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".
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.
Phenomenal staff! Super helpful and competent even throughout the pandemic. Thanks, WCC. Can't wait to start in the Fall!
