    Waukesha County Technical College is a nice place for attending school. They have a good library or computer lab for people to use the computers or a quiet place to study. Also, they have a nice cafeteria.

    Tips for prospective students

    Mostly Waukesha County Technical College students are friendly. You don't have to worry about them.

    Academic Rigor

    The professors are good at effectively communication with the students. The professors that I have experienced with so far were very friendly and high-energy.

    Dorm Life

    No dorm.

    Food and Dining

    Cafeteria is big enough for students to have some spaces. They have good and variety of food. The food is just a little expensive.

    Campus Safety

    They have several of emergency buttons on the parking lots. A campus police drives around to make sure everything is okay. People drive and respect other people well.

    WCTC is a great school for those who want to earn credit for classes at a cheap price and need to do it while working. Their online system-blackboard-could use a little work. The professors there are great and teach great material.

    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared for work outside of the class.

    Food and Dining

    Good but overpriced

    What to do for fun

    There are always lots of people in the hub and coffee shop.

    Great for these types of students

    students who are looking to earn a degree while working full or part time

    Waukesha County College has been a great experience for me so far. As a first year college student I have really enjoyed how helpful everyone has been.

    Tips for prospective students

    Don't hold back on asking questions. If you don't know the answer find someone who will.

    Food and Dining

    The food at WCTC is great, although it is a tad bit on the expensive side

    What to do for fun

    The college offers many things to do out side of your class time

    Great for these types of students

    WCTC is a great place to be for the student who just doesnt feel right attending your typical university college. WCTC offers great programs that allow you to still have a life outside of college

    Academic Rigor

    the schedule they come up with to get you a degree in two years is tough! they make you earn your grade and degree.

    Dorm Life

    what dorms?

    Food and Dining

    expensive! but they do have a nice restaurant on campus that you can make a reservation for and the culinary students make you a nice dinner

    Bang for the buck

    like any school, it comes down to student initiative. you're in charge of your education. if you need extra work to understand something, you need to put in that extra work. they do offer tutors for core classes and other resources for your degree programs. but some of these resources are under par. my advisor, did nothing to help me and couldn't give me any information about my degree or the work i can expect to get once i'm out of school.

    Great for these types of students

    students looking for training to help them get a job. i would say this school is good for people who like working with their hands. do not come into this school without checking into how the credits transfer. too many schools will burn you with the line, yeah, they transfer just about anywhere. i've tried transferring to uw-waukesha and they wouldn't take any of my credits after repeated promises from both schools that at least half would transfer.

    Clubs and Activities

    not many to choose from. deca and student government are at the top of my list. unfortunately, they're the best of the few offered.

    Campus Safety

    as is typical, i feel campus safety reflects on the area surrounding campus. most people in the area are trustworthy. but there's no sense of community holding the students or faculty together or enforcing any sort of honor system or code. no campus police that i know of, but the pewaukee police are only a phone call away.

    Tips for prospective students

    some tips i would give students is to make sure your heart is in it or it will just be a waste of time and money.

    Academic Rigor

    the standards and expectations wctc has for their students is to give them all of the resources they need to help them succeed in their schooling.

    the food is excellent at wctc. we have the hub which is our cafe food and we also have the daily grind which is our coffee shop.

    What to do for fun

    wctc holds different events that are fun for the students. i myself am in nursing club and we get together once a month and have lunch while different speakers come in and talk to us about different health related topics.

    Bang for the buck

    wctc is a technical college which is priced fair considering the prices of other colleges around the area.

    Great for these types of students

    this is great for students on a budget who will have one on one with their teachers.

    Clubs and Activities

    i love nursing club!!

    Campus Safety

    wctc makes sure that our campus is safe by having patrols in the parking lot, security guards on campus, and cameras in the parking lot as well as emergency kiosks.

    Did learn a lot

    the class sizes were great where i didn't feel lost in a sea of students and the teachers really got to give you individualized attention

    Did enjoy being here

    it had a great environment but with me being right out of high-school attending here it was tough especially commuting because you dont get the same sense of community and the same age range as a regular 4 year college with living accommodations.

    Great for these types of students

    anyone that wants to further their education and enrich their resume to be able to do things others cant.

    Am learning a lot

    The classes are small enough that the teachers reach out to help you understand that material; yet the classes are large enough that you don't feel like you're the only there. Usually around 20-25 per class. They pack a lot of knowledge into a class period and you definitely don't want to miss a class.

    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is clean, enforcing a Tobacco Free Campus which is very nice. It keeps it clean and the all the buildings are inviting.

    Bang for the buck

    Compared to some other schools around the area, the per credit rate for WCTC is great and easily affordable. Even if you need help, they offer loans and will help you afford your tuition.

    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early, some of the programs are very competitive and you will have to fight your spot

    Great for these types of students

    Anyone pursuing a technical career, or especially nursing. The school also offers non credit classes just for fun
