It's a small community college, so you'll have the opportunity to form more personal connections with your professors and classmates.

I love Arizona Western College. I have had great experiences here. The professors, environment, friendliness, safety and location all met up to my expectations and I am going to miss it when I leave.

Love it here! The teachers are great, the facility has everything and is clean and up to date. Doesn't feel like a community college except for the close knit community that you don't get at a big university.

AWC has been good to me and I thoroughly have enjoyed my time here. I am a Second Year student majoring in Psychology and without a doubt I love it here. Wished the school pushed programs such as Keys and Ambassadors a bit more to open up more doors to potential students but overall the campus and staff are amazing.

The campus needs a makeover! Is does not look very appealing. Does not have nothing to really socialize besides the small Starbucks. THE FOOD NEEDS WORK!!!! I have gotten food poisoning twice from the lack of cooking they do. They do not have much healthy foods and the food taste nasty! Staff on the academic area are not very helpful...

It's a small community college, but most credits transfer to most of the AZ universities. So, pay $70 a credit here for the first two years or $450 a credit at a university for all four years...

Still trying to figure out how people who can't even speak English that well have graduated from here. The tuition is low so people take advantage of that then transfer after 2 years. Many professors don't want to work with you if you work full time. Advisor department is a joke. Veteran's services don't really know what's going on so do research

The 3C building staff keeps continuously disappointing me. Just when you think someone seems nice and actually wants to help you, they blow you off next time. The cashiers are always rude and seem like they're forced to be there. Same with the advisors, they just rush you off.

Nice school but needs better internet

No social life what so ever. The school doesn't even have it's own football field.

I went to this school to do some post-bac work before attending my graduate program. I left to finish my remaining pre-requisite courses at another community college because the quailty of the education that I experienced was extremely poor. I found the staff and administration rude.

Small school so the offerings of classes aren't the best and when you get into the higher level classes (200 level) there is usually only one section taught per year so it can mess with graduation times and scheduling. A lot of the professors are "part-time" or non-faculty and don't have offices and can be impossible to get a hold of.
