I visited many colleges and found this one to be the most comfortable fit for me. A small (but not too small) college, where I feel that I will not get lost in the crowd academically. I am looking forward to coming to MVCC!

I feel that the Respiratory Care/Therapist degree could be challenging, but I feel that there is a large degree of assistance available for me to succeed.

Not so sure about the bathroom situation at the dorms, but I am spoiled with my own bathroom!

Looked good when we visited!

An Associates Degree for this price? I can hit the ground running when I graduate from here, not being buried up to my eyeballs in debt!

MVCC is a great school for those who want a good education for less money, also because you can figure out what you want to do before attending a four year school. Has very many classes and majors to choose from. It can be a bit confusing and difficult for people that don't understand how college works.

Talk to your adviser right away and let them know your career goal. If you don't understand something, go straight to your teachers right away rather than email them. If you need to find a good teacher, use ratemyprofessor.com.

The food is like any college. Your going to be happy to eat food from home and eating out at a restaurant.

Join clubs and other activities. If you do not have a car, it will be hard for you to get anywhere unless you walk.

Good education for the amount you pay.

Unsure students who aren't completely comfortable with choosing a four year school yet.

Many things to get involved in.

A couple clubs for anyone that enjoys that kind of stuff.

Always around campus.

The teachers are great, I've yet to have one who wasn't interesting and knowledgeable in their field.

People in general are open and nice, I've certainly felt I learned and improved a lot my two years here.

You won't beat the price, especially for your first two years! Classes transfer incredibly easily as well.

Just because you're at a small, cheap school does not mean you should slack off! The work you put into these two years will aid you greatly for your final two should you decide to move on.

I'd say independent students will fare better here, since the way the main offices are run require you to do a lot of work on your own. It's frustrating at times, but in the end it certainly prepares you for the real world.

Mohawk Valley Community College is a wonderful collage. I am a returning adult going back to become a RN. I though it would be a challenging, yet I was accepted with open arms. From the staff, to the students, to the activities that they offer!

Make sure to go to there open house. It really is helpful when you are first learning about the school. They show you where the main offices are, where your main classes will be, libary, ect. It was a big help. Also remember to sign up for clubs! It always looks good, and (like me) you might get offered to have lunch with the dean!

Honestly I could not answer this question because I don't live in the dorms.

I don't think it's that bad. They have sandwiches, pizza hut, salads, ect.

This college is very geared toward learning disabilities. I found their financial aid to be great- I've been there for three years and I have been covered for everything including books. I am impressed with the staff, never have gotten into a tangle with them- ever!

Best way to get involved is to get to know your professors! Most likely they will be the ones who are leading the group or club, but they also can point you in the right direction to find who does.

The 100 level courses are very easy, however once you reach the 200 level courses, the course work and load become harder then before!

Dorms are great if you are used to an atmosphere with other people. They were clean, and I got to know the cleaning lady very well!

Food is okay, but could be better. However for the amount you pay, food is food, right?

There are lots of events on campus- soccer is a big thing! Around town there is lots to do- there is 5 dollar movie tickets every Friday and there is the Munson Williams art institute you can go to if your an art person!

Very worth the money you spend! Community College is a great way to save on the first two years of college!

The campus is very small, however the track is great for going for walks on!

Learning disabled, full time workers, parents, those who are paying for college on their own and for those who need the time to get to know how college works.

Thousands of clubs to join! And you can make your own club too just by talking to the student life advisers!

Not so much Greek life here- sorry :(

Excellent safety! There are blue boxes with telephones everywhere on campus and you can have officers escort you. There was a gang fight that was going to be happening the night of my birthday and they handed out fliers saying to stay in the dorms and had Utica Police there to escort you. They jumped on top of the alert and thankfully no one was hurt!

I believe this is a great school with professors that know what they are doing in the fields that they teach. They have been in the field for many years as professionals and most of them are continuing their education.
