St. Philip's College

I couldn't leave this poor excuse for a school fast enough. Do NOT go to this school if you expect staff to care even a little bit for the students. The Records Supervisor was extremely rude and hateful when I was asking for a document to submit to a financial aid program for childcare. Refused to even write an email stating that enrollment verification wasn't available at a certain time because of census. Due to her refusal to help me and trying for 3 months to get in touch with someone from the records department (have called 5 different numbers from the directory and sent 3 emails) for enrollment verification issues, I lost around $1000 in financial aid for 2 months of childcare.

They were so very kind and helpful. Mrs. Cindy Robles and Mr. Ken were very diligent in helping me and went the extra mile to help me with my needs. I am very grateful. God bless them greatly in Jesus name. Amen.

Well organized campus. Staff was very helpful. A lot of options for classes. I am glad w chose this school for my son. I look forward to how he does on this portion of his college experience.

I took a class a this university. In order to get my money back they told me I had to apply with this bank. Even though I had my own bank account. The bank ended up charging me interest for having an account. I ended up having to pay $383 out of pocket in interest because of their error. This university preys on poor people. I am not poor and didn't need their bank account. But how unfortunate for people who are and have to pay the outlandish interest that the bank they require you to sign up with charges. Choose a real university that doesn't get kickbacks. I am so tired of seeing poor people get scammed.

Horrible communication. No matter how many messages and emails you send (because answering the phone is impossible), they don't reach out to you. I don't understand why. I've been leaving messages for the Advising department and emails to the Records department for 2 months and not a single reply. It's ridiculous. Plus, at least for my son's degree plan, the professors don't even want to be there most of the time judging by how many times classes are canceled or shortened.

We were returning school shirts from Amazon to the UPS location. Nice campus! Clean! Very fast and convenient experience!

Wow, at first glance you wouldn't think this campus is as large as it is. I noticed several learning centers, a huge Student Center, at least 7 modern buildings blended in with what appeared to be some historic buildings, and at least one gym. I suspect there is another but never found it. The campus extends, vertically, at least 3 blocks. There is a huge lawn right in the center for students. Very impressive small college.

My daughter will be second generation college student and begins classes on August 25! Yay

Admission process is trash. It was a struggle to get in for 2 years. I have 2 years of previous college education from a U.S. territory university and wanted to have it transferred over to apply for a program. The TSI step was what I wanted to bypass because I've taken Statistics and College English. I put in an online request for a TSI exemption since I've taken math and english before, and got no update. A month in a half ago, I try again to get into St Philips. Blanca Padilla said she'd hurry the process to get my math credit evaluated at the chair and told me that if it DOES transfer over, I still have to take a college algebra course because the program I wanted to try for was very specific on the math prereq being algebra. My goal was that it (at least) satisfies the TSI exemption criteria so I can get advising done and register for prereq classes I have yet to complete before enrolling into the program. I waited a whole month in a half. No call, no update. So I call myself. Only to find out something happened and I gotta wait for a second evaluation. So don't bother trying to enroll here if you have previous college credits to transfer over. It's a whole run-around and a headache. I'm better off going to CHCP or another institution that costs more but reaches my expectations on communication and education. Edit: The advisor said my math was rejected because the course description was not enough information to determine if the topics covered what their colleeg covers, so he requested a syllabus. I get ahold of my University's Dean to email me the syllabus and I forward it to the Advisor Luis Sevilla with the caption "pls put in a request to have it reviewed again using my syllabus as a reference." No response, not even an acknowledgment of the syllabus being received. I emailed Luis again for an update the next day. No response. 2 business days later, I ask again. No response. Its been a week and I've gotten no response whatsoever.

The admissions process is ridiculous. Someone will tell you one thing and another person will tell you something different. They don’t keep track of what you have completed so you’re constantly being told you have to do something you already did. Nobody knows any information unless it’s regarding the script they have to read!! The veterans affairs office also is notoriously hard to get into Contact with unless in person and even then the advisors don’t give a shit about you! Edit: I transferred out of the school but, that process is just as bad. Another EDIT: I CANT EVEN FULLY WITHDRAW FROM THIS PLACE!! I have called over 10 times about trying to be removed from their system so I can get financial aid and receive my official transcripts in another state. So I cannot even transfer to the school I want and start the semester for my degree plan. This place needs its processes changed.

Trying to get through a department for information is a nightmare! It seems they always have a "high call volume." They transfer you to one department after another just to get a message that no one is available and that "mailbox is full." Even the Operator option is unavailable. No one knows what they're doing. Extremely frustrating.

Was there for professional development. The facilities are beautiful and clean. The kitchen labs are filled with professional equipment and the chef instructors are very knowledgeable.

The pow wow organization was using the Saint Philip's gymnasium for an Indian Pow Wow it was a very nice venue. There were hundreds of guests and it was very nice dancing there because they put these rugs down on the floor of the gymnasium

Great school and great teachers. Thank you to the entire staff and others that make this place great.

Though there are some drawbacks to this school such as some buildings are unkept and some students rude, some teachers wierd, it is truly a wonderful experience to attend this college.

I've had problems from the very start, from Alamo colleges having 2 accounts/ banner id's that caused problems and delays in getting registered, to my first set of classes. Instructor had me on his roster twice,causing issues with my …

So proud to be enrolled in San Antonio's ONLY HBCU campus!!

Damn sucks to communicate with anyone here. Longest process for everything and I’m still having issues. UTSA was easier and even STC was easier to apply. No one really wants to speak to you and they talk over you after asking you questions, …

Great culinary and automotive programs!

Beautiful school but NO ONE EVER ANSWERS CALLS FOR ADVISING
