Graduate Student: I absolutely loved my time at North Seattle College. The advisors and counselors, as well as the other student resource staff were all wonderful and helpful. All of the professors I had were amazing, and really took the time to make sure students were learning the materials, rather than focusing on grades. The course flexibility was fantastic, I could do a combination of on-campus and online classes, take classes at night, or even take a break from school, come back and pick up where I left off! The campus in the spring and summertime is gorgeous, and I would absolutely recommend North Seattle College to anyone looking to continue their education.... Read 236 reviews

Sophomore: Instructors, staff, and administrators are all really helpful at Lake Washington Institute of technology. I started taking classes for one program in 2018, and then switched to two other programs in 2022, and for the entire time I've been attending classes there, I've always received a lot of support. The college is very inclusive and you really get the feeling everyone there is on your team and wants you to succeed. There is help for any student, and where to get help is shared regularly and widely across the campus. They also strive not only for their own sustainability as a college, but to instill sustainability practices throughout the college in all staff and students. As I've studied here I've learned to grow and develop so many areas of my life aside from just my education and career goals.... Read 206 reviews

Sophomore: I have taken mostly science courses at Shoreline Community College, the best part of which has been the amazing teachers! The small class sizes have given me the opportunity to work one-on-one with professors that have doctorates in chemistry, anatomy and physiology, cellular biology, and microbiology. When I say that I leave every single class with new information, I mean it. No exaggerations. As far as change goes, I would love to see the buildings and equipment get some much needed updates. Our microbiology lab caught on fire this last quarter and we lost our microscopes, lab coats and goggles, in-person class time, and so much more. I'm proud to say that Shoreline runs in my family (my dad attended in the 1970s). If I could get a doctorate from this school, I absolutely would.... Read 335 reviews

Sophomore: Everett Community College is a lovely modern campus with beautiful and diverse landscaping, it's very beautiful to walk around. The professors are exceptional and truly want their students to succeed, its apparent through their willingness to meet with students at office hrs and answer questions. The student resources are quite helpful, I've personally utilized several, such as the computer lab, student advising, etc. The one thing that comes to mind that would improve my experience at Everett would be more student events. Events and reasons for the students to come together, network, get their minds off the stress of college, in a safe and meaningful way.... Read 726 reviews

Sophomore: I have had a great time at Olympic College. Although I attended school prior, in 2018, I came back for a new degree path, and they were very helpful and understanding to accommodate me. Any time I had questions or needed help everyone was very helpful, nice, and respectful! I wish I could continue my education here, but I have to transfer for higher education. I love Olympic college, student, and staff!... Read 802 reviews
