Cadance - 11/13/2024

I think it's a really good college for several reasons. First of all, it's located in a small town, which I find appealing because it offers a quieter, less hectic environment compared to larger cities. The smaller community means I can focus more on my studies and less on distractions, which can be a huge advantage for my academic and personal growth. Additionally, the college isn't too far from my family, which is important to me. Being close allows me to visit more often and maintain a strong connection with my loved ones, without feeling like I'm too far away. Another practical benefit is that it's more cost-effective for me since it helps save on gas and travel time whenever I need to go home or to work. The convenience of not having to drive long distances makes my daily routine much easier to manage, and it also helps me stay on top of other commitments like work. All in all, the location is a good fit for my lifestyle, offering a balance between academic opportunities, family proximity, and practical benefits.

I am so glad I started my education here! The class sizes are small and the professors care about you as an indivdual- they will go out of their way to make sure you're doing okay. Out here, everyone is everyone's friend! I don't feel like there's cliquey people and silent wars between people groups. Our caf has great food! The campus security officers are so friendly and care a lot about all students. Make your way out here!

Jade - 06/13/2019

It could be better. But I enjoy the opportunity I have been granted. I enjoy playing basketball and I am very grateful for the on hands professors. I don't hate it but I also don't love it. I'm currently in general education so it's not difficult. I would encourage people to come here if they are looking for a small college size.

Delaney - 07/05/2018

I think that Central Wyoming College is a great place to begin. I have been enrolled as a concurrent enrollment student since 2014 and I have seen nothing less than success. I love the campus and had a few good teachers. I only ever had a problem when a professor wouldn't answer emails. I think CWC is doing great!

    To be honest with you I do not know my classmates very well because i have just started out in Central Wyoming College and have only been to one class so far. From first impressions, they seem like students who share the same interests as I do and like the outdoors as well as as adventures and traveling. All the students in my class want to or have already been to NOLS and for th ones who have been already want to go again. I am excited to get to know my classmates more this semester.

    They lack sufficient funding for Work Study and Internship programs. Work study is essential to a college student as it allows more time than a regular job for studying and test-taking. Internship programs allow the student to put what they have learned in the classroom to a practical, hands-on method, and it helps the student to decide if this is the path they want to pursue.
