Sophomore: BJU is a really great school! The academics provide a challenge that really makes you feel like you earned your degree. The campus life is great as well. All the students and faculty that you meet just walking around campus are very kind and friendly. The biggest thing for me is the Christian atmosphere at BJU. This school is really helping me grow as a person, academically, socially, and spiritually. The atmosphere of the school, however, (enforced by the rule book) is very conservative so if you have a problem with more traditional-style rules then this isn’t the school for you. The biggest thing I would change about the school is the price. While more affordable than some other college, financial aid is still required. Even with the price being the way it is, still a phenomenal college overall!... Read 1,113 reviews

Freshman: Well, I had in the pass taken courses for Early childhood Education and the experience was the most learning experience I ever had because Florence-Darlington Technical College treated me like a human. I loved everything about Florence-Darlington Technical College, they gave me the chance to learn something new, and now again they are willing to help learn even more about new things to keep up with the world today....

Sophomore: Aiken Technical College has provided a one stop shop for pursuing my Nursing degree. While taking my Pre-requisite courses online I was able to work and provide for my family. Now I have been accepted into the RN program for my associates degree. Their partnership with The University of Phoneix allows me to pursue my BSN by taking classes during the breaks ATC has.

Sophomore: During my (currently) short time at piedmont, the professors and staff have been of great assistance. I am taking online courses and getting support is moderately fast and helpful. Any services I have needed have more or less been resolved in 2-3 days. Although the majority is good, one thing that I wish Piedmont had as well as many schools in SC is a more diverse set of majors. While the provided majors offer more than ample opportunity to succeed, having more interesting fields outside of the norm would generate more traction in my opinion. As I have been a solely online student I cannot certain of the exact living environment of the Piedmont campus such as the housing, food, and student interaction. But based on the multiple posts of on-campus activities and health and safety warnings on the Piedmont website, I can say that I would feel pretty safe going to in-person classes....

Sophomore: Horry-Georgetown Technical College is perfect for studying a specific subject you are passionate about pursuing professionally or just gaining your standard academic credits (English, Math, Science, Social Studies, History, etc.) to transfer them to a 4-year university. The academics here are great and the courses are quite flexible in terms of times of day and campus, whether that be in Georgetown, Myrtle Beach, Conway, or online. There is also a decent amount of diversity, and the prices are the best I've seen in the education world. If I could change anything about the college, I would increase student engagement, but Phi Theta Kappa is currently working on a student lounge to promote that! I love that the college president is always willing to listen to students and make adjustments to the college in order to make it a better experience for everyone.... Read 588 reviews

Other: I love attending Trident Technical College. This college has the resources needed for every student to become successful in the career path of their choice. Just a few years ago, I wanted to make a career change from the food and beverage to construction. While I was taking classes on the construction industry working towards my construction management certification, I got the confidence and assist from Trident Tech to better equipment me for searching, applying, interviewing, and negotiating with employers to become successful in my field.

Sophomore: Took most of my prerequisites online and had a pretty good time adjusting. Online classes, I wouldn't recommend for people that aren't the best with computers or have a hard time learning computer stuff quickly. Your classes will be online still even if your in person but you'll have actual class time compared to recorded lectures or zooms throughout the week. The staff has been very helpful and usually answers their emails quickly but sometimes they can't answer the question or don't respond as fast as a student may want and your SOL and have to figure out things on your own. You want to be on top of your schedule cause you may not get emails on things to remind you and you may get help from an advisor for a new class and haven't been fully signed up because you needed to review it yourself. It's a nice school over all but just like any other college stay on top of your stuff and ask for help!... Read 870 reviews

Senior: I've loved my experience on campus and online! All staff is nice and helpful. The campus is always clean. My personal financial aid advisor has made my recent college experience a breeze. She’s answered my questions regarding classes at midlands tech as well as class at the college I plan to go once I graduate from Midlands Technical College. I love that I have been able to take classes at Midlands Tech that will transfer to Columbia College towards my degree in Social Work. It’s very helpful because not only are they more financially suitable, I can already begin working on my 4 year degree which will lessen my time once I officially begin. Everything has met my expectations.... Read 708 reviews

Senior: I am currently a dual enrollment student for York Technical College. I enjoy the wide variety of classes that are offered. Before applying, I only heard of how it was a great college for my major(nursing), nothing more. I expected my classes to possibly be difficult but they were actually easy and positively challenging. I genuinely have enjoyed and learned from my current school experience while taking these classes. Something I would change is their ability to offer more school-related scholarships on their website. This is due to the fact that I usually see little to no scholarship opportunities on their school website.... Read 351 reviews

Freshman: It’s a great school so far! I love my teachers and the food is top tier. We have many things to do on campus and many activities to do weekly, not only that but the people you interact with are nice. If someone sees you down 9 times out of 10 they won’t hesitate to come over and say something nice to you and make you feel good. The RA’s are amazing and so is everyone on the staff, they are very helpful and tend to make things much easier especially when you need help on something you don’t understand. The dorms are great as well, the dorm I stay in is just full of good vibes and good people! The school also has a wide variety of classes and there’s always something for someone down here and that’s what I truly love about it?... Read 510 reviews

Freshman: During my first year at Tri-County Technical College, I was surrounded by students and staff with a can-do attitude and a willingness to help others. The broadcasted and available support throughout the campus makes the students feel like they are not alone through their college journey, whether they are freshmen or seniors. Something that I enjoyed and made a difference in my academic career was the Student Success Center. There were many resources that were available in the center that could help with not only studying but for extra help if needed. Some of the resources that were available included; tutoring services, private study rooms, and the writing center. Something that I would like to see change is the hours of the campus store. The store closes at five-thirty. This closing time can be difficult for some students due to the times that their classes get out. A way that this could be altered is to have it close with the rest of the resources at the Student Success Center.... Read 484 reviews

Alum: I absolutely loved it here. The people are the best part of coker. It’s not the amazing big school with endless of things to do, but it is a small, family like environment. Everyone knows everyone and the professors and people are so kind and amazing. Coker really is what you make of it. Some people might not like the small town vibe, but if you attend things, you make new friends easily. I really enjoyed all my 4 years here and have made some of the best friends and memories....

Alum: Graduated in 1992, the overall experience was ok. Denmark was a very small town and somewhat secluded. Not a city for a person used to a up beat fast city setting. Academics are spot on and professors are caring people. School needs more funding for athletics and overall campus life settings. A good place to focus on a career, and enjoy a country like setting. It once had a open door policy,so be ready to interact with people from all sorts of life and back ground.... Read 19 reviews

Anything at any time when needing help with school, someone is always there. Having professors who care for you, have empathy, and are just as compassionate still after working in a field you're trying to attain is inspirational.

Junior: Strayer University is an excellent online university for students who are needing a way to further their education without attending a traditional or on-campus school. They provide so many resources to ensure you succeed and are understanding the concepts being taught in their courses. The amount of support is almost unavoidable. They offer peer-to-peer mentoring for students wanting or needing additional one on one support for all things professional, personal or academically. Their center for well-being is also encouraging as it helps with things such as housing help, mental health assistance, and academic stress. Strayer University has exceeded its expectations for me and what I thought online schooling was going to be like.... Read 131 reviews
