“Outstanding school, WNC’s dual credit program allowed me to get my associate’s degree while still in high school. If you’re a local with kids, I’d highly encourage them to do JumpStart so they can get an associate’s as well.”

“Contrary to some of the negative reviews I have read, I have had one of the best experiences in my life attending Western Nevada College. I have never had a substandard class nor an inadequate instructor. In fact, my mentors have gone above and beyond to ensure my continuing success. The counseling department has always been available whenever I needed assistance. The tutoring department and the library, proved to be invaluable resources. I would highly recommend Western Nevada College to anyone pursuing an education. Thank You, William Gilroy”

“Taking CNA classes with Kendal Valdez. She's an amazing Teacher. Very fair, very patient, and willing to listen. Can't say enough! I'm hoping my future teachers are this good. She sets the bar high!”

“Some professors are good, and others like to be on their phone on social media during lecture time which is close to 3hours mind you. So the time she could be using to teach us each part of the human anatomy she spends on instagram and Facebook. Along with her inconsistency of teaching and rude habits she had not only wasted my time at this school, but takes no regard in how the material actually comes out. Sad that this isn’t the only teacher, one before her the class had to remind him to add assignments to the canvas days before being due and graded. Really decide who you want teaching you bio, anatomy 223 before picking the class because you may just have your time wasted as well as you money taken with no regards for you education.”
