“ One of the programs that NWC provides for international students, that I really love, is the Friendship Family Program. My friendship family was so kind to me and they helped me a lot. They talked to me a lot, treated me to their home and showed me many of the surrounding places. Thanks to them, I had various and better experiences in Powell. ”

“ Easily one of the top 10 schools in the U.S. for photography, Northwest has shaped me and made me the photographer I am today. I am grateful for the delightful two years I spent there in an idyllic basin of northwest Wyoming. It gave me a solid foundation on which I could build and grow and create a style of my own, forging life-long friendships, and setting my path for a successful and gratifying career. As a young student at the time, I could see that beyond the technique, it was a perspective that the professors showed us which would allow us to set impossible goals and then achieve them. ”

“ The positive experiences I made with the students, teachers, college staff and community members are numerous. The small class sizes, the individual attention and the variety of classes provided me with an excellent opportunity to study, be successful and challenge myself in a non-native language. I would recommend NWC to everybody wishing to experience some time in the USA and enjoy the friendly people, the great outdoors and the overall wonderful journey. ”
