Virginia Peninsula Community College - Hampton, Virginia

Your college is an stupid school. Because an staff called the police on a good student. Just because that student freshen up in the restroom. Partially washing there long pants; and pulling on an poncho on. I can see i am not wanted there. So, now i am going to an free online school. Saving me lots of money, time, and travels.

Misinformation is the hallmark to this institution. The lack of integrity, pursuit of excellence when communicating expectations for career planning and taking classes, and the laziness and apathy experienced with the academic advisors updating records is astounding.

I recommend skipping this institution to 'get ahead' and 'save money.' Go to a different community college or bigger college/university.

They're willing to misinform you on the front-end to funnel more students through their lackluster programs, even if it costs you the consumer, tons of more time and money. I could've saved a lot of money and time going directly to my desired location; what's worse, is the advisors and professors told me otherwise. Pure greed and lack of compassion. Taking advantage of other's lack of information for a quick dollar is like 'selling one's soul to the devil.'

I am almost done with my degree but I just wanted to share this. The teachers are great but the school is not. All they care is about money and they don’t even have the time to contact you and ask how are you doing with classes. Not a single advisor has messaged me or called me. I have tried multiple times to get a message back and nothing. I feel like they just wanted my money and didn’t care about my progress as a student. I don’t even know how I’m doing academically, when I’m graduating. I only got help from student services and no advising. Their appointments never work online and when I call is always something. I have emailed my advisor and nothing. They set me up with an advisor and no reply back. Honestly the classes are good but it really makes you feel like you are doing everything alone. If I could give a 0 I would but I feel like the teachers care about the students so I’m given 2 stars.

I attended this college just to take some courses of interest as I already have my degrees. What looked like an okay college
turned out to be one of the worst educational institutes I've ever seen. It's a horrific college that treats the students poorly. No one answers the phone, no one calls you back, emails are not returned. Impossible to get help if issues arise. Only one person I spoke with out of a dozen was polite, everyone else was rude, hostile, and disrespectful. DO NOT ATTEND. DO NOT SUPPORT.

Contacted Financial Aid through chat for questions. The individual I chatted with was helpful but some questions she could not answer and said it would require someone more "knowledgeable" for me to talk to. She said someone should be contacting me within 5 days, well, it's been 2 months and no one has contacted me. This happened twice when I needed further assistance and no help!

Professors are decent and some are exceptionally talented. However, when it comes to office staffs, it's pretty nasty. I mean, very underwhelming service. You get responses with an attitude and tries to reroute your calls to voicemails. Plenty of parking spaces. Labs are okay. If you can dodge your involvement with office staffs as much as possible, it will be alright. I had many horrible experiences with them which I don't wanna mention here.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE: The administration of this school is terrible. All they seem to care about is getting people to sign up for classes and pulling in the $. My daughter signed up for three classes for the fall semester. When she went to attend two of her classes there was a sign on the door that the classes were cancelled because they didn't have instructors. What sort of college can't schedule instructors for the classes they advertise in their course catalogue? Her third class was placed online because again, no instructor. When she went online, it was a canned class with no instructors, only daily tasks. What sort of college allows you to register for in person classes, only to divert you to an online platform at the last minute? That should never happen and it begs the question of who is managing this place? Needless to say we asked for our money back. Never seen a more disorganized and poorly managed college in my life.

I would not recommend. Submits paperwork to the VA late which results in GI BILL payment delays to students. Based on previous reviews, its not uncommon for the administrative staff to drag their feet.
