[The professors] prepared us throughout college and set us up with the tools that we need to succeed. It helped me secure a good job and I thank my professors for that.
The professors are great! They go out of their way to make sure you’re understanding and learning the material. They’re also available to help you when you need it.
Studying at PNW has been a great experience. I have met so many wonderful people and learned so much. I am happy I made the decision to attend PNW.
The amount of students that tell me that I made a difference in their education is definitely undoubtedly the most rewarding achievement mentally to me as a tutor…
I’ve met a lot of amazing people and have had a lot of great experiences at PNW, and I’m very happy I chose to come here.
I chose to attend PNW for the opportunity to play soccer at the Division II level and because of the course catalog of Computer Science.
I came into college with barely any knowledge on what computer science truly was and have thrived.
Take the opportunities that are given to you. Don’t be afraid of them. There are a lot of opportunities and room for growth at PNW, so embrace it and try new things and see where you fit in the most.
