I have never once regretted my decision to come to Wilkes Community College. The teachers are amazing, the facilities are all so clean and well kept. There are so many opportunities for extracurricular activities, it is never boring. Choosing Wilkes has been one of the best decisions I have ever made!
Review Wilkes Community College
The teachers are nice and helpful. Many of my teachers are available to help students with homework or just to listen and give advice. Teachers are also comprehensive of scheduling and making sure to post assignments done in class online. I also enjoy seeing the free events the college hosts to the community and how they help out the community by sponsoring various programs such as food bank donations, Angel Tree tags, give a kid a coat, and etc. What makes this school really unique is Merlefest which is a music festival that is known worldwide. This festival has allowed me to meet people of different cultures and a variety of musical, glass, and fine arts artists.
At WCC I have worked towards earning my Associates in Art and am one semester away from earning the degree. WCC has provided me with classes that most of which have been very beneficial. The majority of the professors were always willing to help me in any way possible, whether it was related to the class or unrelated.
