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.
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.
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.
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).
