I like Western Nevada College, for reasons that there is a great teacher to student ratio, it is a low cost school, and it prepares me for my pursuit in higher education. I like that I am able to get an education there and that I am helped on how to do so. There is much opportunity for growth among traditional and non-traditional students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are planning to get a bachelors degree, don't just start off at a University that can be expensive while you are figuring out what you want to do at a college. Start at a smaller less expensive school that will transfer to that University that you want to go to. It will also give you time and opportunity to figure out what careers you may want to pursue, all the while not putting you into so much debt.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes at Western Nevada are challenging and may help you to get ahead in life, as well as in your education. The teacher to student ratio is great, because I am always one to have questions and in a large class there may not be enough time or enough of the instructor to go around.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There is a school cafe on campus. It is reasonably priced and the food is excellent.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are some activities outside of the class that you can get involved in. Baseball, school organizations, theatre, or even free workshops to get you that extra knowledge you seek.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Western Nevada College is great for the pursuit in an associates degree or a certificate in a specialized field. The prices are much cheaper than that of a traditional University, so you can get the same classes but for nearly a third of the cost. Plus, nearly everything is transferable to pursue a bachelors degree elsewhere, for those planning to get a 4 year degree.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
None that I know of.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
All types of students are welcome at Western Nevada College. It is best for those that are not traditional students such as: prior military, single parents, those who didn't do so well in high school but want to get an education, older students, young students who work full time, and those going into a trade as opposed to getting a degree.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
This is probably one of the safest campuses you will find. Not only is there campus security, but there is the police academy here, as well as, a lot of prior military students. Because Western Nevada College is in a small town there is a sense of community to the school. People watch out for one another.
