申请点评
- Overall Experience: It's unique because there are teachers who are willing to help you when needed. It's also unique because of the environment and the community is great. I would choose this school again but they need to improve something to help make it a better school.
- Academic Flexibility: The academic flexibility was pretty solid. I didn't have any problems that I can remember.
- Academic Experience: Being a business major was a pretty good experience for me. The teachers at West Valley were great and helped me learn real-life applications for what we were learning. The only thing that could have used improvement were the facilities, since the business building seems pretty aged.
- Academic Experience: Overall, the academics at West Valley were great. I enjoyed most of all the ability to choose and connect with specific teachers who taught their subjects well. Registration was pretty smooth as well; I did not have any problems, so I think that's a success!*(3)

注:
(1)性价比认可度:是来源于College Prowler的一个数据。如该校的性价比认可度为85%,则意味着该校有85%的学生,认为自己在该校得到的教育值这个学费
(2)个人提升满意度:同样来源于College Prowler。如该校的个人提升满意度是83%,则意味着该校有83%的学生,认为自己在这所学校获得相当的提升
(3)学术体验指数:是College Prowler上的一个评价指标,从A+到C-共9等,等级越高,学术体验越好,C-表示体验最差。因该项指标是将美国所有大学——包括哈佛、耶鲁等著名学校——放在一起比较的,所以绝大多数社区学院该项指标的评分都不会高
(4)三年毕业率:社区学院的学制是两年,正常是两年毕业,但不少学生会因实习、打工等原因选择花三年或更多的时间毕业珩
(5)转学成功率:是该校转学去其它学校——一般都会是四年制大学——的比例
