All but one of my professors was excellent. Of course that one professor was teaching the one class I really needed to excel in so I had to stay in her class. After a 6 week absence we were so behind we had to skip a chunk of the materials and the administrators were not helpful at all. Of course this is a one time thing because the rest of my professors were excellent.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
With such an excellent demographic make-up it's difficult to not meet new people. Some of these people are the best people I have ever met and have learned valuable lessons from. The campus is also beautiful with many places to have a study break. The only downside is that it misses some of those classic college experiences that some students seek.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Going to a school such as Western Nevada College is an excellent way to save on money. Many basic level classes at this school are the exact same content and difficulty-wise as top-flight universities so you might as well take them where they are cheaper. Also, if you rake up enough scholarships, you get a nice check back from the financial office that you can really use for anything.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
It really isn't just a community college. I took 18 credits my first semester thinking that since this school is practically a community college so I would be able to pass every class without a sweat. It turns out I was wrong. I passed all my class yet the classes were more difficult than I was expecting.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Anyone seeking to go to school for the first time or looking to go back.
