Cosumnes River College

I am leaving here feeing so incredibly discouraged and disrespected. I met with a counselor here today (she was kind and helpful); my counselor had to consult with with her supervisor over my situation (which is complicated) and that’s when I heard the counseling supervisor say things about me that caused me to leave in tears. I don’t know if she knew I was within ear shot… but that was totally Inappropriate. aren’t counselor (especially a counseling supervisor) supposed to advise you? help you? empathize with you?
side note– I called the counseling office to let them know I was running a few minutes behind as I was walking to the office. the front desk receptionist put me on hold. I was on hold my entire walk up to the office. when I got there he was talking to his friend… he put me on hold to talk with his friend?! what ?! this school is such a disappointment. I will never come here for help ever again.

I attended Cosumnes River College shortly after it opened. I eventually moved to Miami, Florida where I am now Mayor of the Town of Cutler Bay. I didn’t know what I wanted to do when I was 17 in my first semester at Cosumnes River College, but I had a great start there. My advice — Never give up!

Received my associates degree here back in December 2014. School is clean (not ghetto) and for the most part, safe. Professors are great (the ones I’ve had), and my overall experience from attending here was great.

Great college! I spent a few too many years here because I had no idea what I wanted to do after high school. The campus is 2^nd rate, but the professors are first class so depending on your personality this can be a good thing or a bad thing. Take government with Morales, once you pass his class you will have the confidence to pass any class, except math.
The library can get loud with chatty groups not studying, just tell the groups of talkies to stfu and be the hero the library needs.

Probably my least favorite campus out of all the Los rios colleges (and I’ve been to all four on/​off campuses). After my departure as an Aggie, crc was the first Los rios college I attended. So this place holds some memories. Comparing Davis to here would be a let down, but CRC serves its purpose. Professors are okay, but I would prefer SCC for science courses. After many years, they’ve built new buildings and made it more appealing but there’s still the older buildings that needs a makeover. I just used the bathroom in the arts building and there’s rust all over the sink.

Everyone in my family, including me, has taken classes here at one time or another throughout the years. It is a nice, mostly renovated, campus in a good location on the border of South Sacramento and Elk Grove. Lots of shopping nearby, a new parking garage and light rail. So, no excuse to not attend college. It’s a great start for those of us who are not sure what we want to do and don’t want to go into debt figuring it out. Teachers really want their students to succeed.

Another cool Los Rios campus, it’s a lot more open than AR, and has some pretty cool classes, but it’s a long way for me to drive to get there. Even when I am on the road at 3pm traffic sucks. But is was worth the drive to take the Screenwriting class.

This junior college offers such a varied option of degrees and certificates and the campus is large and clean. I went to a junior college and had a great experience. I would recommend this place to students looking for a great place to get a head-​start in their education.

I have nothing against the teachers here. The professors are some of the most wonderful people ever. They are passionate about what they do and I enjoyed taking classes here. But a few things really bother me at this school.
First is a few of the counselors. Some of them are good but some of them, I question if they know what they are doing. I came to them seeking for answers about transfer and courses, I left feeling like we were walking in circles. I got some help (good!) but I still had questions unanswered; he referred me to a different advisor. My next encounter with a different counselor left me feeling like I wasted my time. Well actually more like I was dumb for coming to ask for help in the first place. You’re a counselor, an advisor. You’re supposed to answer questions, assists your students with empathy and kindness, not talk down to them like they are stupid and like they taking away your time from your cell phone. Sorry CRC, this is where you fail.
Besides that, the food in the cafeteria isn’t all that great. There were some incidents that involved the campus police here. It’s not the safest of place due to these recent incidents. Parking prices has increased at the Los Rios campuses (boo). Overall, the three stars are obviously only for my professors.

In my quest to start a new career pathway I’ve been taking classes at the local community colleges for the last couple of semesters. I previously had been taking classes at Delta college in Stockton, but as I live closer to the Sacramento area, have decided to start classes at Consumnes. I had a little trepidation about attending a college I’m not familiar with but so far everything has gone smoothly. The campus itself has a nice quad area with benches, trees and a water fountain. Things seem a little more lax here but so far so good!

Yesterday on 8÷26÷2015, after arriving through the new RT light rail Blue line extension, I decided to heading down to Cosumnes River College; the second of the 4 Los Rios Community College. Since it’s established on September 1970, this college has all the basic and advance classes to start your predicted major career from Math, English, Science, Computer Science, Culinary Administration, etc.
As I entered CRC, the atmosphere is quite remarkable. The new Winn building is very clean and spacious which it’s home for carpenter career. Some of their buildings are remains older, yet it did redesigned to make it more contemporary. The library building is definitely my favorite spot to go. The library is also quite old, yet it has the best spacious room and materials, so you can sit anywhere to study including borrowing their library computer or books for researching. The décor in this library is kinda feels like the late 20^th Century contemporary business feel on it like you’re living or working at an older business building in New York City or London.
The people who worked at CRC has done a good job for maintaining the students well. The downside however is the counseling and the financial aid is totally busy just like Sacramento City College does. The wait timing to see it can be longer as usual, so it will takes about 30 — 45 minutes depending the environment of the peek of the new semester. Additionally, the line of the business department and adding or removing classes side are also busy too during the first week of the new semester. I haven’t got enrolled some classes at CRC since I’m a SCC student, so I’ll might planning to enroll some in the future.
The cafeteria is looking good after remodeling. The dining side is perfection. Another downfall at the cafeteria, the concept in this kitchen looked like similar to UC Davis Medical Center cafeteria to me. Everything is completely white in their walls which I’m hoping they need to paint a different color like tan in the future.
There’s a huge amount of parking spaces available, so you can park easier before the class starts, yet it gets busy during the first week of the semester and the finals too, so be prepare for the worst.
The sports inside CRC is outstanding! They have two soccer fields, one large baseball field, and a great American football stadium too which it looked remarkably amazing just like your high school’s football stadium.
In the end, Cosumnes River College is a good, average Los Rios community college where you can study and enjoy there, so you can prepare for your future major career. A well, worthy visit after I toured the whole campus. My rating: 3 ½ stars.

This campus I feel is the best of all Los Rios Campuses! I love the professors I have had so far and the campus is very nice looking. Only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the counselors can come off as being rude sometimes.

Nicely laid out campus that’s easy to navigate. There’s plenty of parking available with close easy access in the early morning. Once 10am comes the parking lots become crowded and you’ll have a farther walk to classes. Stays crowded the rest of the day.

I looked through all these positive reviews and there is no way I’m thinking of the same CRC… I can’t wrap my head around the possibility of some people being okay with the way this campus is ran. But I must be crazy.
After graduating high school in Elk Grove years ago everybody filtered into CRC. I was over the whole scene before it even began. I felt I’d taken everyone’s opinions into account about how it’s simply a post-​high-​school ghetto hangout with a lot of careless crime and dead-​end students. Sounded awful… so I drove 45 minutes a day each way to attend Folsom Lake College, after having excellent help from a counselor there. Fast forward a couple years: bills, having to work full time, I’d decided I needed to get back into school and it’s impractical to commute so far for the same classes right down the street. Maybe I’d misjudged CRC without giving it a chance. WRONG.
As stated before, the physical campus and building remodels are nice– and that’s it. The student demographic here is a joke, 7^th-​year seniors socializing in the quad with valley high students and parking patrol that cares more about your car being within the lines than they do about you walking alone at night as a female. I gave one class a chance some semesters back, which is when I realized even the staff here is rude and incompetent. I don’t entirely blame the instructors for their attitudes, as they deal with a real classy group… but you’re not forced to work here. Don’t be so evident in your dislike of your day to day. I don’t even have to comment on the atrocity that is the counseling office… if ever you get to speak with a live person, hope they speak English, and if you get in – don’t expect to stay longer than 10 minutes before feeling like an inconvenience and being told to «go online» or rushed out the door. I’ve been given so much false information and rude runaround from staff that forgets their paychecks rely on students giving them a reason to work there.
The Elk Grove Center is okay as it stands… that is only because there isn’t much faculty to interact with and no campus to hang around. Students do their job there. Hoping it doesn’t change.
Long story short (er): Do not waste your time if you can help it. I’ve sucked it up and returned to my commute to other Los Rios campuses and I don’t regret a single thing. If you value your education, don’t waste your time or money.

Took classes in other river colleges before coming to Cosumnes. Must say, a much better junior college than the others in Sacramento (maybe not Folsom RC) a new building «Winn Center» and parking structure are being constructed currently. Will be an even more awesome junior college when completed. Highly recommend for architectural students!

Started teaching here recently and really enjoy the students, staff, and atmosphere! Los Rios offers a great package for adjunct professors which helps bring in the good staff to teach their students!

Either I’ve been lucky this semester or since they’ve made some more entrance/​exits and their traffic hasn’t been as bad as before. Pay for your parking permits and classes online rather than waiting in line. The campus is pretty nice and small. I don’t see how anyone can get lost on this campus but it happens. There’s so many weird people here. Sometimes the high schoolers across the street like to walk over. The professors here are pretty good, some you should avoid. Use
but it won’t always be accurate since everyone has different learning styles. The financial aid office is a pain in the ass. Come early or be prepared to wait hours. BOG waiver also helps a ton too.

Been here for little over 3 years now and i have one more semester left! My overall experience here has been great. I have no complaints and the teachers here are cool if u are selective of them from
Parking got much easier after they finished building the parking structure and also if u know when the busy time is for class and when students leave from school, thats when you should be able to find great parking spaces.

Overall my experience here has been great, just be sure to use ratemyprof before choosing your classes and you should be good. My counselor has been super helpful every semester, the only issue at this campus (one at nearly every campus) is parking. During peak class times you do have to park a little far out, but hey America can lose a little weight so no harm done

I recently moved down to Elk grove and decided to begin going to college. I began looking for classes and found that there weren’t many options since the school is small, really small. It’s the size of a High School. Went down there to talk to admissions and to take my placement tests, ended up getting a ticket. Granted it was my mistake for not getting a permit but I honestly thought it wasn’t required since both machines I tried using both didn’t work and how there were almost not people at the school. My mistake so I won’t mark down the school for it, just be aware that the daily permit pass machines are garbage and that most of them are broken.
The environment is pretty crappy, to be honest. People here seem like they don’t give a shit, almost everyone there seemed like it was just some ghetto hang out spot.
Long story short I ended up biting the bullet and just registering for SCC, it’s a 10 mile drive each way, but from what I’ve seen it’ll be worth it.
