Catawba Valley Community College Reviews
Rating 4.12 out of 5 221 reviews
The teachers were amazing and really cared about the success of their students. The assignments were generally really easy to understand as well.
What I have like about Catawba Valley Community College is that the Office of Student Equity and Engagement, the staff were very helpful and always wanted us to succeed and achieve our goals. It felt like a home at school and everyone got along there and treated each other like a family. I also enjoyed the time I had with the esports team at cvcc which I competed in three titles and earning me a couple offers from 4 year schools to go and compete in their esports team as well.
It has a great community to learn from. Teachers are understanding and most work hard to help you when you get stuck.
I have really enjoyed the teachers and campus. It is a very safe campus and all of the professors work hard to help every student succeed.
I won an associates degree scholarship that will start in the fall. I'll have my associates degree by the time I graduate high school then I want to continue my studies at a four year university and get my bachelors degree. This program helps a lot of students with college costs and to get a head start, they also provide a diverse amount of courses.
Catawba Valley Community College has a variety of different majors you could choose from and has an easy transfer if you want to continue your education! I really enjoy experiencing the college experience that many have told me about. Even if the college isn't a university, the professors there are kind and caring as well as strict when it comes to school work. The college provides a library, a student "break room", a study hall, student services, and many more. What I would like to see change would be the success of Catawba Valley Community College; hoping it would become a university for others very soon.
I liked this school, I feel like the learning environment is very creative and positive. I don't feel scared to ask for help or just be honest about what's going on in my life. The teachers are very patient and listen to what is going on in your life and help accommodate for that. I feel very safe and heard in this environment.
I like how it supported diversity everyone was accepted for who they are regardless of skin color, gender, or sexuality's. They had clubs for everyone and all interests. The professors worked hard to make sure the students understood the work assignments that were given. The hours were flexible students could create their schedules to fit their needs.
My experience of CVCC was through an early college program. I have been beyond happy with the program and all the full time CVCC students I've talked to really enjoy going to school there.
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.

Really great professors that care about your success. The academics are great, with classes taught by some of the most knowledgeable teachers I’ve ever met.
Catawba Valley Community College has been a great college overall, however their staff hasn't been as friendly as most would expect them to be. I was experiencing some issues with my financial aid and each time I tried to contact their financial aid office there was no one there to answer my call for three weeks. It took three weeks of calling for them to finally answer their office phone and assist me.
Throughout my experience over here has been very pleasant for me. With a balanced schedule while working has not been rough on me. Good teachers, but some are very lazy at grading so be on the watch for those!
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.
Got my associate in arts, loved most of my professors. Because of COVID-19 most of my experience was online.
I enjoyed my time at Catawba Valley Community College. Most of the teachers are very helpful and are wanting to see you succeed. The campus is laid out in an organized way, grouping like classes together. The college itself is very nice for only being a community college. This school is a great alternative to a four year the price is pretty good and being able to still get an associates degree at the end of it is well worth the investment in the classes.
Catawba Valley is the best community colleges. I love the small atmosphere that seems very personal in the classroom. The administrators put all of their effort into the classroom, students, and the campus itself. It is one of the best looking community colleges.
