I started classes here in 2019 and am still going. I have had some teachers that could change their ways of teaching to adjust to the students needs when they need help. The campus is close to my home, affordable, and flexible for the times I need. The staff is helpful and nice when you need something and always keep everything clean.

I love the downriver campus. The staff is great and helpful. They have always helped me or showed me where to go. I am partnered with U of M Flint while attending WCCCD. My degree will be with U of M Flint but I attend WCCCD with their prices. Great idea. Clean campus. Subway is closed for awhile now, would like it reopened.

Overall 4.2
I personally think WCCCD is a wonderful campus and has many excellent staff members and teachers. It is a tad confusing to learn where some of the room s are at first, but once you get going.. It's awesome!
Overall 4.1
Love the school! The teachers are friendly, staff is friendly, maintenance is always friendly and very helpful! There is a Subway on campus that is currently closed (believe because they have no AC for the summer). Looking forward to future semesters here.

Worst school ever

Low tuition but at the cost of your education. Administration is a nightmare and the financial aid department is the worst. Definitely review your professors before taking a class and leave reviews.

This school is not very helpful.

Definitely not a good choice for getting an actual degree. The staff is unhelpful and give you the run around when you ask questions. I'm glad I transfered out.

Most students here are not serious about studying. They are mostly after financial aid refund checks and professors that will give easy A without work. The campus is full of young kids that just finished high school and not serious about studying, or older students with kids that work all the time and have no time to study.
Overall 1.9
The school needs updates with the library, classes, and professors, and the building needs to be renovated as well.
