As the semester comes to a close, the Voice wanted to reach out to students to find out what they would like to change or add at WCC to make it a more inviting campus. In this special edition of the voice box, we asked 20 students to share their opinions on what they would change or add, and why.

“The number one thing would be cheaper prices [for books] at WCC. Besides that, I think there’s a lot of good things they already have in place.”

“From the school I came from, we didn’t have as many opportunities especially like club sports and everything like that. I went to a private school so this is all new to me. I wouldn’t change anything to be honest.”

“I like it here, it’s not bad to me. Could be more activities for students. Other than that, not really.”

“If I could add or change anything, I would be to add more tutors or tutoring sessions. I feel like I take a lot of classes that aren’t covered in the tutoring sessions that they have. I feel like I struggle with a lot of classes; there’s a lot of things I need help with. If they had more tutors that specialize in certain subjects it would be much more helpful than what they have at the moment.”

“More microwaves or microwaves that are plugged in would be nice.”

“If I could add or change one thing at WCC, it would be to add more resources for international students. Even though I’m one of them, based on my experience, other universities have services like escorting, where the students would be picked up from the airport and taken directly to campus or residences. I didn’t know anyone when I first got here, so welcoming international students is a big deal. I know WCC does an amazing job already, but I think small things like that would go a long way.”

“I think the smell in the hallways is kinda gross. Usually it’s OK though.”

Casey Gray for the Voice Box, 2018-12-03

“I like it here. I wish I could get my Bachelor’s degree. I wish I didn’t have to transfer, that would be the only thing. I have to transfer to Eastern [Michigan University] to finish my degree, and that’s the only thing since I like the classes, I’m saving lots of money and I like the students. That would be the only change, but overall the structure is great, and I love it here.”

“A new course on astrophysics would be nice.”

“There should be better food here. Better vendors or healthier options. Subway is alright, but I get bored of it. It kind of reminds me of high school food.”

Nick Gronos for the Voice Box, 2018-12-03

“More food places in the Student Center. Adding more options than just the Subway and the pizza.”

“They added the tables which is great. More areas to sit now, unlike before.”

“If I could change one thing about Washtenaw Community College, I would change the Student Center cafeteria food options. It wouldn’t hurt to have more consistent temperatures in the classrooms either.”

Anfernee Milton for the Voice Box, 2018-12-03

“If I could change one thing at WCC, I would change the organization with the classes and professors. I had professors [being] switched between classes this semester so that would be one thing I would change.”

Kira Fairbanks for the Voice Box, 2018-12-03

“The food varieties could be more diverse. I would like to have more options other than burgers and pizza. Adding one more restaurant would help, even if it was across from campus.”

“If I could add one thing at Washtenaw Community College, it would be Wendy’s.”

“I would like to add a meal plan so that I can use my WCC ID, instead of pulling out my credit card or cash.”

Sydney Skomp for the Voice Box, 2018-12-03

“Sometimes the WTMC students get too rambunctious, and whoever is in charge should get them to tone down. I realize they are allowed to be here just as much as everyone else, but everyone is here to just eat or do their work.”

Hannah Detrick for the Voice Box, 2018-12-03

“At my old college in Jackson, students starting their first semester would be assigned a person who had been there for a year to be like an information guide. When you’re a first timer at a college, you don’t want to ask anyone because your intimidated. Being assigned someone would make it easier. Other than that, this college is cool.”
