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…

Chad Jamrock

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.

Pau Aran

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.

Sara Wenzel

I came into college with barely any knowledge on what computer science truly was and have thrived.

I am very happy to have been a graduate of PNW. I have many experiences, formed lasting friendships, and took the combined advice from of my professors and mentors and used it as a guide for my career, and will continue to do so in the future.

I believe having smaller class sizes at PNW compared to other big engineering universities really has allowed me to gain more hands-on experience (especially in labs) that I would not have been able to have at other schools.

I chose PNW because it was close to home, affordable and they have a respected and accredited engineering program.

Emily Larson

I chose to be an engineer because I'm interested in why things are the way they are in the world around us.
