Student and Staff Numbers

  • Students: The total enrollment at Northern Virginia Community College (all campuses) is approximately 51,864 students
  • Undergraduates: The enrollment data provided does not specify the exact number of undergraduate students across all campuses. However, the total annual headcount for Fall 2021 was 74,804 students. To provide a more accurate answer, we would need specific information on the number of undergraduate students. Since the provided sources do not differentiate between undergraduate and graduate students, we cannot give a precise number for undergraduate students alone. Therefore, the best approximation based on the given data is: **74,804** (total headcount for Fall 2021)
  • Academic Staff: Northern Virginia Community College has approximately 2,600 faculty and staff members. Given the specific breakdown of academic staff is not provided in the sources, we can approximate the number of academic staff to be around 2,000 to 2,600. However, without a precise breakdown, it's challenging to give an exact number. Therefore, the range is approximately 2,000 to 2,600

NOVA doesn't have much school spirit. Some professors are really terrible too. All I have to say.
Overall 1.8
Constant problems in most categories. Especially, some locations regularly shut down for gas leaks or burst pipes. My first year, none of the elevators were up to date on inspection, and the pipes in one building burst so they had to cancel classes for I think it was 2 weeks and move them to another building. And none of the teachers seem to care.

My time at nova for my first semester is overall pretty bad, some of my professor doesnt help me at all they tend to rush things too quickly.
Overall 1.9
Their history department has lost some top notch adjuncts recently. They tend to treat instructors like expendable commodities and keep full time losers around who add nothing to the learning process.
Overall 2
Never had any fears about safety. That is the only good thing I can say about the college overall.

Loudoun's Math & Technology Division is corrupt. Entire classrooms are failed unjustly. Administration is aware and unconcerned for the students - it makes them money. The Computer Science professors are just fired employees from tech companies across the street. Advice: Save money and GPA by taking all Math-Related courses at George Mason.
