When Choosing Your Summer Classes, Classes, Housing

Something to consider when your planning out your semester, whether it's summer or fall, is how many classes you would be comfortable taking. It's also a good idea to go to a counselor and discuss a student plan to go by. I think it's great to also add some fun classes in your schedule just so your not always stressing.

At SBCC the most credits a student can take over the summer is 9, while the regular semesters are 18. If your looking to take online classes make sure you always check your pipeline regularly. These types of classes are great to choose if your into being self-taught and are online all the time. Of course there are classes on campus during the summer. The weather is beautiful, its perfect enough to have picnics at the beach during breaks.

For future students, I recommend you explore the SBCC website (www.sbcc.edu) and see what our school has to offer. For example, housing! There's actually a housing list on our school website. Check it out and find a place that suits your needs. Some of these houses are a few miles away from the school. Good idea we have a great transportation system here... to be continued.

I've recently applied for housing at Channel Islands and I requested my sister as a roommate haha I also applied for housing at Cal Poly Pomona. Decisions. Decisions.

SBCC Summer School Photo Shoot

Today was a beautiful day to help our lovely graphic designer, Melanie Belanger (SBCC marketing department) shoot her picture for the SBCC Summer school brochure. I decided to recruit basically half of my acting class. Okay that's a bit exaggerated, but I did asked some of acting classmates to meet me at our shooting location in the afternoon and they listened to me! And let me tell you, they sure didn't know what they were getting themselves into. 

( Photo Credit: http://www.sbcc.edu/) This is not the picture that we took, but this is where it took place:)

We all met at the fountain (on the West Campus) and were quite a diverse group. Melanie's vision of this brochure could be summed up in one word "Sunshine." Some of us were on the grass, others had their feet in the fountain water, and some of us were sitting down on fountain. She took a few shots until we were done. I can not wait to see the finish product. I'll be the one in bright blue listening to my new friend playing guitar. He and I were not music compatible. I was trying to get him to play a song I knew, but I didn't know what bands he liked he didn't know my bands, it was a hot mess. His friend joked after the shoot, that we were basically set up on a really bad blind date. Hahaha! 

It was awesome to see everyone interact and talk to each other outside of our acting class. I'm glad they enjoy themselves.


Well thanks to all who made this possible and hopefully the brochure comes out soon...
