    Western Nevada College is very friendly and easy going especially for new students. I was a nervous wreck, returning to college after many many years. The helpfulness, information, and friendliness is outrageous.

    I really like the cost of the school. There is no tuition; a student just pays per class. Each class is generally only $250.

    Western Nevada College is great for the pursuit in an associates degree or a certificate in a specialized field. The prices are much cheaper than that of a traditional University, so you can get the same classes but for nearly a third of the cost. Plus, nearly everything is transferable to pursue a bachelors degree elsewhere, for those planning to get a 4 year degree.
