    While attending, I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity that I saw across campus grounds. Despite it being a community college, there were always events going on and activities that were meant to get the students involved. The campus was very beautiful compared to other schools that I visited, and the local area is very safe. If you love the outdoors, such as hiking, fishing, skiing, or rock climbing then it's a plus! While the dorms could improve and expand, Wenatchee Valley College is very affordable and off-campus housing is as well. The academics were pretty good while I attended there and the college offered many classes, whether it be online, during the morning, or during the night. It was an overall well-rounded community college with a friendly and helpful staff!

    I have really enjoyed my experience so far at Wenatchee valley college. The campus is beautiful. It is surrounded by mountains and it is in a very good area. The people are so friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful. I have been very impressed with the academics and the help that is offered at the school. All of the professors I have encountered have been very nice and supported. I am currently finishing my prerequisites to apply for the Radiologic technology program in the spring. I would highly recommend people coming to Wenatchee valley college, they wont regret it.
    They have a great variety of courses to choose from ! Most of these courses are transferable which is great for students who want to transfer to another college or university. They also offer many AA degrees which can match almost perfectly with the program you're transferring into!
