Review of Mohawk Valley Community College

from Ilion, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

This college is very geared toward learning disabilities. I found their financial aid to be great- I've been there for three years and I have been covered for everything including books. I am impressed with the staff, never have gotten into a tangle with them- ever!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Best way to get involved is to get to know your professors! Most likely they will be the ones who are leading the group or club, but they also can point you in the right direction to find who does.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The 100 level courses are very easy, however once you reach the 200 level courses, the course work and load become harder then before!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorms are great if you are used to an atmosphere with other people. They were clean, and I got to know the cleaning lady very well!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Food is okay, but could be better. However for the amount you pay, food is food, right?

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are lots of events on campus- soccer is a big thing! Around town there is lots to do- there is 5 dollar movie tickets every Friday and there is the Munson Williams art institute you can go to if your an art person!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Very worth the money you spend! Community College is a great way to save on the first two years of college!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The campus is very small, however the track is great for going for walks on!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Learning disabled, full time workers, parents, those who are paying for college on their own and for those who need the time to get to know how college works.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Thousands of clubs to join! And you can make your own club too just by talking to the student life advisers!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Not so much Greek life here- sorry :(

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Excellent safety! There are blue boxes with telephones everywhere on campus and you can have officers escort you. There was a gang fight that was going to be happening the night of my birthday and they handed out fliers saying to stay in the dorms and had Utica Police there to escort you. They jumped on top of the alert and thankfully no one was hurt!
