Olympic College

Just out for an afternoon walk and decided to stop in and visit the fine folks of the MVP (MILITARY and VETERANS PROGRAM) . Looks like the campus did a little remodeling when they fixed the sewer leak.

I graduated from there twice, once before grad school, and once for a certification after grad school. It is a great school for people who like to show up for class and learn stuff, not so great for students who want to skip class and cram for the final. LGBT and ADA friendly, famous for nursing, business and engineering bachelor's degree as well. Solid faculty and campus staff, great facilities, full gym, library, childcare, basketball games, tutoring, lots of parking etc. This is the main institution of higher education in the west sound.

I recently graduated with an AS transfer degree and these last two years have been absolutely amazing! This school is one of the best I've been to. All the teachers I've had are experienced and very knowledgeable in their respective fields. It's easy to get financial aid or get one of the many scholarships offered by the school. If you join one of the many student government clubs they give you a chunk of change to work on whatever extracurricular projects or go on whatever outings you may fancy. Lastly, they partner with several universities which means I can "transfer" and finish my four year degree right here.

I think if I had to give any constructive criticism it would be to improve the efficiency of the admin offices. It took literally a week to get enrolled and any task requires being passed around between people at least twice. Granted it's gotten better in the time I've been there (getting a parking permit no longer means a hike across campus!), however I recommend consolidating the cashier and admissions front end into one.

All in all, it's been a great two years and I look forward to starting at WSU on your campus this fall.
