I love how easy they made everything

Northwest Arkansas Community College is very close to the local area. Fortunately, the environment is great and quiet for studying such as the Student Center. Not only that but the tuition is affordable compared to other universities and colleges and the professors are well prepared and actively help the students understand the content.

I received two associates degrees from NWACC and I keep coming back to take more classes. Most of the professors are very personable and truly care about your education. Also the art teachers at this college are amazing.

Love it here

The majority of the staff really try to work with you and care about you and your education. The facilities are clean and well maintained, always trying to be improved upon. There's a ton of different ways to get involved via clubs or organizations and events. I opted out of going to the university to stay at NWACC.
Bad reviews

Has good educators for some classes but then you have educators like Pamela Satterfield who doesnt care if their students learn or not. Terrible educators like this grade based on how directions were followed and not by if the answers were correct. Ex. My last test I got the answers correct but submitted 1 page too many so I got all answers wrong.

Logistical staff is horrible, they dont return emails or phone calls. Several professors are bias, and grade unfairly. Worst educational experience ive ever had
Overall 1.3
Not the best school
Overall 1.4
I've had the absolute worst time at this school. The Nursing Program director does not care about you going to their school and the material is not well presented. They are not prepared or willing to ACTUALLY help you.

Parking is just about the only good thing about this college. Apart from that, there really isnt much here.
