Samantha - 02/09/2025

I have been going to AVC for four years now and am currently on my last semester. Of course each professor is different and they all have their own teaching styles, also considering that some classes can be taken fully online, through zoom, or in person. Although, I can’t say I’ve ever had a bad experience with a professor. The campus is fairly small but it is easy to find your way around. I feel relatively safe also knowing that there is a sheriffs station on campus. AVC also has a really good nursing program that allows students to start working as soon as they graduate!

Michelle - 12/06/2024

I am currently a student at SOAR High, attending AVC and I can say that my time in this college has been pretty good. I feel safe walking around campus and the students there are very friendly and approachable. I have a good number of options for food and snacks, and I can buy them from the student store, the cafeteria, and the subway located in one of the buildings on campus. The instructors I’ve had for the past 2 years have all been very supportive, understanding, and teaching well. I've not experienced any issues with workload or stress from my instructors. Additionally, my counselor provides support and recommends classes that help me earn all my credits while ensuring I don’t feel pressured or overwhelmed. I like the many places where students can study, each with a different environment which allows students to pick the one that benefits them the most, to get the best out of their studies. The library has a good amount of books and resources I can use for most of my classes, which are very useful when I am doing assignments and seeking resources I can use, not only that but they also have interesting books that you can check out just to entertain yourself. One last thing I would like to mention about my college is the parking spaces and locations. There is a great amount of parking not just in one spot, but in different locations around campus, making it easier and more convenient for students to find a parking spot closest to their classes. In conclusion, my time at AVC has been very positive. The friendly students and supportive teachers create a great community. With plenty of study spaces and easy parking, it’s convenient for everyone. Overall, AVC makes my college experience enjoyable and helps me succeed.

Harris - 12/04/2024

I am a dual enrollment student, and I have talked to many other students in the college, everyone is very inclusive, including professors, and age does not factor in. I haven't seen or heard any issues about drugs. AVC isn't much of a party school. I am studying at AVC for transfer credits, and if you would like transfer credits, this community college would be great for you. However, there isn't housing on campus, since it is a smaller college, but there are many available apartments nearby. I see this as a positive point since there is not much of a crowd on campus, since students only are on campus for classes. If you want a stress free and calm environment it is perfect for you. I have taken afternoon and night classes, and I have always felt safe no matter when I am on campus. On the academic side, professors are incredibly knowledgeable, and they teach in a way where every student can understand them. They all have incredible talent. Also, since the college is smaller, classes are smaller, and you can really get to know your professor on a personal level, and they will get to know you as well. Overall, AVC is a great community college for transfer credits or for an associate's degree, and I would recommend it to anyone in a heart beat.

Melissa - 12/03/2024

As a current Antelope Valley College student I can say I feel very welcome on my campus. The community is open to so many diverse groups and all have their own clubs that invite others to join. I am always coming across people who advertise their clubs to me and they do it in such a friendly way. The professors in my experience are also very friendly people who continuously show they want the best for their students. My current Political Science 101 professor constantly proves that his main goal is to prepare his students for success and because of this, he is a teacher I will never forget. These are the best type of inspirations and I am proud to say AVC has many professors just like him, pushing their students to be the best they possibly can, preparing them to transfer to universities or to step directly into the workforce, depending on your goals. Other resources that students rely on are our student services like tutoring and counseling which have been incredibly helpful. AVC might not be as big and vibrant as other colleges but it still provides it students with the opportunities and resources needed for our future.

  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.

    I would say that the worst thing about my school would have to be the lack of accommodation.

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.
