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!

It's a great community of people who are kind to one another. The campus is safe and clean. The staff are kind. There are many student outreach events. There is good representation and a strong variety of students from all walks of life. The only thing is that some of the Professors are a bit outdated in their way of thinking. I've had mysognistic and homophobic teachers. As well as my pyschology professor basically tell the entire class that my rare mental disability isn't real. Other than that, there are some teachers that are real gems and the counselors are mostly helpful and understanding. Scheduling appointments can be a bit hard at times with certain people, but that is understandable. Overall, this community college has a well rounded environment.
