Northern Virginia Community college is really big college, in fact it is the second biggest community college in the nation! It has many campuses in areas including Woodbridge, Manassas, Alexandria, Annandale, and Loudon county. The one thing I hear student complain the most about is the lack friendships developed at the college. It really lacks the community aspect, so if your looking to make friends you will probably have to initiate that. The greatest advangtage of going to this school is that it is rated very well making the process of getting accepted into a college or university more likely. Getting good grades also helps in getting accepted into the university of your choice. This can be relatively easy to attain with a little research on professor and some diligence.

The best thing about this school is that is had a little of everything. Its set in a city that has many influences from various cultures. If I could change something, I'd be that there were more activities to unify students as a group. For example, we don't have a school mascot and we need school spirit! My school is just right, they just finished construction on a new building and it looks great! When I tell people I go to NOVA they usually respond "Oh yeah? Me too!" I spend most of my time at the cafe NOVA. The schools administration does its best to help the students out (because there are lot of them!) Like I mentioned earlier, no school pride or very lacking. I'll always remember the mandatory gym class. Oh lordy.

The best thing about this school is the tuition that is a lot cheaper than other universities, and this school offers lots of different major courses.(It's the second largest community college in America). Several campuses are located around this Northern Virginia region, so you can go to any campus where it is closed to your home. Annandale campus is the largest and i go to that campus But if you compare it with other universities like George mason, the campus is relatively small. I usually spend most of my time on campus at library, but there are other good places like a game room, cafe, or benches around beautiful trees.

As a whole, NOVA is in my eyes, the best community college. Besides the fact that it is less expensive than four year colleges, the professors make it even better. They are very helpful and give you the best lessons into preparing you for the rest of your college career. NOVA offers many opportunities to find a job and also gain experience on deciding what your future is after you graduate. I also love the fact that NOVA has so many opportunities for community service and sports teams to help give the total package of a four year college.

The whole campus is just one big building with four floors. People think if you going to nova then you might be a dumb person but they dont know you get the same education going to an university. I spend most of my time at the computer lab.

There should be a gym at the MEC campus. No complaints about the MEC faculty but other campus needs to have staff that is much more informed and on the same page

so much cheaper than other universities. Small classrooms are great! Easy transfer to any university. Great teachers who care for the students!
