    The learning environment at WNCC is fantastic. Low student to teacher ratios and the professors and staff at the college a super kind and helpful.

    There are students from all over the world at WNCC which is different for a small campus. It adds so much diversity and it is neat to meet people from all over the world.
    The campus climate and culture is so positive. A great place to learn and grow as a person.
    The only downfall is the food but I think after your away from home everybody misses home cooking!

    Teachers and classes offered are wonderful! They work well with the local high schools to ensure students get a head start in their academic careers. Transferring to a larger university is a breeze, someone on campus is always willing to help you out.
    They are very open to you on campus, with the students and professors alike willing to help you as long as you put in the effort. Enjoyable classes with a diverse amount of work. Accepting to all, and they accept multiple opinions. Dorm life is good, if not a bit rowdy.
