Northern virginia community college Reviews

Great college that offers associate degrees to those pursuing careers in sciences, social sciences, and technology. They also offer certificates after completing certain programs.

Price wise, you're better off just going to a university. It's not that cheap. Literally 2 classes cost me $1100. I thought community colleges are suppose to save you money. Price wise this school is a SCAM. It's only SLIGHTLY cheaper than a regular public instate university. SLIGHTLY.

This college campus has as many student as a large university. Many campuses all over 5 counties of Northern Virginia. Many good choices of many subjects to learn.

You better watch your bank account. They love taking extra money.

I took about half a BS degree here various courses in business, nursing, biology, public speaking. Good price when I went. More expensive these days though. Still a lot less expensive than a 4 year college and you get the same credit. Courses seem a bit more practical oriented and less theoretical than 4 year colleges. Particularly useful was intro to microcomputer software and accounting classes I think.

Northern Virginia Community College, a.k.a. NOVA, is one of the best great college for students who want to save tuition. Plus, they can have more time to think their appropriate major in here. For foreign students, NOVA s ESL program is very well organized and popular so that you can experience the ethnic diversity in here.

Professors are usually very good, but the administration (particularly the College Records Office) can be extremely hard to work with. The campuses look really good though.

Its tough to give this place a 1 star, because a few of the professors are good. But most of them are in it for the money, and dont out anything into the class. Online classes have been a joke by most of the professors this summer. Some of the assignments aren't graded for like a month after you complete them. No response to emails, and so forth. The high level deans are awesome and caring. But the assistant deans are buddies with the professors, so nothing gets done by them when you ask for assistance.

You couldn't pay me to attend NOVA! My high school child is trying to sign up for a dual enrollment class through Nova & they have been giving me the run around for months. No one knows what the other is doing & no one is helpful. "Difficult to work with" is an understatement. They are downright rude. There is no way I would recommend this school to ANYONE. I have spent days upon days trying to confirm that she is signed up for the class but each person tells me a different story. Terrible.

Most people on the reviews are unhappy about the school's tuition prices. I honestly don't have much knowledge about price within the U.S higher education system (was on a full financial aid) but, apart from the price topic NOVA is a great school! First the quality of education is top notch. Second almost all the professors and advisors I've worked with were very supportive and caring for students' success. Third as long as you made the most use of them NOVA's got plenty of free and available state of the art high quality resources to help students succeed and have a great college experience. Library, tutoring centers, labs, open computer labs, student life, clubs, bookstores, cafes, lounges, etc, and even internship career connections! On top of all that you get to transfer to any four year college of your choice while holding an associate degree or some certificate which comes as beneficial for your internship or part time job. NOVA's campus environment and physical area is equivalent to a university. It's a wonderful school for a community college! SN: It's the second largest and one of the top community colleges in the country.
