Kalamazoo Valley Community College

"Love the atmosphere and all the faculty. Really miss it and wish I could get back to my engineering degree, but unfortunately my health is not the best right now, Image is from 2015"

"Good education at a fair price, just don't trust their academic counselors. You really have to do your own research on classes needed. I graduated with an associate's degree and was told by the counselor that I didn't need any other classes or general education courses to transfer to a 4 year university's bachelor's degree program, that my ADN "completely" covered me. That was a lie. I had to go back to KVCC to complete 8 ( yes, eight!!) general education courses that were not covered with my associate's degree. I met with a counselor again per protocol to set up a major.... and guess what? I was misled AGAIN. I was advised to select General Education as a major when the MTA Transfer major, has the actual transferable classes. Word to the wise----Do your own research because their academic advisors certainly do not stay up to date and current on their own institutions programs and requirements for transfer."

"So disappointed in the state of Michigan. I worked for KVCC for one semester, and was offered matching 401 funds. 4 years later my gains were offset by admin fees with Voya. I had to ask KVCC to say I did not work there so I could withdraw the $235, only to find KVCC took back there matching funds of $90 and Voya was going to charge me another $75 to get what was left. What the heck. Keep printing and sending my statements!!!!!"

"Great school with exceptional staff (sometimes). Ive had an amazing time and glad to say I’ll be graduating this year! I think right now my only issue is the mask mandate on campus. It’s ridiculous to me that we all have to wear a mask even if we’re in the corner of the library by ourselves or sitting alone in commons. It can be extremely difficult to wear a mask and for vaccinated people who have asthma like me it’s unnecessary."

"Been taking some classes here to bolster my resume and build some additional skills. The instructors Ive had have been good and helpful. Add on top of that the low cost of tuition and KVCC has been great."
