Categories Rating Comments 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.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences waukesha county technical college has changed my life. the teachers and staff are so caring and understanding, they truly are there to help you succeed and achieve your goals. i rate wctc a 10/10!
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.
Dorm Life no dorms.
Food and Dining 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.

Categories Rating Comments 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.

Categories Rating Comments 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
