FSW is a great and affordable alternative for college. I chose FSW because of those reasons. It was amazing when I went to orrientation and everyone was focused on helping me in any way I needed help. Everyone was also so understanding of how it was my first time at college given that I was a freshman. Not only were teachers and staff amazing but the students and peers were also a big help. Overalll a really great school. To me it was the perfect choice.

  15. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

    Our school is seen as the community college of our area because it use to be a community college. I believe that since the name has changed, and they have more bachelor programs that the school is starting to be recognized for what it has become and not what it use to be. I do not think that we are anything like a community college. We have amazing staff and the classes are not any "easier" than ones at a state college.

  17. What are the academics like at your school?

    The academics at FSW are the main focus of the facility. We do not have sports teams as of this year so they strive for academic excellence. They even have a class called Corner Stone that all incoming freshmen take to help them with getting though that first year of college, if its teaching them how to take notes, to helping students find employment while attending school. Also, all the professors that I have personally had have tried to helps students academically if its offering extended office hours or setting up a private tutor for a student. We also have resource labs for all of the major subjects like writing, mathematics, speech, science, etc. The school offers so many different ways for students to succeed academically if they do not than the student is not putting in the effort.
