Categories Comments Great for these types of students West Shore Community College is a great place for anyone looking to gain more knowledge without the hugeness of university. One really fantastic thing about this college is the diversity in age of students - it's really encouraging to see adults from the community attending classes, and I think that there's a lot the younger students can learn from them.
Tips for prospective students Check, double check and then triple check what classes you need for your degree. Do the exact same, and possibly even quadruple check, when finding out what schools your 2-year degree transfers to, if planning to transfer.
Bang for the buck WSCC is most certainly worth the expense. Since it's a Community College, it's quite reasonable. Prior to attending, I was worried that the education I would receive would mediocre or below par. However, I have found the classes to be just the right amount of difficult - hard enough to challenge me, but not discourage me.
Am enjoying being here The school itself is very pleasant, with a beautiful campus and friendly staff. One main thing about WSCC that really took me by surprise was the Student Senate. The group is very proactive and plans at least one activity per month, creating a fun environment and student life that I wouldn't have anticipated from such a small school - especially since we don't have any sports teams. I've been working with the Senate since the beginning of the Fall 2009 semester and love the opportunity to make student's ideas a reality. The only thing that holds me back from being 100% thrilled with WSCC is the rural location.
Am learning a lot One of the things I enjoy most about West Shore Community College (WSCC) is the small class sizes and one-on-one interaction with the instructors. All of the instructor's I've had so far have been very helpful during and outside of class hours, making sure contacting them with questions or concerns wasn't a problem.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck the prices are fairly low. only about three thousand per year. most book you can also find at a decent price.
What to do for fun go to lake michigan and take a walk out to the lighthouse. there is a club called tiki in downtown ludington. also, be sure to do some window shopping.
Food and Dining they have the beans and bread cafe. it has great coffee and wonderful french fries. one of my favorite things to order is the buffalo chicken salad.
Dorm Life there are no dorms but ludington is very close by and lake michigan is only a short drive away.
Academic Rigor the classes are great and the professors have the best interest of the students in mind.
Tips for prospective students be sure to go up to the wellness center, it is a great place to work out. even if you just want to walk on the treadmill or swim some laps in the pool. there are a lot of cool events in the arts center as well, so be sure to check them out.
In three sentences west shore community college is a great starter school. the atmosphere is very welcoming and there are a lot of student activities. overall it is a great school to attend.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Kept clean of snow during winter. No hazards or crime to speak of.
Great for these types of students Law Enforcement, Nursing, Music, Theater, Arts, Educators, 1 and 2 Year Certificate, Advanced Placement High School Students.
Bang for the buck Good price for tuition and great professor's make W.S.C.C. totally worth it.
What to do for fun Enjoy the center stage theater. Go play disc golf on their course. Go for a hike on one of the wilderness trails. Go to the recreation center for swimming, exercise, basketball, or ice skating. Join the different clubs; AV, Gaming, 4-H, and there are more I'm certain.
Food and Dining Beans & Bread Caf�© offers a decent menu, and special of the day (Mon. - Thur.) is hit or miss but is nice to have. Given the size of the school this caf�© is sufficient in meeting the needs of student and faculty.
In three sentences An ideal place for students in the area to get a great head start on post high-school education. Comfortable atmosphere welcoming all ages of students, as well as a highly qualified faculty. Mason County is experiencing a lot of attention for its Arts, Music, and Culture lately, thanks in large part to West Shore's presence in the community.
