Coastline Community College

I have attended five community colleges, one university, and law school. This school was far and away the hardest to deal with while I attended classes online from them--and continues to not only be difficult to deal with--but extremely rude. Coastline's bookstore manager, Martha, is thee rudest and unprofessional employee I have ever encountered at any school I have attended. I ordered two textbooks to be sent to my friend located in another city--who's correct shipping address was inputted. I then input my billing address. Yet, somehow, this bookstore screwed it all up and got the shipping wrong--and they want to charge me for another $9.99 for S&H. What a joke. I attended a few online classes with Coastline years ago and frequently recommended them as a great online option for those wanting to further their education. Never again will anyone get such a recommendation from me. Seriously, you would be much better off going to a different school. One that appreciates their students.

This school takes money from veterans! They emphasize that they have classes tailored for veterans, however these "Tailored" Veteran courses are nothing more than a way for Coastline to use veteran benefits like the GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon to line their own pockets. I.E. I was reviewing my records and apparently I was qualified and enrolled into a BOG fee waiver (a waiver that waives course fees) however, With the GI Bill along with the Yellow Ribbon program, veterans are supposed to get their tuition paid for in full. So why do I even need a BOG fee waiver? Basically Coastline CC got money for my classes from the GI Bill, applied for the BOG fee waiver and kept the money the GI Bill paid for. So where did that money from the GI bill go, if the BOG fee waiver, waived all course fees? Again this school claims to be a military friendly school, and yet they screw over a retired disabled combat veteran. Now because of multiple clerical errors or intentional "errors" I now owe the VA a few thousand dollars. How is this possible? Taking money from those who have given everything is just plain wrong.
