    During my first year attending WCTC. I can say that the college has excellent academics, positive student life, and safe friendly campus. I have found over the course of two semesters that the amount of resources given to each student to help them succeed is endless! As well as resources, the professors and staff are very helpful in addressing the specific needs of each student. In terms of improvements the college could make, I would like to see an increasing amount of student-run clubs to go along with their academic clubs. If this were improved, I believe that the connection between such a diverse group of students could further grow. Overall I would recommend WCTC to people of all ages looking to have a well-paced, intimate, and successful education.

    I love the atmosphere at WCTC. Between the diversity of students in your class and the excellent professors, I feel that the opportunities are endless at WCTC. Great class size and great opportunities to get a start on your career for the first time or going back to school for a switch in careers. Everyone is there to help!
    The teachers are very friendly and welcoming to the students. They encourage you to seek help and are willing to help you in any way, shape or form you need. They definitely go above and beyond to help their students. The atmosphere is very friendly and it is very easy to make friends with the other students. The cafeteria and smaller cafes on campus are affordable and have excellent food and beverage options. There are clubs available for people to join to get to know other students in their programs and to network and seek advice from those further along. Upon enrollment, you are given 35 dollars in money on your ID card to use for WEPA machines around campus. This is very helpful and there is a WEPA machine on every floor that can be linked to a one drive account. Blackboard and Campus are used by nearly every class to keep you updated on the syllabus, schedule, and necessary course materials and assignments.
