N = Napa Valley Collage

I would want to attend this collage based on...

Information from: http://www.napavalley.edu/Pages/default.aspx

1. It's wide range of Career path choices: "The Career Counselor can assist you with finding your career direction, developing an action plan, mapping out an educational plan" I feel they would really lead me into the right direction on what I want to become and what classes I should choose for it.

2.Location: I have always wanted to explore the world after I got out of collage and this would be a really good experience to see the other side of the country.  "Napa Valley College’s tree-lined campus sits on a 160-acre site overlooking the Napa River in the heart of the world famous Napa Valley wine producing region.  The campus is also home to the Napa Valley Vintners' Teaching Winery. "

3. Promises success for the students: "Napa Valley College engages its students in high quality programs and services that promote learning and personal growth; enhance academic success and workforce development; and prepare life-long learners for their roles in a diverse, dynamic, and interdependent world."
 "Dedicated to educational excellence and student success since opening in 1942, Napa Valley College has a rich tradition of educating generations of Napa Valley residents.  In addition, our state-of-the-art facilities attract students from a wide geographic area who want to take advantage of programs not offered elsewhere in the region."


4. Size of Campus: "The Upper Valley Campus of Napa Valley College is a 6.9 acre campus with 17,800 square foot buildings with classrooms for computer labs, business, fine arts, science labs, library resources, an instructional learning lab, a culinary arts center and a Native American Dedication Garden."

5. Provides student services:Our services are designed to help you succeed in your academic endeavors.  Taking advantage of the many resources available at the college can help you become a better student and speed your progress towards achieving your educational goals. It’s the smart thing to do.

I would be hesitant because of...

1. Distance from home: 6 hours away from my home in New york

2. Career Choice:  It doesn't have a good nursing or medical program involved in the collage

3. Cost:  Classes are charged "$ 36.00per unit"
