Samantha from OR
Warner Pacific College offers a personal atmosphere in the classroom due to the smaller size student body. This is a fantastic environment for learning because each student gets the opportunity to ask the questions he or she needs to learn on a deeper level. Overall, professors at Warner Pacific are willing to take the time each student needs to grasp the material covered in the classroom and are even willing to meet outside of the classroom if necessary and this is greatly appreciated by the students on campus.
