Arianna - 01/17/2021

I believe that Mohawk Valley Community College has a lot of potential. The structure and environment in the school are almost friendly yet the campus life seems distant. I wish there was more interaction between the students and the teachers. The teachers seem to be lacking drive when it comes to teaching classes and a few of them are apathetic.

Faculty and Staff are there to help students any way they can. Instructors are available through office hours and email. There are several events going on Campus each semester. Great College to attend in order to obtain a certificate or/and an Associates degree.

I think it is a decent school but I would much rather be on a bigger campus in New York City with new people. Many of the people there are people I went to high school with and I would rather go to a new school so I can meet new school and build new experiences and memories. It gives me the chance to live a little and I Take online classes so i’m Not on campus often

B

Some of the faculty are good, but safety in this campus is one of my main concerns. When I reported my case of molestation to the college, nothing was done. My case was ignored in favor of the student who hurt me, so my reporting the case had gone to waste. The people who tried to help me could only do so much; the persons who were supposed to help me didn't even TRY. So if safety is also a concern of yours, BEWARE.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I would tell myself to learn to better manage my time. I would also tell myself to not ignore my online classes, and to do the discussion board questions. I didn't realize until it was too late how badly that would set me back. Lastly, I would tell myself to not be afraid to ask questions, because that is what the professors are hired to do. My first year, I was so shy and nervous that I did not ask many questions, and I feel like I would have had a much better experience if I had kept all this in mind.

That really catches their attention and they certainly find out if they can do the same thing I am doing, with the program or major they want to persue.

  8. Describe the students at your school.

    Meeting different types of people in college was refreshing. There is such a huge change going from high school - with all its groups and ranks into college where everyone in your class is at the same level as you are. Some of the people you meet will influence you for the rest of your life. In a way it is terrifying but at the same time there is an adventure to be had in every new classroom! Life is like an empty book and high school was just a dark chapter but college is the chapter that changes your life.

You have the added of comfort of knowing that if you keep up with the guidelines the university you want to attend sets in the transfer agreement, all your credits and most importantly you should be able to tranfer with no problem.
