I think Catawba Valley Community College is a good college. It definitely feels like a community college without the housing. The teachers are great and all the advisors are very helpful. This college has great discipline financially. CVCC makes there students more responsible with their grades, which is what makes it feel like a college. Walking around campus is relaxing because one walks outdoors and high school barely has that. Students succeed from the motivation of the enviroment, professors, students. Especially the diversity there is at the school is very interesting, and it's a great way to learn from each other. When I'm feeling tired, I think of the hardworking students that talk about their experiences. Some students work-study, stay all day in school, or even live in their cars outside of campus! CVCC has a good S.T.A.R.T assistance that helps students financially and out of campus with any personal problems from home, too.
Living in a Covid-19 era while studying a hands on profession is very tricky. Given the circumstance we are in, especially as oral professionals many things have had to change. The staff have gone to great measure to make sure we are still getting the most of our education given these very difficult times and circumstances!
I have nothing but positive things to say about CVCC. Everything felt so genuine and personal and I loved that feeling. The teachers were so helpful and there wasn’t any “snooty-ness” to their teaching of that makes sense. I went onto go to a 4 year university after being here for one and a half years and I can safely say I enjoyed my education at CVCC more than at my university. I can definitely see myself taking a class for fun here again in the future!
