Freshman: The student life here is amazing, and it's clear the university wants its students to feel comfortable on campus. TA's and professors have been mostly receptive to emails and eager to help out when needed. The location and surrounding resources are valuable and easy to take advantage of as a student. I wish professors were better equipped to use canvas or some other teaching website. Also, there should be a standardized attendance app or website that is used by all teachers rather than having to download two or three separate applications in a semester depending on which professors you have. Overall, a great experience!... Read 3,401 reviews

Junior: As someone who has attended more than one university, I would say that my time at Madison Area Technical College has been the best and most enjoyable so far. I really like how accessible becoming a student at MATC is and found that I very much prefer the smaller class sizes compared to bigger, four year universities. I would definitely recommend MATC!...

Graduate Student: My experience at Herzing School of Nursing has been amazing- starting with my recruiter, Marice. He was very knowledgeable of the program and really persuaded me this college was a great option. My enrollment coordinator, Javier reached out to me several times during admissions, and even checked on me when I was in the hospital having a procedure during my first week of classes! My advisor, Sam, has always helped direct me and has amazing communication skills and work ethic. My clinical advisor, Sonia has been a life-saver and literally has gone above and beyond her duties for me. Even my financial aid advisor, Daphne, has been top notch! I know them all by name, and they make me feel as if they remember me, as well. I have loved all my instructors and maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout the entire FNP program. I have no regrets in choosing this program, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking to advance in their profession.... Read 558 reviews
