ASFC Smart Shop & Design Center

spring quarter started today, so i had to do the usual «first day of school/​beginning of quarter» business on campus, including a trip to the smart shop & design center to get my new spring quarter sticker for my owl card.
the smart shop is the place to come and get your «owl card» the little plastic card found in the wallets of most every foothill college student b/​c the «owl» is our mascot and the card serves as our form of student identification. the owl card entitles the holder to many benefits such as discounted movie tickets (purchased directly in this shop), baskin robbins’ ice cream, 10% off campus dining, and even free dental checkups on campus! you can also purchase certain course handouts here (as designated by your professor).
hours are during peak class hours (daytime classes) so the center is open when i need it to be. come early in the morning, around the time they open since this is when campus is quiet and you will not need to wait in line. avoid lunch time, since the lines are generally longer during this time.
some staff are friendly, some are not so friendly, just depends on who you get and what time of day you come. remember to come prepared for whatever your business here, else you may see the not-​so-​nice side of the staff.
tip: current foothill students, if you want your spring quarter sticker, make sure to bring a paper printout receipt of your registration fees, or show it on your smartphone, else, no sticker for you! i learned the hard way, so i will be coming back for the much coveted sticker!
