申请点评
- Campus Quality: Canby doesn't have any sports teams from the college, no gym and no real library on campus. I wish there was a library because then I could check books out and not have to buy off amazon.
- Academic Experience: I love MNWest. I would prefer it if I didn't have to transfer to get my BA. I love the staff, the online classes, the close-ness. And if I need any help I can just go to the canby campus and get help and even buy my books there. MNWest has done a lot for me, I've become a great student and made the Dean's list too, so motivation isn't too hard when the school you attend makes you feel comfortable and happy.
- Academic Experience: There are a lot of different class choices, but the Canby campus is wind/tech focused, but you can always take courses through other mnscu institutions too. I've taken a course through another college and it was just fine.
- Campus Resources: The canby campus is great. The staff are all really nice and helpful. The LARC is great when you need to print off some material or just use the computers there. The ladies in the front office are really nice and always helpful, they'll learn your name and always make time for you.
- Campus Resources: There are two computer labs on the Canby campus and 3 ITV rooms, a printer you can use in the LARC, wifi is usually pretty good. I would recommend bringing a computer to ITV classes.
- Academic Experience: The curriculum could be heavy at times, but the professors usually had good books and workbooks to go with them that really helped in learning and studying the material. I also thought that professors would pose interesting discussion questions that would make me think through real-life situations. Registering for classes was smooth and I did not have any problems with registering.*(4)

（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了相当的提升
（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

（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
