申请点评
- Academic Flexibility: All of the teachers, advisers and department heads are enjoyable to talk to if you need help. I was having schedule problems with work around exam time, and anyone that I needed to talk to was so understanding. Advisers are always willing to help anytime they are on campus and will take how ever long you need to sit down with you. Not only that, but just the environment in general is good to be in.
- Overall Experience: While I gave up the opportunity to attend a four year university, this college has really benefited me greatly as far as preparing me for the transition. The camaraderie of the school makes it unique, where nobody feels like a stranger. If I had the choice to redo WPCC again, I would, perhaps with a different pathway in mind.
- Campus Quality: The overall external look is a beautiful sight, though signs of aging inside the building are apparent. Socially, students are friendly and cohesive.
- Academic Experience: To begin with the negative, registration can be a huge hassle, especially if classes are removed from the schedule without consulting the student first. However, all of that aside, the curriculum is good, professors are friendly and easy to reach, the workload varies depending on the teacher, and there is an abundance of classes. *(4)
