I wasted two semesters of tuition and book fees ($4k). I had classes spread from Creedmoor, Henderson, and Warren campuses. Henderson held internet classes, English, and math at different campuses. I am attending Wake Tech where my classes remain at one location. The financial aid, bookstore, and support counselors display their support.

The Culinary Arts program is a JOKE. The instructor use expired milk, boxed brownie mix, and I found a four year old jar of peanut butter. I recommend to complete a DEEP RESEARCH before wasting your money. I refused to return.

Any of the teachers that do are not teaching shop classes are extremely liberal, I am taking English and sociology and have learned nothing other than I should feel bad that I am white. The classes are attempting to brainwash you because they are anti-conservative and anti-white people.

School instructor skills are extremely poor. When a student questions about the 'hows' to MLA and APA formating the instructor's advice is to see the tutor. Most of the internal faculty staff preferred not to hear one's concerns, they only care for their paycheck. I am attending a different college --- with much joy! Beware.

If you're going to go to VGCC, I highly recommend you ONLY go for the AAS Programs such as Cosmetology, Radiography, Nursing, etc. Other-wise, you are far and away better at going to another school. A few excellent professors such as Johnathan Sparks is the reason I give this Campus a 2 instead of a 1. Advisors and most professors aren't helpful.
