Paradise Valley Community College is awesome! I love the Music Industry Studies Program there. So thankful to be learning so much about audio engineering, from the Audio Production Technologies courses, so I can gain the foundational knowledge & wisdom that is essential in the field of audio production.

I love the campus. It is so quite and nice. There are many places to sit. My favorite building is the Life Sciences, I sit there while I am in class and I love how there are outlets nearby so I can charge my laptop.

Coming to Paradise Valley has really changed my life and has to be one of the best (if not the best) decision I have ever made. As long as you are willing to apply yourself in your classrooms or clubs, then there is nothing to be missed here. The staff and faculty truly has me in their best interest. (FYI, they listen to students.)

PVCC is an amazing school! The stag and faculty are extremely professional and helpful. The classes were rigorous and engaged. The students are wonderful. I was a substitute professor and nursing a broken ankle. The students went out of their way to help me through doors and around campus. I've been telling everyone how great this school is.

Its not the best community college. No one cares about your achievements. The math department is terrible.

If you are thinking about going to this school please don't. Scottsdale community is sooooooo much better. I hate it here and count down the days till I leave. There is no help, the administration sucks, there is no social life. People here are in their own world it's hard to make friends. I would never recomend this school.
