Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Currently, I am a full-time student enrolled in New River Community College majoring in Information Technology. I decided to attend a Community College, for several reasons the main being the difference in cost of tuition versus a four year University. Community Colleges are less expensive and the classrooms have fewer students in each class so the instructor has more time to give that a student that one on one time that may be needed.
Tips for prospective students Maked sure you talk to your Professors, they are there to help you, use your time wisely.
Academic Rigor The wonderful choice of deciding to go to a Community College is that you will recieve the same academic choices in class selection, as a four year institution. Your Professor will be there for you, there are also tutoring assistance sights.
Dorm Life None
Food and Dining None
What to do for fun Take a yoga class, or maybe some other form of exercise to release stress.
Bang for the buck Attending a Community College is less expensive, however there will always be unexpected expenses. I have had to sit in the library and check the text book out for two hours ( that is the library allows) and do my homework.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The campus is split in two locations. The main location is in Dublin while the second location is the New River Valley Mall in Christiansburg. You have to pay close attention when you are signing up for classes so that you don't accidentally sign up for a class in Dublin and one following in Christiansburg in 10 minutes...when it takes at least 20 minutes to get there.
Great for these types of students Great for students who enjoy smaller classrooms with more interaction with the teacher, and also great for students who want to take classes from home.
Clubs and Activities I personally have not participated in any.
Greek Life N/A
Campus Safety There are a few security guards, the campus is pretty small and I haven't heard of anything happening there.
