Love this school, most of the teachers actually enjoy teaching and wants to make a difference. Community college is usually a commuter school but this school give you a sense of community and a place you feel proud to be at. The only down side is the admin office has a couple of staff that just cant be bothered, not a good look for the school.

Most unorganized officiating on this campus. Many mistakes are made
Overall 1.1
This place is awful. Everyone is so anti social, so hard to make friends, and virtually impossible to make new friends because everyone is so cliquey. Not fun at all. The food is terrible and greasy and just plain terrible.
Overall 1.2
This college waste my 3 years of life over general Education. The counselor takes you to the long route. This college is the worst college in California. No opportunities. No safety. Staff and teachers don't help at all instead they get rude. please do not go to Chabot if you care about your career. Wish you luck.
Overall 1.3
Awful school, lazy rude teachers, unfriendly staff, not a social environment.
Overall 1.3
I joined a program (EOPS) & they ended up giving out everyone's information. Name, email, GPA, units, w#, phone #, ADDRESS & financial aid was sent out to 447 other people on an email attachment. Happened not once but TWICE on different days! All school said was sorry & you can change pin #. NO HELP and EOPS NEVER SAID SORRY! Lazy & does NOT care!

this school needs to stop hiring young kids/adults w/o a DEGREE in a COLLEGE campus that have no idea what they are doing...
Overall 1.5
Go to Ohlone for quality staff who actually care for your futures. The staff that schedule couseling are unprofessional. I'm surprised a college would even pay money for them. No appointments so I was told to come back everyday to check as if I don't have classes to go to. They act bored if you ask them a question and just start doing other things.
Overall 1.7
The counselors at Chabot suck, theyre legit like early 20s type of kids... I say kids because they aint even grown ass adults. They act childish. They have no idea what they are doing, they need better staff the one lady in the front desk at the counseling center is a .... nvm good luck trying to get any type of information from there .

Just your average community college, nothing special at all. I am shocked at the opportunities that they offer that no one takes up, study-rooms, tutors, etc. However, the staff of the school are some of the most rude and unhelpful people I've ever met. Also their online system of adding and removing classes is also incredibly flawed.
