Rock Valley College

"Called the Career Services and Consoling for help with Job interviewing, and they have a knack for creating drama and trouble. Rose correctly detected my anxiety, however the way she address it was way out of line. First asking me about suicide... then about my personal life.... None of your business since I don't need the cops at my door, and why do you say I am off topic when I am answering your stupid questions. Anyway, spent the rest of the morning dealing with cops and the like having to answer for the imagination of that Rose individual. You will not get meaningful help here, quite the opposite."

"RVC is the best first-step approach to college. I'm a returning, adult student and all of my professors have been top notch. Staff is kind and helpful, classmates are diverse and respectful...I have nothing but wonderful things to say about RVC."

"I was a part of the "Out of the Darkness" Community Walk to PREVENT Suicide hosted by the AFPS this past Saturday, September the 24th, 2022. It was an amazing experience I recomend it to any and everybody. It was a lovely event for a great cause and it was a beautiful day!!!"

"I earned my associate's degree at RVC before transferring to a four-year school to finish my bachelor's. It was an excellent decision. The professors are top-notch and prepare you well. Dr. Martin Quirk is amazing. He was the advisor for the Model UN team and developed the public speaking and research skills of many of RVC's best alumni. He built them up to compete against ivy league students and provided them opportunities to travel which wasn't otherwise accessible to students of modest means Dr. Mike Kelley is the best science teacher ever. His enthusiasm for the subject matter is enthralling. I loved his Atmospheric Science class. All of this and it's still very affordable. You won't regret attending RVC."

"I’ve had very good and bad experiences at Rock Valley. For one thing, the teachers seem to be excellent like Joseph Haverly or they are absolutely terrible. There’s not usually much of an in-between. And to the professors that really care and love what they teach, God bless you all. Another complaint I have is the customer service. Whenever I try to call the College I’m greeted by a bot asking me dial a number based on what type of question I have… I’m then usually greeted by an 18 year old who either just hangs up or has absolutely no idea what is going on and leaves me hanging on the phone for 20+ minutes for me to get an answer to basic questions about registration and finances. *Update* Avoid any professor here that refers to themselves as “professor.” If you end up with one, just save yourself and refund the class: you’ll thank me later."
