I'm currently in the Communication Design program at Virginia Western, and I've learned more than I thought I would have, especially in my classes for Comm. Design program.

He treats us as though we were employees in his business and does things you don't normally get taught to deal with in school.

    Virginia Western Community College, for me, has turned out to be a pleasant surprise. As a student, you are not only getting just as good an education as a university, but the price of attendance also makes it more obtainable for a wide range of students to attend. You get a well rounded education, fantastic teachers, and the opportunity to meet a lot of new, diverse, and interesting people.

    Virginia Western Community College is an ever growing, friendly environment. Their teachers and staff are extremely friendly and helpful and their library and study areas are most helpful. They have free writing centers where teachers will help review papers and study for math.

    Virginia Western is a very nice school, but it's staff and teachers are disorganized. I didn't realize how good I had it at Kent State until I realized all the teachers weren't like the ones there. I love the other students there, they are very nice.
