State College

Living on campus is more advantageous than living off campus. The resident halls at Wallace State offer a setting that supports academic success and is ideally situated so that students can easily walk to classes, the library, and other campus amenities. Cable outlets are provided in each room. The residence halls also provide community kitchen facilities. WSCC offers both male and female dormitories. The room allowance for non-residents at WSCC is $1,700 per semester. 

Students residing off-campus have more independence and privacy as compared to on campus housing. They have to pay for utilities and make arrangements as well. The estimated room allowance off campus is $2,800 per semester which is costlier than on-campus housing.

Student reviews about Wallace State Community College are a mix of negative and positive. Students appreciate the professors for being very friendly and dedicated to achieving excellence in their students. Students appreciate the success advisors who guide and help students. Wallace itself also supplies many student resources to make student life easier. Some students mention that the classes are challenging and prepare you for the workforce or to transfer to a good four year college. Reviews show that students like the library. I wish that the wellness center was open to all students.

A few negative reviews mention that the dorms are not in good condition and there is a lack of student activities. The financial aid process is also not good it is hard to get help from that staff.
