Review of Skagit Valley College

from Camano Island, WA

Will learn a lot

SVC Just built a whole new wing for their Nursing program. SVC is well known for their nursing program, and actually has a wait list to get into!

Will enjoy being here

SVC is a small community college. I will enjoy it because a lot of my friends go their, and all the students at SVC seem so nice and helpful. Its also closer to home, and I can get my RN in 3 years!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

SVC is a little bit cheaper than some of the other community colleges I have looked into. SVC is cheaper, and I will also learn a lot more because their Nursing program is well respected...why should I pay more to go to Everett Community College, drive further and learn less than I would at SVC?

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Really look into the program you want to study in, find out if you will be put on a wait-list so if you do you can ask your counselor to put you on it, and so by the time you start school and get your pre-reqs. done, your name will be on the top. Look for scholarships, there are so many! And definitely ask about financial aid and grants...any bit of money helps!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great! Especially if you want to stay close to home, save some money but still get a great education! I think anyone who wants to go into Nursing/Health Care, this is the school for you! SVCs Nursing/Health Care program is amazing, and they just built a brand new building for it!
