The college has potential, but I feel I am not receiving the best education as possible. Mostly, the staff is great and strive to push academic excellence, but I feel the college itself just pushes for more money. The student body is overpopulated and classrooms are very crowded. I feel more like a mule than an individual student at my college.

    I take online classes as a senior at Hickory Career and Arts Magnet High School. CVCC also sends a processor to my school to teach me two classes a day.

    I would say that say far as education goes, cvcc has met my expectations so far. Classes aren't over crowded and my teachers are great. However, I would've like them not to split up the math classes this semester, it has made it harder for me to pass the classes.

    CVCC has a lot to offer to students right out of high school or adult learners who are returning to complete their degrees or just starting over in a new career field. There are a variety of majors along with extensive continuing education opportunities. It has a great gym, library and learning assistance center.

    Catawba Valley has great people who can help a person find what they need to complete school. Their staff is very helpful and friendly. The college may not be as big as other community college that i have seen but it is filled with lots of people so that's a plus for making new friends.
