My twin boys are both in their freshman year at Stevens. Academically, the school seems to be good. However, the communication from Admissions and Financial Aid has been TERRIBLE. We got a full bill more than once, when we knew that they would receive scholarships. I had to email a few times in order to get this corrected. Remote working from the office staff has been a disaster - admissions and financial aid staff not working the office means that they don't answer the phone. And more than one occasion they have missed emails from us. One complete most of the work for most of his classes for the first three weeks of this semester. Should not be able to get his books because office staff were not responding to him. I love the trades, but I would be hard pressed to recommend a student go to Stevens at this point in time. If they clean up how they do communication, I would be more than happy to make my review more positive
Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology is a simple effective school and that is the best way I can put it. If you would like to pursue a career in a vocational career like Welding then this is the place to be. The hire rate is also quite successful so there is no Job downside. Now, the quality of the campus is average. The food at Stevens is the same three meals, Pizza, Burgers or Chicken. The Shuttle service to the smaller campuses is modest at best. Some shuttle drivers basically do whatever they please. Like, watch tv while driving, show up when they feel like it, etc. Another thing is the quality of the campus cleaning wise. The main campus is clean, well maintained and mostly appealing. The orange and greenfield campuses, however, are not so fortunate. The smaller campuses are often dirty, not up to date and are not maintained to the extent they should be. Lastly, The Gen Ed courses should be better suited for the majors and not the simple fact that they exist.
The mix of academics with hands on education allows people to experience their field of choice in a well rounded way, and the networking opportunities for future employment are numerous. However, I would like to see more interaction between programs of a similar nature, and many programs could include more updated technology to match the workforce.
