Northwest-Shoals Community College Reviews
Rating 4.1 out of 5 178 reviews
Northwest-Shoals community college has been my home since graduating from high school in 2021. I completed all of my basics at shoals with the original plan of going into diagnostic imaging or sonography. Fast forward and now I am beginning my first semester of registered nursing school at NWSCC in the fall 2023 semester. I have not had any personal issues with any of the teachers or staff at the Shoals campus. They have all been eager to be a part of my learning process and for that I am very grateful. Staff of the financial aid department is always very helpful with assisting me in getting government FASFA money and helping me learn to apply to the right scholarships. Thank you NWSCC for all of your help with my college success!
NWSCC has a wonderful staff and professors that assisted me in all aspects of my educational journey. The class sizes are small which enables a student to be engaged during lectures, discussing questions and ideas in the classroom settings. Each professor is very accessible and willing to help. They want their students to be successful.
The school offers different events for students to be engaged in the campus life such as Spring Fling. As an ambassador, I have gained experience as a leader as well. This program has given me opportunities to volunteer my time giving back to the community and to others. It has allowed me the opportunity to meet new people and make lasting friendships. I will forever be grateful for my time there and all the opportunities that were afforded to me.

I really love going to Northwest Shoals! The teachers are easy to work with and they make sure you never struggle. I am very thankful for the teachers I've had so far. Although, I wish they advertised for things going on, on campus a little more so people could socialize, I am glad I chose to go to Northwest Shoals.
