Everyone that I have interacted with that is associated with WCC has been pleasant, helpful, and informative/knowledgeable. The only thing that I struggled with was the need to have multiple accounts to sign into and potentially have messages, announcements, or notifications. This was my first quarter as a returning student though. Some of the enrolling processes were difficult when it was done all online or over the phone. Some of the ratings I am supposed to answer below are not applicable so I wasn't able to answer truthfully. I have no experience with the physical campus or the "school scene".
Excellent program, great safe area! It is affordable and they are very supportive of your future. I recommend this for anyone!! I believe they have a new BA of business program as well.
They have housing since it is school attended by many international students, so that is a great option as housing is pretty expensive in the area. The focus on diversity and cultural humility is great.
Bellingham has a great vibe.
It is an nice place to save money. I loved the online and in person options. I do not know what their current covid protocols are.
Books are easy to rent or buy online, you can use their book store but it is more expensive.
Campus life is calm and relaxed, people are very nice.
Parking has gotten way better over the years, but get there early to be safe. You may have to walk.
They have a coffee place and restaurants nearby. Many places in the area give student discounts as well, don't forget to ask!!!!

Whatcom has a wonderful staff and is in a nice area for those looking for the college experience without the bulk of Seattle. Theres many good places for food with in walking distance and plenty of night time activities in the city. The professors were all enthusiastic about teaching and accommodating of those needing help. The math department was the only department that left much to be desired, but I only had two teachers for the whole department and don’t want to lessen my opinion for a mediocre course. Advisors are all helpful at helping you achieve your goals and the staff are friendly. I would definitely recommend this college and am sad to be leaving.
