  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)

it is very easy to learn a lot here because of the tiny class sizes and good professors.
Adeline from Shell, WY
High standard academics for a low tuition price. Very enjoyable and friendly environment. Much easier to have one on one time with your professors.
Shelby from Cody, WY
The faculty is great! I have learned a lot since being here on not only the subjects I am studying, but also on how to become a better student! Faculty gives great tips on how to study and be prepared for every aspect of College life.
Justin from Powell, WY
You learn as much as you want to. Today, I learned that Cappex will give me money if I write a better review than everyone else who applies. I am really hoping that that knowledge pays off.
Will Martin
So far I have learned a great deal at NWC - most of my teachers appear to be incredibly well-versed in their subjects, although there are definitely those who are less so. The information is presented well, however, and I haven't had any trouble processing information and keeping up with my class. The teachers are friendly and willing to help you if you ever need any assistance, and are almost always able to work with you personally if need be.
Lorren from Powell, WY
Northwest College has helped me to see my potential in life. I have realized what I need to do to be able to the the degree and job that I want. I have been challenged, and helped along the way, but wouldn't change a thing.
Taylor from Kaysville, UT
on a scale from 1-10, i'd give it a 9. small town loving, clean and beautiful campus! i'd recommend it to anybody who likes feeling like a somebody!
Kiley from Powell, WY
The classes are challenging, but the teachers really push you to succeed.
