Great for these types of students anti-social students there is online classes. social butterflies there are tons of different types of classes on campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus there is a back to school splash every year. new students are welcome, you will always get an email about it so come and have a great time.
Bang for the buck if you want to have a good time after hours at the school just get to know the other students. students come from at least 4 different counties, there is always something going on.
What to do for fun take a p.e. class like walleyball or watch a movie in the student lounge (as long as you keep good grades).
Food and Dining the food is better than other colleges i have visited. unlike some schools they do not put laxatives in the food. the food is so feeling you should just get one egg not two. there are sodas and healthy beverages to drink. the cafeteria does close kind of early though.
Dorm Life there is no dorms but you may qualify for low-income housing apartments that are on the public transit route. i would recommend the apartments in centennial heights apartments in haysi, va. there is always a bus stop here.
Academic Rigor when i first came to svcc i though the classes would be push-over easy. i was really wrong. the classes are challenging and you will end up understand what you need to by the end of the classes if you keep up with your homework and reading.
Tips for prospective students if you have internet loads of the classes are available online so you don't even have to leave home. when you sell your books back sell them online...you will get more back. if you live with in the four-county transit system there is free transportation to and from school.
In three sentences excellent understanding teachers. offers some degrees fully online. if you qualify for the pell grant it more then likely will pay for your whole school year.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is very safe and secure.
Greek Life Southwest does support Phi Theta Kappa, who are very active in the school.
Great for these types of students Southwest is great for anyone who is looking to accomplish a quick Bachelors, or who would like to get their basic courses out of the way before they transfer. It also has many art classes, and students who enjoy studio art or craftmanship, like leatherworking and ceramics will be right at home.
Bang for the buck The tuition for Southwest is very affordable and the education is worth it.
What to do for fun The college offers many extracurricular activities,, as well as classes that are very enjoyable.
Food and Dining The campus cafeteria contains well prepared, delicious food, with an open dining area, either inside or out.
Dorm Life This school provides no dormitory service that i'm aware of.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor really depends on the professor you receive. However, all classes provide adequate instruction and you will learn everything you need.
In three sentences This school is very good, either as a place to pursue a complete education or as a starting block for the future. Class sizes are relatively small, with caring and competent teachers.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck Best deal in Virginia, literally.
Food and Dining The staff in the dining hall are always so nice and helpful. The food is pretty good too.
Academic Rigor Although I would not rate academic rigor as extremely difficult the instructors do make sure you learn what the essentials to each subject are. And they actually make sure you learn it!
In three sentences Southwest Virginia Community College has provided an excellent stimulating atmosphere for me to succeed in my science studies. I have had more than wonderful instructors in all my courses. The administration and faculty are SwVCC is always so nice and have a smile on their face, they really do seem to care about the students.
