The professors I have had are all AMAZING! They provide online and in-person education and require that students be vaccinated if they have in-person classes. It is a super clean campus and they try very hard to bring all the students together even though it is a community college; they plan events and have food drives as well as ceremonies for those who are transferring out. The only thing that I think they can work on is hiring more competent counselors. The counselors do not know enough to help you succeed when transferring to other universities, which can cause you to stay at IVC for more than the estimated two years.
Regarding online experience, it is acceptable for what it is. To elaborate on this, online learning has somewhat been a learning curve for many students, so this isn't uniquely a problem for IVC (Irvine Valley College). The learning curve would include very minimal lecture time for certain courses, difficulty in understandings, as traditional Labs in Chemistry aren't performed for the time being, and the classroom environment is completely gone, which was a key element in a student's eagerness to learn. The solution to many of the problems that I've found and discussed with many of my peers, are self study, reliance on the internet, and willpower, as online learning isn't as effective compared to classroom learning. Granted, self study and willpower has always been the case with University level courses and even High School level courses, however there are too many restrictions or new limitations that severely hampers a student's academic experiences.
Irvine Valley College is a pretty good community college. It has some great professors but in the chemistry department it is lacking good professors that let students learn without just trying to make it seem like a student should know the material straight after seeing it the first time. The campus is very nice and air conditioned which is great in the spring and summer when it can be very hot in Irvine. I think that the cafeteria could use some updates. The people on campus are super friendly and sociable and everyone is very nice! :) Getting to classes is easy as the campus itself is not spread that far apart and the biology and writing buildings are super nice and new and have great places to sit and study. Overall I love this campus and the people on it!
