申请点评
- Academic Experience: VHCC offers a good curriculum and the registration process is easy. The professors are really great.
- Campus Resources: The computer labs and network works really well.
- Campus Resources: Most of the buildings seem very outdated. Especially the library. All the books in there are very old like decades old. The bathrooms have recently been updated though and it's clear that the campus is attempting to go green
- Campus Resources: It's obvious that the school and the student government makes an attempt to have various activities at the school and to get the student body involves but honestly it never happens. You'll see events set up and people working them just standing around hoping people show up. But It is a non residential community college so I guess its kind of what you would expect.
- Campus Resources: There are a ton of computers available in the Library for student use, you can print from these computers for free. And off the library is the learning lab with even more computers to use. I prefer it in their because its a little louder. That might sound weird but I find it hard to conventrate in the stone silence of the library. There are also many tables and desks set up where you can use your personal computer, but there is no way to print throught the School network from your personal computer.
- Academic Experience: The professors are there to help when needed, but there will be at least one who doesn't know how to teach a class and relies on the power point to teach their class. They do give you good knowledge for the tests and they also help in trying to get you ready if you are planning on transferring.
- Campus Resources: Honestly, I cannot give a unique thing about the school other than the artwork that posted around the building. The dinning room has a mural that is really beautiful and the campus is clean, but there are not a lot of opportunities of places to meet people and hang out. Besides the library and dinning room, most people just keep to themselves and those are really the only places where you may see some one.
- Campus Resources: Because Virginia Highlands is a Community College, there are not as many campus activities, sports, and clubs that would be available to a University. The library is in dire need of more computers, more books besides just resource books for class, and comfier places to study upon. Besides the second week of school, there are not a lot of campus activities. The school is mostly focused on academics, and of course that is important, but I would like to be able to experience a somewhat college life where I can meet people and have opportunists to explore activities and clubs.*(4)
