My husband was a student 2.5 years ago and attempted to be a student this semester. He said his experience taking classes here was outstanding. All his professors were knowledgeable and passionate, the courses were interesting and appropriate level of difficulty. This semester however they dropped the ball. They told him that he needed to reapply since it had been over 2 years since his last course. He reapplied and heard nothing back. Weeks of him constantly calling, the semester already starting, and they kept redirecting him to a voicemail and everyone he spoke to claimed they were unable to help him. Finally one of the phone calls lead him to his student ID so he assumed he was accepted and was just never notified (by phone, email or mail - nothing). Then he finally gets a call back from someone who said "oh you've been a student in our system since the end of August, weird no one let you sign up for classes... well signs up ended yesterday so sorry."
One of the things that makes Naugatuck Valley Community College so great is its passion for innovation. They are strong because of their diversity and all of the resources you might need to succeed are here for you. Also, the administration, staff and faculty are more than happy to help. To make the best of your college experience, I would recommend that you get involved: there are many activities on campus to attend and clubs to join. Also, there is so much opportunity. Even scholarships. I love this college and so will you.
The Electrical Engineering Technology program is ABET accredited, so that's nice. You'll find that most professors are great here. Only had maybe 1 or 2 that weren't that good. I will say that the financial aid office is not very helpful. Seems that whenever I call, somehow no one knows how to help me. I called once for information on getting leftover grant money moved to another semester, as I had done in a previous semester. According to who I talked to, they've never done that... OK. So I asked about paying it out... She said they'd send a check. Well, its been 5 months... Wheres my $8?! I recommend not calling the financial aid office about financial aid... That said, everything else is great and I'd recommend this to anyone looking for an Associates Degree.
I went to this school for 2 years after getting out of the military. If you are a veteran looking to use your GI Bill. I strongly suggest you go else where. Myself and several of my veteran friends have had horrible experiences with this school and it's supposed veteran advisors. The lack of caring or concern is troubling to say the least. I've gone to another university and the difference was astounding.
Excellent caring staff. I completed my Associate's degree here and am proud to say so. I did have a couple of professors who phoned it in, but I found that 98% were professional and strove for you to learn and excel.
