There are so many things I appreciate about Irvine Valley College. One thing that really stands out to me is how helpful they are when it comes to transferring. They provide you with special programs such as the honors program, promise program, honors to honors program, etc. It helped me challenge myself as a new student going into college and I felt supported by the faculty because I felt that they wanted me to succeed. They have a lot of study areas on campus and since the environment is so safe, I feel safe staying on campus for long hours at a time. They also have food trucks, a coffee truck, a cafeteria with vending machines, energy drinks, a prayer room, etc. Another thing I appreciate is how diverse it is. I have never felt out of place because there is truly a community for everyone if you just put yourself out there and get involved in the clubs they offer. Overall, I have had an amazing experience at Irvine Valley College so far!
I am 61 years old and loving my experience at IVC. Irvine Valley College has been the greatest gift to my life since my husband's passing. It has given me an opportunity to educate myself, and to understand the current world (which has changed significantly in my lifetime). I enrolled in the paralegal certificate program and will now transfer with an AS degree, my American Red Cross CPR certification, and Mind Body and Paralegal certificates. I am the greatest advocate to anyone needing support and direction in life, to return to school. It will boost self-confidence and promote productive and progressive living.
The one thing I would like to see changed is offering or mandating an entry course that helps students with self-confidence, discipline and interpersonal relations. Most of the classes I took in the Mind-Body curriculum contained this valuable content and it would be wonderful for all students to learn more about their personal well-being and interacting with others.

Overall, a great community college for transfers. The faculty seem to genuinely care about students overall, but connecting with peers can prove to be a challenge, since many students just attend classes and leave. Social life can be scant, and being part of a club really only helps so much. The academics were strong and the campus overall safe and secure (albeit a bit small).
