Raritan Valley Community College Reviews

Small college, friendly students and staff, several clubs free to join any time, after a couple semesters you feel like family with the community. The food in the cafeteria not the greatest and also expensive in my opinion for it's quality. Shoprite is walking distance to college. Tuition costs are lower than four year college. Free parking! I had a great experience, very recommended.

Review Raritan Valley Community College

RVCC is truly a great school. Theres lots of opportunities for growth and exploring different interests, whether its joining/starting a club, joining the honors college, or even just spending time around the beautiful campus! The staff here are great and really do care about you. If you’re looking for a new start to your learning or just searching for more affordable schooling, RV is perfect for you! The campus is very pretty and quite big, with a library, cafeteria, Starbucks cafe and multiple studying areas throughout the buildings you can easily make yourself at home. The academics are also fairly good, coming from a biology major, and friends Ive made along the way seem very happy with their choice.

My time at RVCC was great, but rather different. I spent my first year entirely remote because of the pandemic, and my last two semester were reduced classes. I loved almost all of the professors I had, and highly recommend taking Intro to psychology and Intro to sociology. Just remember to make sure whatever classes you are taking, are transferable to your four year school. Overall I had a pretty good experience!
