10 Students rated Vernon College

Audrey-Ann - 11/11/2024

Vernon College is a good place to get a quick education. However, if you're looking for the "college experience" or a lively campus, Vernon is not the one. It has good qualities such as small class sizes which allow for better communication with professors and it's fairly easy to contact them as well. With all that said, I would place Vernon as the least appealing option in terms of a college I could see myself going to after high school.

Tiffany - 06/01/2020

Vernon college give people a great opportunity to further their education, even if they didn't have great grades in high school. The instructors are amazing and really care about their students. the facility provides plenty of resources for the students to learn and grown. the Library is a little small but other than that Vernon college is a great place to receive great education and pursue your career path

Kayleigh - 04/21/2020

They are a great school for the price. Perfect for those who wish to keep their education cheap or if you want to take some classes to transfer to a bigger school. Their online classes are easy to follow along and the professors usually know their students well with the small class sizes.

Katie - 02/25/2020

The school is okay, the classes are small which makes the professor more approachable and personal about what is going on. I go to the out of town campus so there is not any on-campus housing. There is a mall near the school so that a plus. The campus is in one building, so it is really easy to go from class to class.
