Mohawk Valley Community College - Utica

"I've been to several colleges and I feel like the staff here is very helpful and the location is great for my commute. The campus is easy to navigate, the art building is a little like a maze, but once you walk it a few times it's easy."

"As a MVCC Alumni I have nothing but great things to say about MV. It is a TWO year (Associates) SUNY (Room & Board available) school which makes receiving your degree EXTREMELY affordable. The campus is small but beautiful and always buzzing with classes and student activities. It hosts a number of public events: I was their today on behalf of my non-profit employer to attend a volunteer fair...job fair TBA."

"It is a small College but like everything else in life, you get out of it what you are willing to put in, the professors were very supportive. So glad I got my nursing degree from there. It has afforded me a great successful rewarding career. Will be forever grateful!"

"CAW, a very solid community college located in a dying city. Just a small warning for new students who are especially looking for a social atmosphere. There is very little to do, which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you are. Which is why I find it surprising that there is large amount of people from NYC who decide to dorm here caw caw. There's...literally nothing...a casino that is 40 mins away...but that's about it. I would recommend it caw caw just as long as you know what you're getting yourself into caw caw."

"Writing this from late 2016 Utica Campus: The dorms are amazing, especially in Bellamy, although you really gotta ask some of your neighbors to quiet down, since sometimes the good times are pretty loud. The classes are great. As an animation major the professors are all unique and engaging in their own way, but make sure that the brunt of the work is on your shoulders so you don't breeze by without actually challenging yourself. Dining hall food could use some work, but all in all is a good place to get a meal before class and a great place for meeting with your friends and enjoying some eats."
