Northwest Shoals Community College - Muscle Shoals Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Northwest Shoals Community College - Muscle Shoals
- Reviewed on: February 15, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- This school is absolutely the best. As a single mom, my first thought was that I would never get a chance to go back to school. They have a daycare here so it makes it so easy for me to drop my daughter off, go to my classes and then pick her up. I feel so at home here and everyone is great. The curriculum is excellent. I don't have one negative thing to say.
