Paradise Valley community college is filled with opportunity. The professors genuinely care about each individual's success. There are various courses to choose from and a very diverse array of students to mingle with. For me, the whole "college thing" seemed like a little too much for me straight out of high school, but PVCC made me feel right at home because of the endless support from faculty and peers. I would recommend this school to any, and every body!
I loved going to PVCC! As a concurrently enrolled student, I started there when I was 14 years old. They were always very accommodating to me and they always helped me find the resources I need to be successful. The professors there really do care about the students. They always provide office hours and are willing to set up meetings with you for your success. I would recommend this for anyone who does not want the full "live on-campus" college experience.
As a student at Paradise Valley Community College, I really enjoyed the same class sizes and the curriculum. I have not yet had a bad experience with a professor. I feel that my college has given me the opportunity to engage and network with students and faculty alike. I have made new friends and found professors to mentor me.
My only concern would be the advisement staff. I have been directed toward bad information/poor choices after visiting with them. I would like to see the advisement faculty have better knowledge and lower turnarounds. I would think that the misinformation I got can be traced to how often the staff leave and new people get hired.
