Wilkes Community College is a wonderful place to begin a college career at. This school is an A+ school in academics and has wonderful staff and a lovely facility. This college is top grade when it comes to quality of the education.

Tips for prospective students would be to get involved in the student life and interact with the classmates. They will help you along throughout the course of your study and it will be a great experience all together.

Thea academic rigor at this school is not to challenge students in a way that they cannot preform but to challenge them and allow them to prepare for the real world. The rigor at WCC is set by the staff in order to prepare the students.

There is no dorms on the WCC campus.

The dining at WCC is excellent and it is so delicious. The dining facility is out in place so that the culinary student can practice and benefit from feeding there other classmates.

Fun is a word that is all over WCC. This college has tons of fun things to do while on campus. There is the commons area where most students hang out between classes and where they play pool and ping pong. Also there are many club meetings that are free to join and are always welcoming new members. Activities are found throughout campus and are enjoyable to all student.

The bang for the buck at this college is high because not only do you get a great education but you get the experience of a lifetime. The staff grow attached to the students and they are so willing to help and that education is valuable.

The WCC Campus is where the annual Merlefest is held with many bands and arts and crafts present. Also, we have the honorable Doc Watson stage where we hold ceremonies and concerts.

This college is great for all types of students who desire and education. Also, this campus is great for students who love to have fun and who love to interact with others who love to have friends. WCC is a wonderful school for all students.

There are numerous activities that are available to student throughout each day at WCC. Arts and Craft trying international foods and listening to different speakers. Also, the clubs are fantastic at WCC. These clubs are designed so that staff and students get to know each other while doing things they love.

There is no Greek Life on Campus.

Campus Safety is superb. They are always on campus and are available whenever students need help. They have a direct phone line that students can connect to when in trouble or need help. Also, there are several safety polls all over campus. These have the safety button that can be pushed in case of an emergency.

Wilkes has a diversity of programs with wide range of levels, from developmental classes up to second year college classes they have it. WCC also has many of their classes as either online-only, or 1/2 classroom 1/2 online (hybrid) classes which eases scheduling for those with a heavy course load.

WCC is set in a rural area close to Wilkesboro, NC. There is ample parking for students, staff and those who need Handicap spaces. There are many areas of the school where you can study independently between classes such as the Library and Open Computer Lab where there is an English teacher there to help writing papers.

Tuition and fees for in-state students for a semester is capped at $1124 as of Fall 2011. This should be the same for all community colleges, and is great value. This considers 16 credit hours of classes, but you can add more and not be charged extra - however, be aware of the extra workload.

Meet with an advisor, and don't be afraid to talk to people. A lot of information is available on their website but a lot is not. Staff and instructors are very approachable and willing to guide you in your path to college success.

This may not apply to many, but WCC DOES NOT currently accept college credit from non-US schools.
