Northern Virginia Community College Woodbridge Campus

This is the most unorganized school that I’ve attended (out of 3 colleges). Their staff does not care about your experience, and they will allow mistake after mistake without any accountability or recourse once your life, career, and education has been affected. Find another institution if you want a smooth experience. If you attend this school you will need to manage the administrative faculty like children or they will allow simple mistakes to occur almost as if they would rather make your life harder than it already is. In my case wasting 2 semesters of time.

A true community college offering degrees for 4-year transfer, associate degrees, certificate programs, career and personal development courses. Convenient, cost-effective and high quality professors make this a solid choice for many varied audiences. Definitely recommend as a stepping stone to further study or gaining career skills.

More leftist-activist indoctrination. As if K-12 public education isn't enough the 'professors' at NOVA are politicized through and through. My oldest showed me a paper he was 'forced' for write for a Sociology class that had nothing (or little) to do with sociology but was focused on blaming capitalism for the worlds problems.

if you're a veteran and hoping they accept much of your hard earned Joint service transcript credits they don't... they only accepted three out of the 40 credits and it was just my basic training for a PT credit. Don't waste your time.

You really have to advocate for yourself here for answers especially if you are new. I haven't really known where to go and have had to go back to advising twice after my first time. People will give you misinformation or just guide you back to the website. Went to Financial Aid today and the girls at the front looked at me like I was stupid when I told them I was wondering why I'd been dropped from a course, told me that I could just add the course back and hope it doesn't drop again. They didn't even try to take a look at my information, just seemed they wanted me out, so I wasn't taking that for an answer of course. I then went to advising and the guy then took me directly back to aid and helped fix the situation, so if you're new to college just remember that if you have questions/concerns ask and ask again until all of them are solved or else you're gonna be screwed over by the incompetence of some of the people who work here. Others will genuinely help you fix the situation, it seriously just depends. Don't take the answer you aren't looking for at face value as well. I emailed my student advisor and he didn't respond for four days until I'd actually visited the campus and saw another advisor and by that time it was too late, the other advisor told me to show him on the college board website and that was all he needed. The answer that I got from my previous advisor was a very short and brief answer telling me to send my SAT scores through college board which for me at this point would've been a 30-45 dollar fee instead of the nothing I had to pay today. This campus needs to work on a bunch of things logistically for sure, but I've seen worse.

I went back in 2004, the Army gave me a semester off to go to college. The campus is beautiful and the professors were amazing. They helped me when I struggled with something and I ended up with a 3.7 gpa after being a C student in high school at my very best. I’m moving back to the area next year and would love to return to take more classes here!

Modern looking building, really nice campus that's constantly renovating. The staff and faculty are amazing especially in STEM departments. They have a lot of resources available for students to learn hands on skills.

For people who hate crowded places this college is an ideal place to study. The campus is quiet, beautiful, and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Since the classes are small you can interact with the professors easily and get help almost any time.

I’m rating one star because the communication with the people who physically work on the campus and the people who work in the call center is completely nonexistent! Giving someone misinformation and having them take the time to go to the campus is completely inconsiderate. For someone like me who is s single working mom it is not ok. Especially when it’s right before winter break. I need specific simple questions answered and the woman in the office did not help whatsoever. And even felt it was necessary to tell me she was training. Why is that any of my business? She’s still an employee therefore get somebody who can at least attempt to help me. Not hand me cards and send me on my way. I even called to speak with a supervisor because to not help someone right They also need new people who are trained correctly working in the office. Customer service is just horrible these days. So sick of places that aren’t helpful.

Enjoying everything about my classes so far! Only issue I keep having is with getting my booklist in advance. I have even had my books changed on me in the last 2 weeks before class starts. That was a problem since I ordered off a discount site. However, overall I am satisfied with everything else and I have been to a few Universities (I have my BA).
