I have been going to this college for years and have always loved it.
My first Certification was in Paramedic Technology
My second Certification is in Sustainable Craft Brewing which I am now pursuing my Associates of Science.
The brewing program is one of the top, if not the top Community College in the U.S. for Craft Brewing.

Overall 4.9
Loved all my professors. I graduated with an associate's degree in applied science. Sure some teachers were hard but those guys had full time jobs as electrical engineers so I didn't think anything of it when they help out part time as a teacher and that's a lot of responsibility to have.

I’m at KVCC as a guest student from WMU & I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kristi Tullis (Gen. Chem 1 & 2) and Patrick Malsom (Physics 1). These classes & both professors are a complete 180 from WMUs. I passed these classes with A’s. Highly recommend these 2 professors at KVCC.

I am an online student and every interaction over my past 2 years has been wonderful. I love KVCC and all it helps to set up for Graduate programs. They are wonderful and this was an easy-to-navigate path because of it.

Wonderful school

This is an excellent school for nursing and dental hygiene programs. It is among the top one or two for both nursing and dental hygiene programs. If you're interested in healthcare, this is the greatest and cheapest school.
Bad reviews

This school does not care for your success; they make classes as difficult as possible so they can suck free funding out of you.
Overall 1.5
Though the instructors are excellent, KVCC and it's leadership is lacking. Handling of the recent crisis (COVID and the IT failure) was poor and clearly not made with students in mind. The bookstore, even with its "new" update, is virtually useless and usually of no help. The job/intern placement staff is very condescending, arrogant and dismissive

The internet is trash and you have no cell phone coverage with virtually any carrier

I am my own teacher and I'm paying extra to go online and it isnt even my choice to do so.

If I could go back in time and choose between going here or strait to a university, I would go strait to a university.
