A lot of it has to do with the student body, when you enter into a community college you should expect a friendly social environmental. Well it's a community college where people go take classes and go immediately home what do you expect. Overall my experience here has been mediocre, there is no student body or social life to speak of here. As to professors, I used ratemyprofessor a lot to help find professors that taught well and help prepare me for future courses, etc. That helped tremendously without choosing the right professors, I could not see how people can graduate on time or do well because a lot professors are plain terrible, from reviews, and first hand experiences (1st semester when I didn't pay too much attention to what professors I had) In all I recommend you don't care about the social life, the resources are there, ratemyprofessor, and you can choose great professors at nvcc at a great price. Do well, transfer out, let it be a small stepping stone where you had to pay the price. Either you did not do well in high school, international student coming to United States (not really a price), or you couldn't afford a 4 year university. Don't worry about the social life, there are other ways to enjoy your time in Northern Virginia, nvcc is not a real college don't expect a vibrant social environment. The education is what matters, I believe NVCC provides great resources at your hand. All you gotta do is work hard and transfer out. Faculty Accessibility: B, Individual Value: F Have a Question?

I am doing NOVA as a dual enrollment student and the teachers here are treating me with much respect. I do not feel like they are dumbing me down too much. Well, that only goes for my Calculus class, my English class is a waste of time, but an easy A. They have quite a few teachers that a like that. When i say quite a few, i mean like many, but not all. Many of the teachers want you to understand their subject and they are very interested in helping you more. It is such a good economical move. You save sooo much money coming to this school. NO Room & Board, and all those extra fees. all you have to do is keep your GPA up so that you are able to transfer to a good university. When you finish at NOVA with a high GPA, it helps with gaining scholarships, applying to big named schools, and it makes you look good in the end as well. The guaranteed admissions agreement is also great, so just study hard and do your work because guess what this stuff goes on your transcript and this stuff also is what determines which school you go to. It is a very good move to transfer from NOVA. GO for it!! University Resource Use: A, Scholastic Success: F Have a Question?

First, many of the teachers also teach at George Mason or have taught at other 4 year colleges. Other teachers also have real world experience. NOVA is a good start when you're not sure what you want to major in.You can also knock a bunch of credits when you transfer out. I've taking classes at NOVA and 4 year university and there isn't much difference between the classes. Preparedness: -, Reputation: - Have a Question?
