I've never had a worse time at an institution, from dealing with the worst nightmare of a website/ system to very unhelpful staff. I was unable to sign up for classes for seriously like three months. They said IT would help, & they really had me going in circles. I do not recommend.

I am currently enrolled in cvcc. I am loving the experience! Enjoying the classes and learning a lot. I would recommend this school for anyone seeking an associate's degree. Also, my son attended a few years ago before transferring to a four-year school. His experience was also good.

Excellent EMS program! The instructors are down to earth and excellent in teaching the material to pass the National Certifications. Federal Financial Aid paid for the program. Received EMT, Advanced EMT, CPR, Emergency Vehicle Operator Course, FEMA, and Traffic Incident Management certifications, all in one program.

There are a handful of teachers here that I actively enjoyed working with. Unfortunately, there were twice as many teachers and office representatives here that made continuing my education a pretty nightmarish experience. While I understand that difficult people are a part of life; I should be able to take a history class without worrying about if my gender or personal life outside of the classroom is going to negatively impact my grade point average. I should also be able to take a math class without 30 minutes of every other class being devoted to a rant about the importance of knowing cursive or a verbal tirade about people who take advantage of financial assistance programs. Even the teachers I truly enjoyed, much like the multitudes I did not care for, managed to find some way to work what I began to refer to as the school motto into their classes: "college isn't for everyone." All of this negativity on top of the stress of maintaining a 4.0 as well as straining to meet Pell Grant qualifications had already worn me fairly thin. Throw on top of that being constantly reminded that some people are statistically doomed for failure no matter what and a complete lack of access to any form of councilors other than my obviously overwhelmed advisor and I eventually felt as though I had no choice other than to leave.

I went to this for a total of 3 years. Starting with the ready to work program, then going on to obtaining my ged, then following that starting college which was all fine and well when I first started the college part of cvcc cause I basically already had an idea of where everything was. But at the time of my enrollment I was in foster care so on top of stress from school I had to deal with my foster mom not wanting to take me to school everyday and don't try to explain your situation to the teachers or your advisor because honestly they don't care about your situation all they care about is the money they get paid and marking you absent, I don't have time to go on and on with this but just know that when you start here you're in for a run around

There needs to be a part-time nursing program as evening classes or weekend classes for working students and long distance students. Why not make NUR 112 also requirement for Certified Patient Care Technician/Apprentice from the National Health career Association.

I went to the Pirate Preview Day at CVCC on Friday, February 10th with a group of students from Smiths Station High School and I had a blast!!
