>> So I was looking at different colleges in the area and grew up about 40 minutes south of here
and I wanted to stay somewhat close to home.
So looking at WCTC as one of the perspective colleges, it fit everything I wanted.
It fit the budget aspect of it so while I got financial aid, it was still a lot cheaper
than going to a four-year university or college.
The pass rate for the state NCLEX, which is a state boards which you have to take
to become a nurse and practice as a nurse, they have one of the highest passing rates
in the state of Wisconsin which is wonderful,
especially coming from a technical college like this.
The close-knit community, it's not a huge college yet we do have
about 22-23,000 students currently at WCTC.
A lot of them are online, a lot of them are part time.
So we only have about 7 to 8,000 students who attend the campus here.
So it's a smaller knit campus.
You don't have buildings across the street --
actually we do have a couple but they're not too far away.
And just their wonderful atmosphere.
They're a very welcoming community.
The instructors want to help you.
They want to see you succeed, and grow, and develop into your program.
