Online courses at AWC allows you to adjust your academic schedule to your extracurricular activities and job schedule. The instructors are very considerate and reply quickly to email when you need help. They even allow us to have they cell phone number for emergency. We have a discussion board that allows us to interact between students and have fun without meeting in person. Instructors also have office hours so that we can still walk in to get the help we need when we cannot solve our difficulties through email or phone call.

Class Schedule Flexibility – The flexibility of classes schedule at AWC is very helpful. For the same subject you have option to choose between mornings and evening classes, online or traditional classes, Monday-Wednesday or Tuesday-Thursday classes for class that meet twice a week.

Scholarship Opportunities – Though I am an international Student and therefore have no access to Financial Aid, at AWC there are many scholarship opportunities with some programs such as the Honors program, the Student Government, the Matadors Ambassador program which offer scholarship to most members.

Clubs on Campus – At AWC we have many student clubs such as the science club, the computer club, the Rotaract club, and many programs such as the Matador Ambassador program, the Honors program, and the Student Government Association that allow leadership activities and interaction between students in one hand and between students and faculty in the other hand.

Printing on Campus – Every semester students are given $15 in their printing account and a page cost only 10 cents (50 cents for a color page). You can print from the library or the computer lab or anywhere you can log in the computer with your student account. During class you can even print for free when you use the class account instead of your personal account. This is a great deal compare to many other colleges or universities.

Thoughtful Intrauctors – The instructors at AWC are very thoughtful, making amazing effort to make us learn easier. I remember when I was taking my first computer class; at that time my listening skill was too low, so the instructor will open a Word page to type the keys words as he goes on with the lecture so I could read them from the projector... "I'm doing this for you" he told me. This motivated me to work hard and get an A in that class:)

Leadership on Campus – There so many leadership opportunities at Arizona Western College through the multitude of programs such as the Matador Ambassador program which I am part of, the Student Government Association, the Honors program, Phi Theta Kappa, and the many individual student clubs such as the science club, Cru, the International Students Club, the Rotaract club and so on.

Resources at AWC – Library with study rooms of different sizes available for student need. Computer Lab equipped with 120+ computers with the necessary software for Math, Architecture, computer graphics and so... Free Wi-Fi available on campus, and cable at the dorms. Fitness center well equipped, basket ball, football, softball fields available. We also have a pool and fun classes like yoga, belly dance, etc

The program is fine and there are internship opportunity every summer and they are even paid. We even have a science club.The only problem is that my financial situation keeps me for taking advantage of all these opportunities because I am an international independent student.
