[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took a couple classes as an adult at NOVA after already having a 4 year degree at both Annandale and Alexandria campuses.

As a parent, I wouldn’t allow my child to attend NOVA but we did look at some other 2 year community colleges besides NOVA that had slightly better outcomes and a more traditional full time student population.

The classes are not on par with a 4 yr college classes. The classes at the 100 level were what you would expect at the high school level. By the 3rd week at least half the class had stopped showing up. [b]Talking to those in the class a lot of them worked and just choose work over school[/b]. And then some were really struggling bc English was not their first language I think very few students are going full time and focusing solely on school.

Check your privilege. This likely wasn't a "choice" [/quote]

Students whose families can't or won't support them through college have access to financial resources from the college. We're living in 2024, not 1924. The days where educational systems punish kids from poor families for something beyond their control are long gone.[/quote]
