I think this school is great and kind of has a peaceful atmosphere and I had no problem with the students on campus and the food there is okay.

I like how much it is coming up. Over the past few years there has been serious efforts to make it the powerhouse community college system it is.

It is a really good to school for taking online courses, this is the first time I have been able to do online classes successfully. In terms of the cost, it is fair and I consider it somewhat affordable compared to private art school cost per credit. Everyone who works for the college is super helpful, I've been given nothing but good advice so far.

This college is very convenient with having many campuses at various locations, for people to access. It is also very good with it's ELI courses and it's commitment to allowing people to take tests from home if needed. The professors there are very knowledgeable and good in their ways of teaching. They make it interesting which helps a person learn. There are also tutors on campus free of charge which is amazing. The bookstores are on site and always stocked with everything you could want or need for classes. They have cafes, and cafeterias for lunch times. The scenery is pleasant to look at with many places to sit and study on a nice spring day. Overall the only bad thing I would have to say about this college is the parking prices and the long walks to the different buildings from the parking lots, but hey what colleges doesn't have long walks? It's a great school!

An affordable school with great professors.

Overall, I think NVCC is a good institution for students to earn credits with less of a financial burden, transition to a 4-year University, and to grow. Many people, even students, don't seem to view NVCC as a "real school", because it is not a 4-year University and anyone can apply to register for classes; but I believe NVCC has good quality professors and resources for learning, and strives to create a well established learning environment for everyone. I have completed my education at a 4-year University and am now at NVCC to continue my education for an alternate path, and as I have made comparisons, I realized that I had to work sometimes harder for the classes I was taking at NVCC than I did for some of the courses I took at ODU. NVCC at the Annandale campus appears to feel a lot like a University campus. It is big, spread out, and really gives me the mature feeling; rather than feeling like it's a high-school.

My overall opinion is a good one. The classes are flexible - on campus or online. The classes offered are current and relevant to what is going on in the business world. There are school activities for those who want to become involved outside of classroom settings.

Overall, I will say that everybody on the campus whether it is counselor, librarian, teachers, or students were very co-operative and helpful. From many personal experiences I would like to share one. Last year I were applying for Dental Hygiene program. Counselor who was helping me, came one hour before his schedule time, on my request to help me in filling out my application. I can never forget his favor. Due to him only I were able to apply for the program last year. Similar kind of incidents happened with me with the librarian.

My overall opinion of Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) is opportunity. Given that this school is the second largest junior college in the national the reputation here is impeccable. Plus, the State of Virginia offers "Guaranteed Admission" to any Virginia community college student looking to transfer into a four year university as long as the student meets certain requirements. Requirements vary from school-to-school. We have 6 different campuses all within the Northern Virginia area, and also a variety of intramural sports.
