I attended running start and classes after high school at WCC. It was an okay school, but I felt some of the staff were rockstars while others were definitely lacking, and it reflected on my transcript. I loved the atmosphere, the setting, and the gym after the remodel, but it was lacking adequate study areas when I attended. They have built a new area so that has probably helped! It was pretty good but there are definitely other community colleges out there that are a littler higher quality, I believe. Although it was great, I felt it was maybe lacking in student support and follow through and that is also reflected in their graduation rate. Although it is pretty average for a community college, I think there could be more measures in place to try and keep students there long enough to graduate. They were one of the first community colleges to get a cybersecurity program. I took a few business technology courses and they were average. They are a little technologically behind.
The teachers are all extremely well experienced and have the student's interests at heart. The college is a great low cost option with just as many opportunities as any larger colleges in the state. They are currently doing some construction and have recently built several new buildings and amenities. I also live in the dorms which are extremely well kept, the staff is great and helpful, and there are lots of team building events and fun activities within the dorm each month.
Whatcom is a pretty good school for the most part, you can join almost any athletic teams or clubs if you want, they hand out free food during certain hours, most professors are eager to learn and try to reach out to everybody, and all for a reasonable cost. I have been at WCC for two years and had online and in person classes, most people prefer online but the in person classes are suitable as well if you're not into the online movement. The school is very diverse for where it is located and there is lots to do on campus as well.
