I graduated my Associate's Degree in 2015, but when I needed 6 more credits to apply for Sherman College of Chiropractic to attain my 90 required credit hours, CVCC made the process so easy! I never stepped foot on campus, and I am completing the last class I need to be considered into the Chiropractic program. When I did attend on campus before obtaining my Associate's, the flexible class schedule and hours made working full time and being a mother while attending college very attainable and affordable. I highly recommend Catawba Valley Community College.
The staff at CVCC are phenomenal. Almost every professor is understanding that life happens. Staff are willing to work with you to help you get the best out of your education.
I am transferring to a 4 year university and CVCC has been an AFFORDABLE way to earn my associate degree before transition to a university.
I have enjoyed my time at CVCC and the lessons I have learned! I recommend this school for anyone who is looking for an affordable option to furthering their education.

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.
