I decided to go to Rock Valley for only a year when the pandemic started. Soon I changed my major and was able to fulfill it at RVC! Since everything was made so easy for students at the school I decided to stay. Since I am a only child and never have been through the college process, RVC staff really helped me through the entire process, especially with the pandemic. The professors have also been more than understanding and are great teachers. Along with all of that, the price is extremely affordable.
I enjoy studying at Rock Valley College and I am grateful for this opportunity that has been granted to me! Rock Valley is a supportive and flexible institution that creates a healthy environment for new college students or continuing learners. Thanks to the support of the wonderful professors and the outreach of many helping counselors, I have been thriving in this college.
Rock Valley College is an amazing school for education. As for experience, it is not. It is mostly a college where you focus on your classes. Most students here are to themselves. They do not provide dorms so its more of an independent college rather than a college with the experience everyone is looking for. The best way to be involved is to join a sport or club. The school offers many programs in order for you to succeed, and best of all, they offer free parking!
