What Students Are Saying

On a scale of one to ten I rate Columbus Technical College with an eight. I rate this technical college with an eight because this school has made changes for the better and I have noticed more organization in place. This college has added on since I have moved in 2007, adding a larger health and science building to accommodate the large classes.
