In three sentences I was extremely impressed with the amount of passion my instructors exhibited in the classroom.

If Athens Technical College was a 2 or 4 year university offering a degree in Biology, I would have completed my education there for sure.

Great for these types of students Any type of student belongs at Athens Tech!
Bang for the buck Great education, low prices. They get you with the occasional overly priced book.
What to do for fun The purpose of Athens Tech is to continue your education without all the fuss. There are plenty of clubs and organizations to get involved in. The college is located just a couple of short minutes from downtown Athens, home of UGA, where you will find plenty of fun!
Food and Dining There are plenty of vending machines and an okay low key coffee joint.
Dorm Life No dorm life. Lots of local student apartments.
Academic Rigor Teachers are excellent at providing creative and challenging assignments that become more of an experience.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Very, very low crime rate. I read most of our reports are due to people smoking cigarettes in the parking lot.
Greek Life There is at least one sorority/faternaty at ATC. I can not remember the name of it!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I am really not to sure about traditions but orientation day is always worth it! It is very informative and they serve pizza! =P
Bang for the buck ATC is a great choice for getting a degree especially if you qualify for HOPE or PELL. I was able to attend ATC without paying a dime, besides for some books.
What to do for fun Upon attending ATC you get a student email. Usually once a month ATC would send out an events calendar for things to do around or for campus.
Food and Dining The food and dining were great! I you were in-between classes the dining area was in the middle of campus. It was a great way to get work done and enjoy a Chi tea latte!
Dorm Life I find it hard to rate dorm life because there are no dorms at ATC. There are, however, many places to live near the school and it is not very expensive.
Academic Rigor Some class are less strenuous then others. It all seemed to matter if the teacher cared about teaching their subject matter or not. The teachers who seemed to care had better attitudes and made their class more interesting then a teacher who did not care as much. The teachers who did not seem interested in what they were doing had boring, harder classes.
Tips for prospective students Get as much help as you need. Attending the FREE tutoring sessions, availability in the library, and/or talking with a financial aid officer really helps. The schools hours help a lot with those of who need to work during the day. There are classes available multiple times a day.
In three sentences ATC has an interesting staff. Some are there because they have to be and just want you to move on to ask someone else questions. Then you luck out and have very charismatic staff members who want to help.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Public safety is a bit of a joke. They really need a real law enforcement officer to watch the campus.
Great for these types of students Working students. Students who need to get a fresh start in another academic field.
Bang for the buck Depends on the program you focus on. If you're paying your own way through nursing it'll hurt trying to pass a single class 3 or 4 times. Again, though, other classes like Phlebotomy are set up perfectly and you'll be on your way to certification in no time.
What to do for fun Go see Athens. It's two minutes away.
Food and Dining Basic lunch room fare. Not the highest quality ever, a little on the pricey side, but okay if you're in a pinch and starving. The credit card machines for the drink vending machines don't work with debit cards.
Dorm Life No dorms. This is a technical college.
Academic Rigor If you pay attention, come to class on time, and ask questions when you need help you will be rewarded with great grades.
Tips for prospective students Do not go to Athens Tech for the nursing program. Their testing system is one of the most backwards things I have ever seen. One person makes up the final exams for all teachers in all nursing classes and will not tell those teachers what is going to be covered on the final. Hence, if you've spent an entire semester under the guidance of one teacher you may have missed giant portions of information necessary to pass the final because your teacher did not know that they needed to cover that particular area. Many students take Pre-nursing courses 4-5 times before passing well enough to move on to the nursing program. Come here for other technical degrees like Phlebotomy, which is under a different program and testing style than nursing.
In three sentences Ineffecient Nursing program. Perfect Phlebotomy program. Lots of difficulty testing out of unnecessary classes.

Great for these types of students All types of student, students just getting out of high school, and if you are 16 or older, you can take college classes there also, But as a misplace worker, the older students Athens Technical college has something for all ages.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is Spring Fling, Different groups to belong to, and they offer work study jobs on the campus.

In three sentences As a senior year in High School, there are many students who do not have any idea about what college will they apply.

Categories Comments What to do for fun I don't know on this one. I work full time while going to school so I didn't get involved with any of the student organizations.
Food and Dining There is only one place that sells food on campus unless you use the vending machines. They do not provide microwaves so that you can heat up your own food. There are a few places to eat within a block of campus though.
Dorm Life This is not applicable for me since I lived in my own home and Athens Technical College is only a 2 year college and does not offer Dorm living.
Tips for prospective students Always stay in constant contact with your instructors. They realize that life gets in the way sometimes and most of them are willing to work with you if you are unable to attend class for whatever reason. Never be afraid to ask your adviser to substitute classes when needed. I was unable to go into the degree program when I ran out of classes to take for the diploma program. My core classes didn't match up but my adviser understood my circumstances and allowed me to sign up for the math and english classes that were required for the degree program instead of the diploma program.
In three sentences My adviser has been awesome and so have the instructors. I will be graduating this May and have applied to attend Piedmont College here in Athens. I feel fully prepared for the upcoming change.
