Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Outstanding community college with fantastic professors. The courses offered are limited which is to be expected in a city the size of Wenatchee. However, the professors are approachable, caring, and insightful.
Tips for prospective students Keep your priorities straight. It is easy to want to go out and hit the party scene; however, it is far more beneficial to do so in moderation with school work. Also, it always helps to actually show up to class and listen to the professor's lectures.
Academic Rigor The classes really are not difficult at all if you pay attention in class and study your notes/text.
Dorm Life The dorms are very well kept and maintained. I did not make use of them but I heard relatively good reviews.
Food and Dining Typical food restaurants located throughout the city of Wenatchee. The town is relatively small so do not expect to be dining at 5 star cuisines.
What to do for fun Bowling, movie theater, basketball courts, soccer fields, river, Lake Chelan, and climbing Saddle Rock.
Bang for the buck Going to community college saves students thousands of dollars and gives them their basic GURs. In addition, being a student at WVC allows students free transportation on Link Transit buses which I make heavy use of.
Great for these types of students Students interested in nursing, general business, and criminal justice. Also, WVC is good for anyone who wants to save money while taking some basic classes for transfer to a university.
Clubs and Activities There is a student council and a few other christian organizations. However, there are a very limited amount of clubs and activities.
Greek Life Very little at all.
Campus Safety There are numerous security guards constantly paroling the campus. There has never once been an issue while I have attended the school.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences In my first seven months of college I have found that everyone is helpful. I feel I am being urged to excel in my education and it feels good. I love the positive attitude from the teachers and staff, no question goes unanswered.
Tips for prospective students Ask questions. Be tuned in to what is being taught, even if it isn't your favorite subject you ARE going to learn something. Don't be afraid to approach your instructor if you are struggling, they are always positive and encouraging.
Food and Dining They do have a great cafeteria and pretty reasonably priced!
What to do for fun There are many activities and clubs. Find one that interests you and just go! The Praise Center has a college aged ministry there on the third Thursday of every month!

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot For a community college, WVC is fine, but nothing too special in academics. There are some really good teachers here who will make you enthusiastic about their subject matter. There are also some truly bad teachers, but you'll learn quickly who to take and who not to take-students are vocal about how they feel about their teachers.
Am enjoying being here Most people here are friendly and approachable. I love the size of the school and wouldn't change that at all. There are some cliques, but as long as you stay smart and make friends with people who are here to learn, you will enjoy WVC. The professors are almost always ready to help you and most of them want you to succeed and will work hard to do their part in that process.
Bang for the buck WVC is cheap!
Tips for prospective students Don't take other student's advice on teachers too seriously--some just don't want to learn in the first place and then blame the teacher. Enjoy it here! Take hard classes and learn to ask hard questions.
Great for these types of students Almost anyone would do well here. (The exception being if you are expecting a rigorous education-which WVC can't provide.)

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The teachers here a great for the most part. I like most of the teachers and the class sizes stay relatively small. I have only had one teacher that I did not care for, but I still passed the class. Every teacher I have had has been very open to helping every student with anything they need. Most teachers have an open door during their office hours and you can go get help with anything you need.
Am enjoying being here The college is very fun. I play basketball here and it is a blast. Wenatchee is a nice town, not to big but not to small. The school puts on some great events, including dances and open mics. The sporting events are pretty fun to watch and most of the sports teams are very good.
Bang for the buck I believe that a community college is definitely the way to go for your first two years. You pay considerably less than at a four year college while still getting a great education. I think coming here eased me into college with smaller class sizes and saved me a lot of money compared to a bigger college.
Tips for prospective students I would definitely suggest signing up for classes as soon as you can. The class sizes are kept small so sometimes they fill up very fast. Everyone on campus is very nice and friendly and you can ask anyone for help.
Great for these types of students This school is great for student athletes and students of any kind. There are students from many different backgrounds here and all of them seem to be doing fine.
