Wondering about college admissions?

Getting into college can be kind of confusing. Luckily, enrolling at SBCC is easy. Now when I say easy, I mean to enroll at community college you can come on campus, decide to come here and just do it. Unlike a four-year university, which requires a lot of preparation such as studying for and taking the SATs, writing personal essays and gather letters of recommendation etc. There are important resources for making your college decision. For a while I worked as an advisor at a middle school, helping students learn about college opportunities. These are a few websites that are helpful:

College Confidential
The Princeton Review
Students Review - Our school's review:

•  Excerpts: "This is one of the best schools, its hard to believe that it is a community college. I am an out of state student and was scared that it would be hard to meet people, but i was way off."
• "I love SBCC! The school is gorgeous; right next to the beach with beautiful flowers and tress surrounding the area. I had an excellent experience here. 
  

The TAP Program

This past week I did so many different interviews and put together so much footage, but one that really stands out is meeting with the T.A.P. program. They describe themselves on their site:

T.A.P. is a comprehensive support program designed to assist under-represented students who are planning to transfer to a four-year college or university. Our goal is to facilitate a smooth transition from SBCC to a four-year institution.

The reason T.A.P. really stands out to me is it is directed by Francisco Dorame, who is a very caring individual. The T.A.P. program comes together like a family, and Francisco helps support students who are often the first in their family to attend college. He's extremely informative, and easy to reach by email or by phone: (805)965-0581 x2691.

Stay tuned for the video of the TAP students!
