Unlike many other college's these professors are actually dedicated to helping you succeed whether that be extra help or office hours or anything. The cafeteria breeds a strange breed of kids but overall everybody is friendly and courteous. Definitely a great pick for me as I was offered many and I mean many opportunities!

A lot of the students at NOVA are immature cheaters. Some good teachers bad administration. What can you really expect its community college.

It is community college. There is minimum to absolutely no social life, sports, or activitys. The people here are unfriendly to the point of being borderline rude.. I hated it. The only reason I came is because its the cheapest college for my family. In terms of enjoyment is the worst college there is. You will not have that college experience.

There are no socials, no good cafeteria food, no excellent school sports teams, and narry an attractive student. NOVA is a community college and one cannot expect more than what it advertises to offer. The professors and admin are awesome, books are expensive, library sucks, blah blah.
