First of all: HIRE MORE ENGLISH SPEAKING STAFF AND FACULTY! Else move the college to a fourth world country!

I really tried to get involved into the campus activities and social life at NOVA. Being friendly, polite and outgoing doesn't really help here, but oh being an ignorant fool totally does (if your main aim here is to just get whatever degree or credits and waste two years of your REAL life). The student activity center is a complete joke and all they care about is, well junk food and money.

Some professors (basic level biology class, I had to take them as my science electives) were pretty good, but the rest were complete airheads! They'd just read off slides and textbooks and give you super easy multiple choice questions , so it's easier for them to grade, and so that the majority of the students in class (who are between 30-40 years in age) just give them a good review online. (My economics teacher was nice though.)You have to really hate yourself to attend this school

This has got to be downright the worst university I have ever even HEARD of, let alone attended! NO ONE with a GPA of 2.5 and above deserves to go to NOVA! And if you're hoping to make a lot of friends; lol forget it (unless you work on campus, but most jobs are always taken due to severe cronyism at NOVA campuses )

Really stupid commuter students who don't study, don't socialize, don't contribute healthy to the environment/community, in any positive way; then there are pretentious teachers with the IQ of a shoebox and the worst administration ever. They are sooo slow and inefficient with their work (not to mention inconsiderate of other's problems) it's probably a crime paying them their salaries!It's just so impossible to stay happy here, especially if you don't know anyone form before. Again, don't do this to yourself, please go somewhere else, I bet anyone deserves better than this hellhole

Going to NOVA was downright the worst decision I have ever made! Seriously the place's a shithole! the students are ridiculously stupid, the professors don't know the first thing about teaching, the social life is a joke since people come here with friends or just come here juggling their working schedule-people are sorta nice in class and stuff, but the moment you leave the class everyone is an alien! It's impossible to make friends at NOVA, impossible to get anything more than a C+ education, and impossible to stay happy there.

Oh and the counselors should be moved to a safe circus near San Diego immediately, because their advices are outrageous! The ultimate solution to all problems is 'google it' , they even type in obvious things to show you how it's done incase you ever miss out the search bar.If all you already have a neat social life or part time job, and are looking for the complete opposite of a college experience-there's never been a better place for you than NOVA
