Brianna - 11/27/2024

The campus of Antelope Valley College is not bad. The new buildings are really nice, though there is a lot of construction going on to make more. The professors at AVC, at least the ones I've had are pretty nice. Though some give a lot of work each week. Registering for classes is the worst. Ever since we switched to EduNav we have had so many problems during registration. We always have to wait a while to see if we got the classes that we registered for. The food at the Cafeteria is good, I like eating there. However, I hate that the prices keep increasing, though even then it is still cheaper than in other places. I like the resources there is and I love getting free stuff when they offer it.

Antelope Valley College is a bright community with interactive clubs following diverse interests, from academics to arts and culture. The college deeply values mental health, offering accessible counseling, wellness programs, and events to support student well-being and growth.

Caren - 11/23/2024

In my opinion, studying at Antelope Valley College has been a pleasant experience. The environment is quiet and calm, and the students are friendly. The staff is very helpful in places like The Hub and Student Services. I feel safe getting to my classes and walking around campus, as there is a police department in it. I know that if I were to get uncomfortable or feel danger, they could get there in just a few minutes. This has helped me feel relaxed and ready to attend. Most professors are reachable and provide office hours, as well as help out after class or through email if students were to have any questions. Overall, I feel happy to be at AVC and will continue my studies there until I get my Associate's degree.

Kiara - 11/22/2024

Antelope Valley College is an unassuming community college that serves as the heartbeat of the area. The school hosts community events and has educated a large portion of the residents in the Antelope Valley area. The college’s strengths undoubtedly lie in its passionate students and dedicated teachers. The institution helps so many by providing access to affordable education and making sure to provide students with resources to ensure that they are able to have all their basic needs met. However, the campus does unfortunately have some significant issues. Safety concerns, mainly related to drugs and violence, need to be addressed immediately. I personally do not feel comfortable walking around the campus after dark and even during the day I try to generally walk in a group. Additionally, many of the facilities are incredibly old and fall short of meeting the needs of students. Another point of frustration is the unavailability of some staff, particularly counselors, which makes it difficult to receive much needed academic support. While Antelope Valley College has much potential, these issues need to be addressed to make sure that the college can provide a better learning environment for all of its students.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I recently had the opportunity to talk to my younger sister about my experiences, good and bad, about college life, so I know exectly what I would say. I would say, "Holly, you can't do this alone! I know you are an independant person, and you love to problem solve and figure things out for yourself but college is just a little bit bigger than you. It takes a village to raise a child and it takes an entire school to graduate a successful student. And don't worry if all your parents can contribute to your college experience is a pat on the back. There are ways to pay as long a you have a dream. All the money in the world is worth nothing without that dream. Take it and run as fast as you can but please remember to slow down every now and again to enjoy what you are learning and the experiences that you are having. Maybe if you follow this advise, our children won't have to feel like they are doing it alone. One last thing, don't be afraid of that communication 101 class, it will be the best experience ever."

  3. Describe the students at your school.

    My class mates depend on what time of day I take class: in the early morning classes there are a lot of younger students who just graduated high school but think that they are still in that environment, and the evening classes are filled with working professionals who are very focused and driven to complete their degrees.

  5. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    I would say that the worst thing about my school would have to be the lack of accommodation. I enjoy my school, but it has one major downfall: It?s the unfortunate fact that my school never has enough room for all the students to get into the classes that they need. Even if you are a priority student there are many times when you cannot even receive a proper schedule. In the end it might take three years to earn your degree.

If I were to say what I am proud of at my school, I would definitely state how much money you save staying here rather than going straight to a four year university. Also, there are so many great teachers at this school that you can really connect with, as I have.
