RVCC is the perfect place to begin your college academic career if you are not quite prepared for the atmosphere of a 4-year college, or if you struggled in high school and are looking for a fresh start! Both of which applied to me and RVCC has given me great confidence in my academic abilities while preparing me for a college atmosphere with its athletic programs and an impressively large campus. While some professors are meh, the staff here truly want you to succeed.

I am a current student at RVCC. I know many students attending and have graduated from this college. This is a good 2 year school and I would recommend to anyone trying to save some money instead of attending a four year university. However, if you are seeking a college experience with partying and events then you won't find it here. RVCC has student events like Halloween parties and picnics, so that students can get to know each other and make friends. You can also meet new people by joining sports, school clubs, and going to the game room in between classes. My only complaint about this university is the professors. Some professors are absolutely amazing, while others have nasty attitudes. I'm suprised how accurate "rate my professor" is on how the professors teach and treat their students at RVCC.

Really amazing value for the price! RVCC has a highly talented English department, although I can't speak to the quality of other majors. I highly recommend joining the honors college and running for student council as these are, in my experience, the best and most efficient ways to get the most out of your time at RVCC
