Small class sizes and helpful professors are great! Most I've encountered really want you to succeed. The tuition is not very high and Wenatchee is a nice place to live, if you can find a reasonably priced apartment. I did not play sports for WVC but most athletes I know seem to enjoy their time here.
Review Wenatchee Valley College
I liked this school. The academics were pretty good and challenging at times which is what I needed. The professors could have been a little bit more helpful at times, but that's the way it is with schools sometimes. The campus is really nice for a small town, and it was easy to find my way around to all my different classes. They were helpful in getting me the information that I needed to have for running start and made it go a lot smoother for me. My overall experience from this college was good. Coming to this school after going to a high school that was merely adequate may have made it seem that much better, but if anything, it allowed me to really understand what it was like to be more on my own for school. On top of all of this, the staff and other students were nice to me as a whole and made my experience at this school enjoyable.
I have attending the LPN-RN transition program waiting to go into the 2nd year RN program. All the staf have been very supportive and the instruction meteral have been very easy to understand, I recommend Wenatchee Vallley college to anyone who is interested in attending
