"Like I said, I paid them money and they gave me a degree. I have made more money thanks to having the degree."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | If they are looking for a cheap way to get a degree and they already have a good understanding of what is there, I would say yes. But due to the little I really learned there, I tend to say no. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | It is one of three schools in the area. Equipment is new but will not be replaced for a long, long time. |
| Program Quality | 5 | WNC was a pretty standard school in that you gave them your money and they gave you a thing with your name on it. |
| Instruction | 5 | Some instructors were pretty good, but some were very, very bad. They were not knowledgeable about their subjects, and this was a common problem. |
| How Difficult | 3 | It was a very easy program and did not do much of the take home work. I was never really punished as I knew what was going on anyways. Some teachers allowed me to work ahead and this helped. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Hands on is the only way to learn in this industry - you know that and every one else should. If you just read a book about EIGRP or OSPF, you will still have a very weak understanding of how the two routing protocols work until you network some gear. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | I was able to make 40 hours a week of work fit into a 20 credit hour semester. I would consider that a good option. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | I was always very impressed with the school grounds. I never made use of the tutors or study groups. |
| Social Life | 1 | Most classes were comprised of people that were older than I was. There was very, very little school sprit. |
| Placement Services | 5 | I had a job when I went into the program and I left with one. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I did not spend much time with the support group in or out of school. I'm not a part of any alumni happenings. |
