tradesmen who must adapt to survive. They have families to care for, dreams rekindled, and loved ones to succeed for. They contradict the Prestige, and defend the universal, everburning light of education. Changing the world with every underdog who enrolls.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The most fustrating thing about this college. Is the San Antionio Colleges website because everything is so electronic these days, the way that they have the webcite set up, is confusing. Like, if you are trying to summit classes that you would want to take that semester and also pay online and no one knows how to manipulate the webcite to work with you. Also the colleges website has it to where you can email your preffesors if something comes up. Well the problem with that is that professors do not awanser it.
My school is best know for the professors. The professors give upbeat and interesting lectures, and are always looking for the classes input to make sure they comprehend. The professors are always willing to chat with a student. Be it after class or in office hours, the helpful professor will always take time out to talk to the student about the given subject, college matters or life . The professors understand how stressful testing can be and is only interested in seeing whther or not the student grasped the fact presented to them.
