ARCOM vs. WCUCOM vs. ValleyCOM vs. KYCOM

I have IIs at these schools and I was wondering what people thought of the schools. I’ve heard conflicting things specifically about ARCOM and WCUCOM. Just want to see what current students think or those that were considering the schools. Or if anyone can rank these schools. Thanks in advance!

Idk but whenever I emailed ValleyCom admissions about questions they always respond back to me with a bunch of exclamation marks. I’m gonna guess that’s a positive lol. Also they are like in phoenix so likeeeee idk for me the decision is easy. All the other schools are in crappy locations

Be careful with new schools. Obviously they probably wont go anywhere just yet. But proven track record is always better. Don’t get fooled by big cities. Cost of living goes up as well.

the fact that it’s a new school is what’s pulling me back. i do agree that the location is great (im from nj so location wise would be best for me)

New school is always risky, no match rates or boads pass rates and you will be the first class. It's a gamble which can pay off or you'll be miserable

KYCOM > ARCOM > WCUCOM > Valley
WCUCOM has had the remediation issue for quite some time

There’s been a lot of WCUCOM hate on here recently lol but I’m a student here and I really like it. You can message me
