Marissa - 05/30/2018

I am excited to receive my degree at this school. The staff seems to be very helpful and have been able to answer any questions that I may have had along the way. There are plenty of resources and the classes are fairly small to ensure that every student receives as much attention as possible in order to properly learn.

Brittany - 05/17/2018

Since beginning my academic adventure at WCU-Ontario, I have been incredibly grateful for the opportunities I have been presented. Before attending, I was struggling to enter basic science courses needed for nursing, and felt defeated because my GPA was not high enough. However, WCU-Ontario helped me find that desire to push through with my dreams, and made me realize that I am more than a GPA score, I am an aspiring nursing with a passion to educate others in their health journeys! Thank you very much to the faculty of WCU-Ontario for making my dreams feel much more like a reality!

Rachel - 05/11/2018

The school does a great job of preparing students for the NCLEX. GE classes are fairly easy; some may be challenging but there are many resources to utilize so that we are successful! Class sizes vary, but they are kept at a good, small size so we have a good learning environment and can connect with the professor. Professors are nice and most offer tutoring outside of class, which is very helpful. The school is very clean. The library is small, but there are other provided seating around the campus like tables or couches. It is very safe; the security guards do a really great job of keeping our school safe.
