PNW is a great community to grow with. The campus is small enough for personal attention in classes and large enough to have a variety of events.

Having a group of people that can build off of one another, knowing you have an alliance, that your struggle is a shared experience and you’re not alone, is important for success.

All of the hands-on training I’m receiving at PNW is helping me narrow down exactly what I want to do once I graduate.

The classes are small, personal and hands-on, you’re able to build connections with your classmates and professors. If you have questions you can actually talk to the professors.
