Southwestern Oregon Community College — Local services in Coos Bay

Don't ever go to this college. I was 19 in 1986 and they were supposed to give me my diploma. In high school I only had 2 credits to go. I was in the high school program. The school forced me to take out a lone at the end of the term, which I didn't get the money a state carectional drug cancellor got the money. Then I was told I was too stooped to continue college, So they kicked me out. I had 24 credits that I can never use and no diploma I had to get my GED when I was 30. Everything this college did to me was illegal and Everything the people who have tryed to callect the money has been illegally done a lot of them told me over the phone how the way everythig happened was illegal. The lone was 1,400.00 now it is 10,000.00. I have paid the 1,400.00 back many times they even took my boyfriends taxes when we first got together. I have proff but they keep equnoring it. Even the people who work for the collection agency's have told me what to write and send to get the issue fixed and they have no problem ruining a life. The school and the collection agaseys have broken the law and. I'm going to have to send all my evadence to Grege Walden and pray he will halp me. If you people were smart don't go to this college don't believe a word they say. It ruined my life. The college and bank both forged my name to different papers and the school broke a lot of laws. I was never to take out a lone legally. I didn't have no diploma, no GED, They issued the loan at the end of the term which I here was illegal as well. Don't be Nivea like me I had dreams and those people robbed them. I'm too old...

This rec center has all the facilities to cover various different types of exercise. I mostly come for the great basketball court, but this is one of if not the best gym in Coos Bay/North Bend.

I wish they had a swimming facility or hot tubs available, but I understand why they don’t at the same time, as people can be gross.

Four star rating is because of the wonky hours. Over the last few years of going here, I’ve shown up during the afternoon dozens of times on a random summer day and they’re closed without a reason, and the hours are pretty much never updated on here. My knees won’t let me play out in the cold/on concrete anymore and there’s no other indoor basketball gyms available to the public, so I have been disappointed by that quite a bit.

Regardless, this place is great for the prices (I get their 30 punch card for $46, which I believe to be a great deal because sometimes I’ll go a week without showing up due to my schedule.) I recommend for sure.

EDIT: December 9th, why the hell is this place closed with no forewarning? So whack....

For the most part I enjoyed my time at the school. Beautiful campus and amazing instructors. The problem I have is with the Financial Aid and other support staff. I once watched them belittle a 4.0 student for attending school. They are completely disorganized and will lose paper work, and then charge you late fees when they fail to properly apply grants and aid. They are very rude to students who ask for help even going as far as tell students that the should drop-out. All-in-all if you are paying out of pocket and have several thousand a year to burn, its a great college. If you are use any sort of aid, be prepared for a nightmare and disrespect. All-in-all, I do not regret my choice of attending the school. The time I spend here was well worth the headache the Financial Aid...
