REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThis college is great. If you take the time to do your work and get involved, you can learn a lot and have fun doing so.
Phillip from Broadalbin, NY
Hudson Valley Community College has the best two year education a student can ask for. The professors are encouraging and are there to help you succeed. The price is reasonable and can open doors to other opportunities.
Stephanie from East Greenbush, NY
it's a great college to attend especially if you can't afford or don't want to go to a four year school
Joseph from Latham, NY
This two year community college has some of the most dedicated professors. They often go out of their way to deliver the information to students and genuinely care if their students succeed.
Anonymous from Delmar, NY
In every class that I have taken, I learn new materials everyday. I am in the early childhood education program and I enjoy how much time the professors take with you to meet your requirements and fulfill your dreams. Online classes are available and on sight schools for your internships.
Nazefah from schenectady, NY
learning alot even tho sometimes it hard to learn alot at one time :)
Stravous from Albany, NY
I felt like i learned a lot about myself the most. I realized that the ideal thought of going aways to college and having that college experience wasn't as big as a deal as i thought it would be. I began to realize being a community college wasn't that bad and i was learning so much from HVCC. My classes and teachers really knew there stuff and if you want to learn you will.
Julia from Cohoes, NY
I have only been in HVCC for one semester so far, as I am starting my second semester in a few days. Because of this, I have only taken basic courses. However, the teachers that I have had so far go so far beyond a chalkboard and a lecture that I feel like I am getting a well rounded, useful education.
