NorthWest Arkansas Community College - Bentonville, Arkansas

As a student(2018-2020) I have found NWACC to be a school of choice, a school of excellence, a beautiful & spacious school. NWACC is a school for brothers and sisters, both young and old for all students from all over the world ? --(no matter where you come form or color of your skin).
Whatever makes you want to choose NWACC--- whether it is the cost, people, accessibility, or anything else that is academic---you are making the right choice.

Great place, great people, excellent tool to grow as a community

Terrible communication. Throughout my experience with NWACC, I have had to call or email regarding different things, whether it be for something involving classes, student records, or enrolling. Every time I call, I have to sit on hold for a long time. Sometimes I sit on hold for 30 minutes, sometimes an hour. I understand that enrollment support has other students to assist, however, I have never dealt with something like this at any other school I have attended.

I have a lot of experience with a lot of different colleges and universities. NWACC tops them all as being the worst college experience ever.

I have a kid in NWACC's Early College Experience program. Every aspect of working with that department has been met with the utmost incompetency. Since moving to Workday, those experiences have gotten exponentially worse.

It's crazy that college educated people can be this bad at running a college program. You would think that in the land of Walmart, a college could do better, but I don't think they can.

I think this level of incompetency is the best they can do. Sad too as it negatively impacts our younger generations who do not know any better and will think this is the norm in how college's operate.

I actually really liked going to Northwest Arkansas community college and was doing my degree completely online, until one day I was not. I enrolled in a payment plan and had a balance on the plan, so when I logged into my account to pay the remaining balance of the plan, I was not able to. When I contacted the school they said that they had sent my account to a debt collection agency after only two months, I do not live in the USA and have been trying for about 1 1/2 to contact the debt collection agency . I didn't receive an email , no warning nothing. I was on my second semester and thought I was on my to getting my degree online, this school has completely discourage me from pursing my degree online. The school seems to be more about profit than students success.
Some of the positive reviews I have read about the school were written by Faculty staff.

This school is excellent. They have a very organized and professional app and website, great student resources, and cool teachers. The students here are super chill. Great safety app. Safe campus because of security cameras and police nearby. Affordable classes as well. You can get scholarships and work study. Small class sizes so the professors actually care about your growth as a student and as a person. The clubs and events here are fun. The international office is cool. The campus is super pretty. The integrated design lab is pretty much an art exhibit with large classrooms. Not a huge or tiny campus so not overwhelming or underwhelming. All in all awesome

Absolutely, by far, the worst experience as far as the cashier's office. We received one notification that my son had a balance due (Army hadn't paid their portion for his service...another issue all together). I explained to the cashier that we would be paying but needed time to transfer funds for a college savings account to the college. The woman told me they would not stop, "their process" as far as the bill owed. I explained this would take 2-3 weeks maximum. 2 weeks later, we receive a collections notice. Again, we try and call them and the collection agency to report that the payment literally crossed in the mail with the collections and could they remove from collections. The answer was an emphatic no. No grace period, no understanding that getting the funds transferred takes some time, no consideration that my son serves his country. 30 days and off to collections he goes. Would not recommend the college to anyone, any time. No compassion, no understanding and rude people on the phone.

The school itself is great. But the biggest problem is the enrollment and financial aid process.

The process takes forever and they always just tell you to just wait until they tell you to get another piece of information. Overall, I love the school but they really need to fix their financial aid and enrollment process.

The people care, but the system has led to not just me but many others having problems getting their aid money. A stress that should not be gone through.
