Nebo, Valencia City, with an area of 10.24 km2, which includes farmlands, forests, and ranch lands ideal for industry work.

It is situated between the Kitanglad and Kalatungan mountain ranges and bordered on the north by the Manupali River and on the south by the Anasag and Malingon creeks.

An annex campus is located in Bagontaas, Valencia City, which is occupied by the School of Nursing.

The residence buildings originally sported the ubiquitous white coloring with green trimmings.

On the other hand, relationships between members and non-members vary from simple face-recognition to the intimate, as inter-group dating is frowned upon.

Service, outreach, and ministerial organizations include: Hilltop Amateur Radio Team (HART), LIGHT, Master Guides, Ministerial Seminar, Peer Counselors, Regeneration, Rescue 741, Seekers for Truth, Student Association of Literature Evangelists (SALE), and SULADS.

Also featured at MVC are a number of student publications, both current and defunct: BEAMS, Dots and Dashes, Hilltop Flashes, Hilltop Slashes, Non-Linear Points, The Orchid, Outreach, Newsprint, Pencil, The Sentry, and The Views.

The main campus is accessible by public utility jeeps that regularly travel to and from Poblacion, Valencia City.

However, for private vehicles, the campus is linked to the national highway at two points: one in Bagontaas, Valencia City, which has a travel distance of 14 kilometres (8.7 mi), and another in Balila, Lantapan, which has a travel distance of 3.9 kilometres (2.4 mi) from the main campus.

Only commuting students compose the bulk of passengers traveling to and from the campus on a daily basis.

However, some students still opt to access the internet through any of the locally available service providers due to speed and filtering issues.

Despite having two hydroelectric plants, the power supply remains unstable at times, making uninterruptible internet access impossible.

The roads, paths, and walkways crisscrossing the entire campus make it conducive for jogging, brisk walking, or running.

Given the number of waterfalls located close to the campus, falls-hopping is also considered a recreational activity.

Most students are active in religious, livelihood, and health outreach to the neighboring sitios and barangays.

These locations are often accessible via mountain trails, and sometimes require wading waist-deep across icy-cold creeks and rivers.
