Diablo Valley College - San Ramon Campus

Best community college in CA

Services and faculty are alright, but the location and existence of this campus is laughable. They built a senior citizen apartment complex of all things right next door; they practically share the same parking lot. The campus acts as a backfill for students of the Pleasant Hill campus, and it's definitely big enough, but you wouldn't know the two are actually part of the same college. With an abundance of the same old "Dougherty Valley foliage" and "flat pavement" architectural design, this campus is just plain ugly. But hey, FREE PARKING saved this review!! No less than 3 stars.

This might be more for DVC as a whole than this specific campus, but I'm pretty disappointed in my experience here. They took a month to return my phone call, the registration online was confusing (as is their entire website) and then in the end the San Ramon campus didn't offer any Chinese classes. Really wish I could've known that from their website before wasting so much time trying to enroll.

I got my Covid-19 vaccination here. It was a smooth and professional operation that practiced good social distancing.

Decent stop for Pokemon players. Two Poke stops and two gyms. The gyms are overwhelmed by high levels probably due to the proximity of multiple schools and apartment complexes.

Covid vaccination spot. Well run operation. The only challenge was not getting in the way of construction work.

Very convenient location to take college courses. There is ample, well lit parking within a short distance.
