I'm going to give the most honest review yet. If you are a hardworking individual with goals to save money for the future housing and start a career in a field of your choice while being able to eat for free and sleep on a bed for free then shriver job corps is the place for you. Please be warned that most of their rules suck including the one where they make you quit your job if you receive a write up or negative they call it.
I have been at SJCC for over 6 months now. I was sent on med leave to acquire antidepressants from a hospitalisation, and was refused to be accepted back. Instead, they sent me over to my old hometown, where I have been homeless to this day, struggling for food, and warmth. While I was attending classes, the staff were unacceptably rude, and unreasonable when it came down to what they wanted to happen(extending the rules, lying, etc.). The food was decent, except ot took its toll on my bowels, although the limited number of cooks making over ~300 servings makes it easy to look over. All in all, time spent there was okay, but when it came to personal problems, they sent me on the streets, and are going to see it from the Department of Labor.
This is the worst place you could ever want to attend. The staff are rude and don't even respect us, the management has ran this place in to the ground, it used to be a nice place but alternative perspectives inc ruined it. Don't come here if you care about yourself at all.
