I was referred here by a close friend who is studying at the school for dentistry. The entire experience was great! From the moment I walked in, everybody had a smiling, friendly face. The initial examination was quick and thorough. The pricing is fantastic, and the instructors that guide the students are very knowledgeable and helpful. Everything is very professional and clean. It is a very nice building, and you can tell they have all the best and newest equipment on hand. Even the ceiling tiles are fun while you’re laying in the chair, as they have animal prints engraved in them and other fun things going on! I highly recommend checking it out. It will help a student that is studying dentistry, and you will be given fantastic here at a fantastic price!

We were here for a graduation program at the Wildstein Center. The staff were great and worked well together to get people inside and seated. The program was wonderful, and you could tell that the students loved their college president. The program was wonderful, and the center was clean and beautiful. There was plenty of parking and wheelchair accessible entrances.

I have to say that the campus itself looks very well maintained and is enormous. I visited this location for training that deals with my current career. As a individual who has never visited this campus before I think my biggest and only complaint is that there is not enough signage to tell you where to go. Which is really annoying since I never been there before. My instructors were amazing and exceptional in what they do (kept it real) and had really good stories that made class go by pretty fast. Personally just a little too big for me but I hate crowds so ehh could just be my inverted mentality telling me to run.

The worst of the worst! If it wasn’t for the low tuition cost I don’t see how anyone in their right mind would want to voluntarily resort to attend this college. SFSC is truly a nightmare dressed like a daydream. The constant issue being their unfriendly, rude, and incompetent staff. Not everyone is meant to interact with the public, some workers are just meant to work behind closed doors due to their unwelcoming approach towards students. As a student you have to go through many hoops to get anything accomplished making the college experience far more complicated than necessary.

The bookstore manager is beyond incompetent, and the financial aid department gets absolutely nothing done right. I’ve had issues for 3 semesters now, and I highly recommend not attending this school. The feds are about to be involved in the mishandling of grant money, and neglecting student needs.

Good god, just let us use our email in an outlook application. We already have the other o365 tools. Having to access emails through the site is inefficient and we aren't notified of an incoming email unless we're actively checking. Also, the school's application no longer works. I'm not the only one. Read the reviews. Please use the "technology fees and other silly fees that we pay for something useful or please provide a refund. Reply: the pulse app is terrible and still does not notify of incoming emails. It doesn't display well at all. Please just use the technology fee we pay for, for some email licenses in o365.

I went to the dental clinic and for some reason they were playing super Christian music. As far as I am aware this is not a Christian college and in turn I had to sit there for an hour and a half getting my teeth cleaned feeling uncomfortable. I highly doubt everyone at the school is Christian so I’m sure whoever is making this music choice is making many patients and others uncomfortable.

Great place for students to learn new skills and earn degrees for one of their multiple degree programs, including a few bachelor degree options.

SFSC Performiing Arts program is world Class, State of the Art theatre updated in 2010. Between Dec-April they have national productions close to Las Vegas level. Rates are resonable and plenty of free parking.
