申请点评

Overall Experience: It's unique because there are teachers who are willing to help you when needed. It's also unique because of the environment and the community is great. I would choose this school again but they need to improve something to help make it a better school.
Academic Flexibility: The academic flexibility was pretty solid. I didn't have any problems that I can remember.
Academic Experience: Being a business major was a pretty good experience for me. The teachers at West Valley were great and helped me learn real-life applications for what we were learning. The only thing that could have used improvement were the facilities, since the business building seems pretty aged.
Academic Experience: Overall, the academics at West Valley were great. I enjoyed most of all the ability to choose and connect with specific teachers who taught their subjects well. Registration was pretty smooth as well; I did not have any problems, so I think that's a success!*(3)
