    The college is okay for the price. There are some inconsistencies when it comes to branding, and there are some programs that are better than others. All in all, it's an alright place to start.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't treat this the same way you did high school. Even though it's just a community college, you should keep in mind that it is a COLLEGE. Put in the effort, and you'll get a lot out of it.
    Academic Rigor

    I've dabbled in everything from English to Biology to Graphic Design, and I would say that the course load rivals that of state and private universities.
    Food and Dining

    Menu items continuously rise in price and fall in quality.
    What to do for fun

    There are some events that take place, free movies and lectures.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Used to be an asylum.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who have a low income situation, but still wish to go on to a four year school. Great cost-effective way to get the first two years taken care of.

    Guilford Technical Community College is an overall great school but it just isn't for me. They are full of great students and teachers and the admin. team is amazing. I want to go to a university and I never would have pictured myself at a Community college but you never know what life holds.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are looking for a small campus & a low class room size them this school would be great for you.

    From 1-10, I would say my experience at GTCC would be about 8. The classes are very flexible, and it's easy to adjust the class schedules with one's own personal preference. And since most of the school works are online-based, school works can be done in one's own time.
    Tips for prospective students

    Students really need to push themselves in order to keep up with the school work. Because most school activities are done online, it is easy to lose track of time and forget that there are actually school works to be done. But don't worry, teachers would normally email students to remind them they have things due soon. Most teachers I had so far are quite lenient and very understanding. If something comes up and a student can't take the exam on that specific day, they can work with that student regarding exam schedule. And more important tips: Make sure to ask your instructor first before buying the required books whether they will be used or not; Also, the parking lot can be very busy after 8 am. Be sure to get there early if you have morning classes. The school has a parking deck that a student can pay for to ensure a parking space throughout the semester or throughout the year.
    Academic Rigor

    It really depends in every course. Math and Science courses can be quite challening, especially Biology and Chemistry. GTCC may be a community college, but the standards of the math and science departments are just the same as other four-year universities.
    Dorm Life

    There is no dorm available in GTCC.
    Food and Dining

    I personally don't eat at the cafeteria, but it sure smells good in there whenever I pass by. Apparently, cafeteria food can be quite expensive, but they do have some good meals.
    What to do for fun

    There are plenty of extra curricular activities to do in GTCC offered by different clubs. For example, Spanish club does plenty of fun activities that involve travelling and food! The school also has an observatory that is open and free for public. There's also a YMCA next to the campus which is also part of GTCC.
    Bang for the buck

    If you qualify for financial aid, all your tuition fees and books will be covered. If you don't qualify, the most you will pay for tuition fees is less than $1,500 for a full-time schedule. It can go higher if you have more than four classes (at least four classes is required to be full-time). Books are rather expensive if you're buying it yourself.
    Great for these types of students

    GTCC has plenty of online classes. It also has a part-online, part in-class courses were students can do most of their works online if that's the kind of schedule that best suits them.
    This school is also for students who are busy and have no time to linger, since most people who are done in classes typically leave right away. There is also a day care center for faculties and students who have kids or younger relatives.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are plenty of clubs and fun activities involved in every clubs.
    Campus Safety

    There is a campus police office based in GTCC. Campus police and sheriffs also patrol around the campus throughout the entire day.

    this college has alot to offer for alot less than universities, and without the attractive flair. it's very congested in the am and around noon. financial aid office is packed and phones are always busy, but the staff is very helpful once you're patient enough to get through to them and the teachers are all wonderful!
    Tips for prospective students

    always but your books used; avoid financial aid lines as much as possible; take evening classes if you want to avoid all the traffic; wear walking shoes; tuition & fees out of pocket increases a bit each year, but is currently around $750 per semester
    Dorm Life

    (there is no housing on campus here.)
    Food and Dining

    i haven't eaten in the cafe, but i know it's small. most people go across the street to get food, i think. theres a sheets nearby, as well as an ice cream shop sprinkles
    What to do for fun

    various clubs, movie showings, weekly star gazing in observatory, wii and games in cafe/student lounge, cheap hair cuts and dental cleanings by students, cheap fine dining practice by the culinary students, ...
    Bang for the buck

    you get more than what you pay for, in my opinion. the teachers are truly genuine people, but some of the students may be lacking initiative.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    i think it's unique that the college has star gazing sessions weekly and fly-fishing classes in the campus lake.
    Great for these types of students

    it's for students who are searching for a college like they would a first car: it gets you from point a to point b. not much flair but it works and its affordable, plus there are unique (as well as out-dated) qualities about it.
    Clubs and Activities

    i'm not very involved in any but i know they're quite active and close-knit groups.
    Campus Safety

    there are security guards available and police that patrol the speeders, however there could be more of them around.

    i vehemently believe that guilford technical community college has an outstanding programs and staff. my first semester was tough, but the tutors were willing to work with me to come out with flying colors. the atmosphere that surrounds the campus says something unique to each individual.
    Tips for prospective students

    my advice to other students is that they must be willing to love what they do. never give up to whatever challenge they may face each day because they are meant to tell those obstacles that they are stronger and winners. they must make every effort to be the best.

    Dorm Life

    guilford technical community college doesn't not have a dormitory. but they have departments to assist the one's who can't afford to live on their own, counsel them, help them to feel acceptable and worth living. i haven't heard of any greater love than to give the less fortune another chance in live.
    Food and Dining

    the school has chefs who are well-trained and qualified for providing a balance diet. the food and dining is always kept clean, and there is a comment board for the students to write what they think the food and dining was set up. theere is a program teaching students about how to eat well and exercise.

    A lot of recent high school kids hang out at the cafe. They can be annoying. Other than that, it's fine.
