I can't thank WPCC enough for everything they have done for me. TALK to your advisors, ASK questions, BE active - and you will succeed. Follow through on the scholarship packets and if you have any questions talk to the financial advisors. They are awesome and just when I thought school was too expensive, they helped me get a scholarship.

Wonderful school. Best decision I have ever made was to return to school and Western Piedmont made it so easy to register. The staff are always a pleasure to work with. I also can't say enough about how impressed I am with the quality of the instructors and classes offered. Highly recommend.

I love going here but overall I think they could have more diverse clubs and more to get involved in as far as our community.

It is a great school over all. The ASC is very helpful and a nice thing to have! The wifi doesn't pick up in all the buildings though.
