What our students feel

Image of RVCC student Mischelle Haskins during an interview.

I really was taken back by how much support that was really there, especially be on the older side. … No one ever made me feel like I was a non-traditional student.

Mischelle Haskins, Human Services Student

I think RV does a really good job at meeting everyone where they are.

Annika Werenko, Human Services Student

It’s not just a college. It’s a family. The professors and staff are all so friendly.

Mohammed ‘John’ Wusha_Conteh, Computer Science Student

I would say coming to RV was the best decision because I met so many faculty in a smaller environment that I was able to grow and learn. I feel like I’m much more prepared to transfer to a 4-year.

Valerie Blanco, Business Student

A two-year program is an absolutely wonderful way of getting back into it. It’s something that is more doable for a lot of people.

Chris Byrnes, Digital Media Student

The school has been very helpful in terms of allowing me to continue with father duty and husband duty.

Edward Nunez, Computer Science Student

If someone is stuck and they don’t know what it is they want to do with their life, I feel like this is the perfect fit for them.

Talia Hooke, IT Student

That’s one of the biggest misconceptions that it’s lesser than a 4-year school.

Joscar Toribio, IT Student

I feel like RV picked me because, ever since the start of coming to my first open house, I feel like it was love at first sight. That really stood out to me because you want to be at an institution where you can feel comfortable being yourself.
