Wenatchee Valley College has a beautiful campus located in the heart of Wenatchee. The faculty are well-educated, friendly, and enthusiastic about furthering student knowledge, applying their subjects to current events, and mentoring students to higher education. The professors have frequent office hours and are happy to assist students, or just chat about life and goals. The campus is welcoming, with many opportunities for Running Start students, and other transfer students, including some bachelor degree programs offered on campus. The campus has a beautiful Music and Arts building, with naturally-lit studio spaces, practice rooms, a gallery, and a performance hall. The arts faculty are incredibly talented, practicing artists, with inspiring testimonies to share with their students. There are many events put on by the college, and students are encouraged to get involved with athletics, clubs, and social opportunities. There is also information on the website for students to start their own clubs to further connect with peers. Wenatchee Valley College has become a second home to me. In the year I have spent there so far, I have developed great relationships with several faculty members, enjoyed the beautiful indoor and outdoor study spaces, and benefitted from the wide variety of classes they have available.

Reese - 08/27/2024

Wenatchee Valley College is a good college for not only college-age students but also Running Start students. The professors are good at responding to your questions and have variable office hours that students can access on their syllabuses. WVC is a nice college to get an associate's degree.

Averi - 05/09/2024

I am a Running Start student here, and I have enjoyed attending WVC. The class sizes are small, the professors are generally kind and available to help, and the campus is quite peaceful and clean. It was a great community college to obtain my associate's before transferring to a larger state university.

Emily - 03/07/2023

WVC provides an affordable way for people to get an education and pursue their dreams with supportive professors and staff who want to see everyone succeed. The environment is clean, positive, and welcoming. Campus is also super easy to navigate and very safe!
