In my last years of high school, I didn't know what I wanted to do for a career.
My mom suggested powerline, as she works for the City of Forest City, and all of their linemen are outdoorsmen like me, and they love their jobs. I gave it a lot of thought, then decided to apply to Sheldon. As it took a year to get into NW Iowa, I used that year to get my welding degree at NIACC to complement my powerline. Sheldon is a top-rated school for powerline, and everyone I graduated with were able to secure great jobs because of the education they received there. I lived on campus in the newest dorms, which turned out great, and I made many lasting friendships. The teachers are top-notch and know their stuff. Northwest Iowa Community College gave me an excellent education that I am now using with the Missouri Valley Union Apprenticeship Program, which provides excellent wages, benefits, and priceless work experience! Thank you to NW Iowa for starting me on the career of a lifetime.

I was strictly online and not on-campus because I lived out of state. This college has no scholarship support for a person in the associate degree program attending online and being out of state. The professors were a hit or a complete miss. I am a student that needed accommodations for a disability and it went okay but having a few professors that lacked in a good turnaround time in emails or simply didn't take pride in their position made things complicated but a few professors were very understanding. I was a 4.0 GPA student who attended PTK honor society but I felt very unsupported as an online student because the students on campus were very cliche so holding a position with the club seemed impossible to achieve. My advisor was really nice but I got frustrated with him a few times. The business office ladies are really nice but I never really had to talk with them until I needed to transfer my transcript. The college is geared towards a more on campus lifestyle.
Best Community College in the area. With the program I am going into they have everything updated to the latest technology!
