    Napa Valley College is amazing! Our campus is very diverse. The teachers are amazing and they are always willing to help and want to see us succeed. The classes are somewhat easy, as long as you put in that hard work and study you will be able to pass the classes. You will meet a lot of people and some will actually become life long friends. What I like about Napa Valley College is that everyone is so nice and welcoming, it is a safe place to be and everyone gets along.

    Napa Valley College is a very beautiful, clean campus. All of the faculty and staff are extremely nice and very willing to help. Some of the classrooms could use some updating, but other than that they're doable. The teachers go above and beyond from my experience! They are definitely there to help you and help you pass if you communicate with them. The pricing is better than a UC/CSU, the local area has tons of food/shopping, and the campus food is pretty decent too. Overall, very glad I spent my time here.
    The small college you will mostly know everyone there. Classes are around 20 students to 1 teacher. The teachers are really helpful, but they will only help you if you ask for it. Most of the teacher have offices hour and they are really good at answering email quick. I personally got help picking classes with help from the EOP center. With their help, I was able to graduate and transmitted to Sonoma State. I just wish they had more food options. The two food truck get boring, the cafe closes early so it's always a problem for night classes.
