If you need help, many people are willing to help. It was an adjustment going back to school after almost 2o years, but it was made easier by the amazing staff. The staff at RTC helped with everything from financial aid to researching career paths to aid me in determining what I wanted to do next. Quiet places to study, great food offerings, and an amazing library You can't go wrong choosing RTC!
I went through the Culinary Arts Program and loved every bit of it! Chef Tony Parker is a very valuable person to get to know and have on your side. He has so many connections around the country which could get you a great job opportunity. The lunches for the whole school are made by the culinary program and there's also a fine dining room which has a new menu every 2 weeks. Talk to Chef Parker and get to know when the capstones are, the capstones are the culinary graduates doing their final project (so they're usually pretty yummy!) and it's usually only around $15 for a five course meal!
Renton Technical College has a variety of two-year programs and a very diverse population of students. Instructors are very experienced and educated in their field and offer full support and encouragement. The campus is safe, I have been attending Renton Technical College for two years and have never experienced an unsafe situation. Drills are performed regularly to ensure that students and staff know what to do in the event of a real situation. The campus was recently renovated and look nice and neat, but if you arrive around 10 AM in the morning, it is difficult to find a parking space. The food in the cafeteria is prepared by the culinary students, it’s inexpensive and tastes great!
