Freshman: My time at Lakeshore Technical College in Cleveland, Wisconsin, has been a transformative journey filled with both academic and personal growth. From the moment I stepped onto the campus, I felt a strong sense of community and support that has defined my LTC experience. LTC prides itself on providing a quality education, and that is evident in the dedicated faculty and well-designed programs. The instructors are not only experts in their fields but are genuinely committed to helping students succeed. The small class sizes allowed for personalized attention, making it easier to grasp complex concepts and ask questions without hesitation. The support services, including tutoring, counseling, and career guidance, played a pivotal role in my academic journey. Faculty and staff were always approachable, making it easier to navigate challenges and seek assistance when needed. My experience at LTC has been nothing short of exceptional.... Read 82 reviews

Sophomore: One of the things that really stood out to me about Northwood Technical College was the level of personalized attention that each student receives. The staff members were always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide support whenever it was needed. Whether I needed help with my coursework, advice on extracurricular activities, or just someone to talk to, there was always a friendly face willing to lend a hand. I was also impressed by the level of expertise that the staff members possess and all highly knowledgeable in their respective fields.... Read 187 reviews

Freshman: I am currently taking the EMS program along with a forensic science class through FVTC, and I enjoy it very much! While my classes are at the Public Safety Training Center, I am frequently on the main Appleton campus, and it is an amazing place. The culture and friendliness from the staff and students is welcoming and they will go out of their way to help you. The food on campus is pretty nice as well. They do something neat at the main campus for lunches, where the culinary students prepare meals for the students. As for the public safety building, it's also very nice and honestly, I feel everyone there is even nicer because you all have a common theme in your degree programs. The instructors are amazing, very funny and helpful, and have great teaching styles. The town behind the building also helps you to experience real life situations without being in the real world. Overall, FVTC is a great choice for college, and it is really nice and clean and a great environment for college.... Read 333 reviews

Freshman: So far my experience at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College has been very positive. I like the environment of the school, which everyone contributes to in some way. Every week there is time in everyone's day to mingle with other students whether that be in the game room or at an event in the common area. Inside the classroom it feels like everyone is part of a team or a family, each person has different experiences and tips which allows everyone to connect in so many ways. I have made a few amazing friends since beginning my time here as well, which makes every day even more enjoyable. The classes here are ran to teach you as much as possible and also push you to work your hardest and become the most successful that you can be.... Read 276 reviews

Freshman: I study both Graphic Design and Digital Media Production at Western Tech, and I am having a good time so far. The classes are very comprehensive, and focus on developing your technical practices, skills, and career readiness. There is plenty of support options for anybody struggling in just about any way. They have tutors, learning commons, food resources, clothing resources, counseling, disability resources, etc. Western Technical College really cares about its students. Perhaps my favorite thing about this school is that, with it being a technical college, all of the professors are required to have practiced, or currently be practicing in, the field of which they teach, and they have to take steps to keep up with the fields too, so that they are always teaching the most relevant information with first hand experience of what knowledge and skills are needed in the field. Western also has connections with local and regional companies that can help you get a start after graduating.... Read 231 reviews

Sophomore: Starting out I had no clue what I was doing. All staff was very nice, considerate and very patient. The instructors actually care about your future instead of treating students like a paycheck. The other facility staff always go out of their way to help anyone in need from academic support to peroneal support, such as giving out eatable food or gas cards since we are a commuter college. High school seemed like a nightmare compared to being a college student at Waukesha Technical College. Here at WCTC they all strive for my success and finding a job while in school to get ready for real life scenarios! I couldn't have picked a better choice for a Technical College!...

Alum: I graduated from GTC in 2010 with my associate's degree. The advisors when going in to finish my pre-reqs did not properly put me in appropriate classes based on my ACT scores so I had to test out on some once I realized I was placed wrong and lost out on that money as it was too late for a full refund at that point even though it was their error. I did not appreciate the closed mindedness of one of the psych instructors and did fail their class as our personalities did not work out and he clearly did not appreciate my input. Once in my program though, my teachers were FANTASTIC! The smaller classes made it easy for the instructors to pay attention to all students and be able to dedicate time to ensure all understood or got extra attention if needed when struggling. They took on feedback well and helped me graduate and succeed with getting into my career field... Read 329 reviews

I have a great advisor who answers promptly any questions that comes up. I've had different experiences with other colleges. This new Part of my life is welcomed and encouraged.

Senior: I have enjoyed attending Chippewa Valley Technical College in Eau Claire, Wisconsin via online course education. The option to complete my courses online was an extraordinary opportunity which made it possible for me to follow through with furthering my education. My Professors were amazing! Although my courses were all online my Professors were all readily available, responded quickly to any questions I had arise & were extremely helpful as well as understanding & encouraging. While some may students may have the misconception that online classes are difficult & that this avenue of learning leaves you isolated with Professors who are disconnected, unreachable & uncaring... I am here to tell you that this is absolutely NOT the case at CVTC in Eau Claire. I couldn't be happier with my experiences & my education I received through CVTC. As of this semester I am now transferring on to UW Superior to continue my education to earn my four year degree.... Read 196 reviews

Junior: I have a few credits to finish up for my associate degree. So far my experiences have been very positive. The Registered Nurse Program at MATC has been what I expected. I’m sure that the networking courses get into more intense material, but networking isn’t my favorite thing. The Support program does make me want to continue my education in nursing. I think that’s a positive. When I started back at MATC, it was difficult because I’d been out of school for something like 13 years. I didn’t know exactly what to expect or how I would adapt to classes again. I can’t think of anything that would have helped me first. It was definitely time to get back in school and it has worked out well. The only change I would make to the MATC program would be scheduling, There were plenty of courses that I wanted to take in class rather than online but the scheduling wasn’t available. I assume this has to do with enrollment and staffing limitations, so I don’t have anything bad to say about it... Read 642 reviews

Junior: Overall 5/5, Pros: It's a small campus in Tosa. It's a safe and intimate setting; most classes only have 30 people or less. Labs only have about 15 or fewer people. The campus is small, but not crowded. (across campus in less than 10 min) I love that the professors are available nearly 24/7, along with TAs (Tutors). This campus also encourages you to build professional relationships not only with your professors but also with peers. Activities are posted daily throughout campus. Housing is 6/5! Freshman and Sophomore housing are usually 2 people for 1 bathroom. (PLENTY of room for housing.) Cons: Due to the placement in Wauwatosa, you can't do much without a car. Having a car is HIGHLY encouraged. Milwaukee is exciting! Take advantage of the culture nearby. The food is also a 4/5, there isn't much diversity, and it doesn't cater well to those with food allergies/ diseases (like Crohn's). The Party scene is nonexistent on campus, but Marquette, UWM, and MSOE are close by.... Read 482 reviews

I am in an online major, but I can choose to go to campus if I want. Overall, I really enjoy the experience. I am going for business management so I can own a small business of my own one day and I think that I will be very well prepared here.

I MUST SAY THE AMOUNT OF THE LOVE , SUPPORT, AND FRIENDLINESS I HAVE RECEIVED IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. I LIKE THE CAMPUS, IT IS PRETTY SMALL AND CONNECTED SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WALK ALOT AND IT IS VERY GOOD BECAUSE IF THE WEATHER IS BAD YOU DON NOT HAVE TO MOVE OUT IN THE RAIN TO EITHER GO TO YOUR DESIRED LOCATION ON CAMPUS. THEY HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL GREENHOUSE ON CAMPUS AND IT IS REALLY COOL. I WOULD NOT WANT ANYTHING TO CHANGE HONESTLY. IT IS SIMLPLY THE BEST COLLEGE I COULD EVER THINK OF ATTENDING BESIDES IT IS AN WOMEN'S COLLEGE. AND I BELIEVE THAT SO MANY YOUNG GIRLS AND WOMEN HAVE BEEN GREATLY INSPIRED BY THIS INSTITUTION....

Senior: My overall experience at UW Stout has been positive. There’s a wide array of interesting classes offered. The major-related classes and electives are taught by passionate people in the field. The professors and staff are almost always kind, helpful, and flexible with students. The university is overall aptly funded, and provides a lot of resources to students in most majors. It's far from perfect, though. Some majors tend to get overlooked when it comes to support. While the art program at Stout is one of the largest draws to the university, the art facilities still often fall short. For example, many art and design programs require relevant work experience/internships, but the polytechnic doesn’t provide the same resources it provides other majors. Many programs get career fairs and direct connections to professionals in a way that design students don't receive. The art building also remains one of the oldest buildings on campus, yet little budget is put into maintenance.... Read 1,030 reviews

Freshman: Edgewood is a great school if you are looking to go somewhere where you can feel connected to you peers and professors. Class sizes are small enough where your professors know you by your first and last name and get to know you as a person rather than just a number in a large lecture hall. This is a main reason why I decided to go to Edgewood because most major universities are not like this. The community is very welcoming, and all the staff is right there to help you succeed. And of corse the campus is beautiful as it is right along the lake!... Read 578 reviews

The student population is very tightly knit, the professors are so kind, and the buildings are very full of windows and full of natural light. Each dorm comes with their own bathroom, so no communal showers or toilets. Laundry is free, food is good. There's a cute coffee shop on campus that is the best place to study. The library is huge and beautiful, and the athletics always have some type of game or something to go to and be involved in something.... Read 855 reviews
