    I enjoyed attending Wayne County Community College District. The instructors that I've had were terrific. They helped me to succeed in all my classes. I wouldn't had received the grades without their help that edge me on to accomplish the courses that I set out to do. They revitalize me, like an awakening to want to do excellently and abundantly of all that I can ask or think accordingly to the power that works in me. I just love this college!

    My experience with applying with Wayne County Community College was more challenging than I assumed it would be. Although the entire process overall went past within a reasonable amount of time, I still feel like was confused the entire time. From the moment that I received a call saying that it's important to register for classes as soon as I can, when I haven't even completed an admissions application yet; I knew the process was going to be really crazy. The registration in the campus is very unorganized and all over the place. If you are expecting to be in and out, you will be very disappointed.
    Wayne County Community College feels like you only go for classes and then you leave the campus. That's not necessarily a bad thing, however, if you're looking for a positive on campus experience (food, parties, diversity, clubs, etc.) Wayne County Community College wouldn't be ideal. On the other hand, if you only care about the academics, it is pretty average. For being in a low-income community, they do their best to keep the academics and their environment safe and clean.
