I am in the Accounting program at Virginia Western, and so far have learned an impressive amount for only having taken two of the required accounting classes. My teachers have helped consistently, and are great about reinforcing the important facts.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
It's not the most amazing school on the face of the earth, but it is an enjoyable atmosphere and also laid back. People are generally friendly, the teachers are nice, and it's a beautiful campus. Overall, it's been a great experience!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Virginia Western has great tuition prices, and I feel it has been worth it in order to work towards getting my Associates Degree. I think it is very reasonable and great for people who are not able to afford the outrageous prices at other universities.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do research on the teachers. I would say 85% of them are excellent, but every now and then you might run into a bad one. Also, if you are planning to transfer, I would suggest not only talking to a counselor at VWCC but also the school you are planning on attending. Transferring has proven to be difficult at times so it is best to make sure you are taking the right classes from the very beginning!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Virginia Western is great for people who are a little more laid back and who are looking to work hard, but ultimately earn a quick degree. It is also great for people who are looking to pay reasonable prices for tuition.
