CT State Community College: Quinebaug Valley - Danielson, Connecticut

I am a current student here at QVCC, and I love it here! It's a small campus with a friendly community. If you put yourself out there it's relatively simple to get involved in extracurriculars.

I absolutely love this college and everything it has done for me, as well as for our community. They do so much outreach into the community and involve everyone in so many wonderful events. They work so hard to ensure everyone who attends graduates without college debt.

I studied here for 5 or 6 years part-time to earn my Associate's Degree, and I really enjoyed my entire experience. The professors were mostly professionals from the community (at least for the night classes I usually took), and they had such a down-to-earth way of connecting what you were learning to what goes on in the real world. The staff was great at providing the information I needed and were always available to help me navigate what needed to be done to keep on course.

After graduating, the alumni team has been awesome in keeping me connected, and the alumni relations team and directors have been so passionate and wonderful. Anyone who knows Monique knows she is one of the most passionate people you will ever meet, and now Sarah also brings in her own energy and enthusiasm. Really wonderful people and a true asset to our community.

The college also supports our local community and businesses. I own The Sunshine Shop right up the road with my wife, and QVCC always shops local and often with us when sourcing flowers or plants for their events, keeping the dollars in the community and supporting local businesses, families, and - in this case - a QVCC alum.

We're so lucky to have this college as a resource in our community, to help our neighbors earn degrees or certificates that will go so far to better their lives and strengthen community. And what a wonderful bonus that the college is comprised of so many incredible and passionate people who really go above and beyond to make sure the college is connected and engaging their community in such meaningful ways.

For years I have been recommending QVCC to so many people, and will continue to do so. If you're thinking about going here, I definitely encourage you to reach out to their team and get started!

I don’t regret going here because I did learn some things. I had an amazing English teacher, professor Lisa Adase. Other than her, the school doesn’t care about you. If you’re struggling and have a disability, it is up to YOU to take care of things. I switched to a trade school and the new school is so helpful. They’re the ones who watch out for you and show encouragement. The teachers and staff are there every step of the way. They’re happy with their jobs unlike QVCC staff. The learning management system is terrible. Each teacher sets up their course differently which is confusing and unorganized. My new school has Canvas which is a lifesaver because every course is outlined the same way. Makes it so much easier to know what’s due and when. Consistency is important. I am now getting A’s and B’s which makes me happy to realize that it wasn’t me that was the problem , it was QVCC. All I needed was caring staff and organization.

Your disability coordinator is rude. She does not deal with students that have ABI with short term memory deficit.
Very rude to caregiver who tried to set up a meeting. Also rude to her brother.
She needs to learn to LISTEN AND RESPECT OTHERS.

Okay school, website is horrible. Nice main campus (Danielson) but it's not good enough to be successful. They don't specify their hours and the Willimantic campus is just a boring building in Main St, it doesn't have much to do. The Danielson campus sign is hard to see, so it's easy to miss when driving. Food is really good, not a lot of activitie, most professors are very good but everything about this school could use a lot of improvement.
