Clueless advisors, reps and faculty members that don't know how to respond to emails or answer phones. Their 2 year degrees take more than two years because they advise you poorly on scheduling classes. This school tried dropping surprise tuition charges on my account and they tried negating my financial aid because their financial aid rules on the website are vague or they contradict their own rules and the CSCU rules for the whole state. If you send an appeal expect to be waiting weeks on end while playing phone tag or getting no answer, only for your appeal to be denied anyway. Now they've outsourced their admissions phone line to a call center, so I imagine it's only gotten worse. Also, they offer no meal plans and the food is overpriced. Save your money and effort and study somewhere else if you can.

At first, I was against going to a Community College. I wanted the University experience of an college, but I realized going to a community is the best thing for me. It's small, affordable and you will be able to engage a lot more due to the size of the classrooms and school. Naugatuck is really helpful when it comes to their students.

NVCC is pretty much your average joe of colleges. It’s the college you don’t want to go to growing up because you’d rather be in a prestigious vintage old timey college that has large rooms and vaulted ceilings and gargoyles around the school, the kind you see in movie portrayal of college. But instead NVCC ends up being your college because you realize you’d rather be close to home around the people you love.

Naugatuck Valley is a great school to attend, if you are not sure what you want to major in. The teachers and tutors at the school are always there to help keep you on track. The staff genuinely cares about their students and values their opinion. There is mutual respect between staff and students here.

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

    I attended two weeks of my high school senior year before I was admitted into a detox for substance abuse. After detox, I went to a wilderness program twice, had a two week stay in a hospital again, and went to two different residential treatment programs. I entered into the second program in late winter. While in the program I attended an adult school for my diploma and took classes at the local community college. I completed a year of high school within a few months and graduated on schedule. My intellect and acadmic ability allowed for me to complete my education at that time, but I struggled emotionally with an anxiety disorder and bi-polar. This eventually became disabling. A few years ago I was single and pregnant and with that pregnancy a lot changed. The bi-polar was gone, the anxiety became manageable and I went back to school last Spring. I currently have a 4.0. In March I turn thirty and if given the chance to go back, I would tell myself anything is possible, to just hold on during the roughest times, and its never too late to turn your life around. "Never Give Up."
