If communing with nature is your thing, NVCC has 14 beautiful gardens in which to study, recharge, or meet with friends.
Get Involved
Whether it's interactive media, music, chess, participating in student government, or volunteering, our clubs offer dozens of ways for you to connect with other students that share your interests
Whether it’s hanging out at our “Coachella-themed” Spring Fling outdoor festival in May, participating in our quarterly open-mic night of poetry, “Confluencia,” checking out a dance performance by our Terpsichorean Dance Club, or being a member of NVCC’s martial arts club that piques your interest, there’s always something going on around campus, whatever your tastes or interests might be.
A Home Away from Home
Many students say that what they love most about NVCC is that it is their home away from home. At NVCC, you’re not simply a commuter. Enjoy a relaxing coffee break at NVCC's Cafe West, work on that important end-of-the-semester paper at the learning commons or one of the carrels in library, or meet friends for a casual get-together at the Prism Lounge in the Student Center. As part of our 50th year anniversary celebration in 2017 we unveiled and opened the Joseph V. Faryniarz Quad--an open, outdoor space with a park-like feel where students can play a pick-up game of frisbee or enjoy meals at one of several picnic tables.
A Safe, Supportive, and Nurturing Atmosphere
We are committed to providing a safe and encouraging intellectual environment for students and community members, with a focus on prevention and education that extends beyond the classroom. Some resources that students benefit from are:
