I enjoyed my time at west Georgia. It allowed me to get away from Flint for a while and experience something knew. Even though i had to transfer back to a school in Michigan i was able to obtain a lot of information in business technology and it allowed me to have many more options at Mott to use my credits. Almost as if i learned enough to expand in computer information systems. I took most of my classes online and even though it could be rough it gave me more school-life balance. It also made me more responsible and helped discipline me. Overall good school and i really can thank my advisor for guiding me through and keeping contact with me. That also helped my communication skills by reaching out to her about classes and which ones I should take rather than going out on my own to choose classes and end up not taking the right ones or just not doing the right balance of easy to hard classes.
West Georgia Tech is a place where you can work towards getting a certification, degree, or diploma. Whether you intend to stay at this technical college or move on, it equips you with the basics. It has been a good college albeit lax at times.
I applied at the Lagrange campus. Here, I wish there were more willing (and understanding) instructors at times; especially in the case of core classes. However, thankfully the tutoring system that the school provides -- both online and on campus -- has proven to be a lifesaver. Take advantage of it!

Wgtc is a great place to get in core Classes or follow through with a degree or certificate. I really like that they offer a variety of classes and lots of opportunities for online classes for busy schedules. So far I have been here almost 2 years and I have not had any problems with my instructors. I do not care for administration, they aren’t the best at helping and don’t communicate well enough to know what’s even going on . You really have to figure out everything on your own. Overall, it’s not the best college(keeping in mind it is a 2 year college) but it gets you started and helps you get to where you want to be in the future !
