Why did you choose Fox Valley Technical College?

I chose FVTC because I have heard great things about the school. I was genuinely interested in going back to school to earn a degree, so when I found out about this college, I knew it was going to be the perfect fit. The classes were very accommodating to my schedule, which was important.

FVTC has really helped me towards my goal of getting my associate degree in Communications. Everyone that I have met through the school was honest and real. The faculty and staff truly want to see students succeed. The school has really made me see what I am passionate about.
