In three sentences The classes are small and very interactive. All the teachers and professors are always there to help you with whatever you need.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus security is very prevalent and visible on campus.
Greek Life I don't know too much about the Greek life at FDTC, other than many of the departments have their own.
Clubs and Activities This is my first semester at FDTC, so I'm still finding my way around. I'm not a part of any clubs or activities, but I may check into them next semester.
Great for these types of students Florence-Darlington Tech is a great school for students who want the experience of college while still living at home. FDTC also has classes to accommodate those students who are in the work force.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are a lot of stairs at FDTC, so make sure you have a good pair of shoes!!
What to do for fun To be honest, I really don't know what you could do for fun. After my classes are over, if I don't go to the math lab, I go home!
Food and Dining Florence-Darlington Tech has a Subway on campus. I sometimes eat there, or I'll just wait and eat at home.
Dorm Life Florence-Darlington Tech does not have dorms, so I live at home.
Academic Rigor Many people think that 2 year colleges are super easy...NOT THE CASE!! You still have to study hard and really apply yourself. If you have the right frame of mind and the right attitude towards school, you will succeed at FDTC.
Tips for prospective students If you are focused, you will excel at FDTC. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it, and DO NOT wait until the end of the semester to seek help!!
In three sentences Florence-Darlington Tech is a very good 2 year college that really prepares you for the work-force. I like the fact that the classes are sized where you can interact with other classmates and the instructors know your name. There is assistance readily available should you need help with a course.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I rarely go to the main campus in Florence because I take all of my classes online,so I cannot give an accurate description of how safe the campus is. I can say that every time I have been on the campus I have felt very safe. There are policemen here and I have seen a few police cars parked on campus as well.
Greek Life There is no Greek life here because it it a commuter campus.
Clubs and Activities There are not many activities here on campus because all of the students commute,although I know that Student Services tries to put together a few activities for the students a couple of times a month. I do not know of any clubs on campus.
Great for these types of students FDTC is an excellent choice for all types of students, from those who are fresh out of high school to those who are in their 40's. I have found FDTC to be very accommodating to non traditional students like myself,who are going back to college and have families. It is inspiring to see so many adult students here,and I love the fact that FDTC does not shun these students or make them feel uncomfortable. You are never too old to go to college or get an education, and FDTC is a great testament to this.
Bang for the buck FDTC is a great option for students who want to save money by attending a small community college for one or two years before transferring to a large university or college for their bachelors. The tuition and fees for full time students(12 hourse) is less than 3,000 for in county residents,which means that if you receive a Pell Grant, your tuition and fees will most likely be covered by financial aid. FDTC also offers free tuition and fees to senior citizens!
What to do for fun There is not much to do for fun on campus,because all of the students commute. However, in Florence there are restaurants to go to if you want to go out to eat, and a medium sized mall to go to for shopping. There is also a movie theater in town. Florence is kinda small,so there isn't much to do.
Food and Dining There are vending machines available,and the bookstore offers snacks for students to eat. There is also a full service Subway on campus that offers breakfast and lunch items.
Dorm Life Because FDTC is a technical/community college, it is also a commuter college. There are no dorms here. Many of the students either live at home with their parents or somewhere in Florence or one of its surrounding areas.
Academic Rigor I am studying for my Associate of Arts degree,and I have found the material to be challenging and on par with universities and colleges. I enjoy being challenged and I have studied hard for every grade I have earned. Just because it is a technical/community college does not mean that the classes are watered down or easy.
Tips for prospective students FDTC is fairly easy to get into if you have the required materials(h.s. diploma or GED, test scores,etc). However,if you want to get into any of the more rigorous degree programs such as Nursing,Radiology,Engineering,etc, the requirements for these degrees are more stringent,which makes acceptance into these degree programs more difficult.
In three sentences FDTC is a great technical/community college that offers something for everyone. It can accommodate anyone's schedule because it offers day,evening, and online courses. FDTC offers a multitude of degrees,diplomas,and certificates to fit anyone's interest.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is 24 hour security
Great for these types of students Students that already know exactly what they want to do in life as far as a career.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus In addition to the library there is a building called the Success Center. Students go to the success center to get optional help from tutors without charge or just to use the computers or study lab models.
Bang for the buck The classes aren't very expensive and I think you get a well rounded education for the money that you do pay.
What to do for fun Tech isn't really your traditional college but occasionally they do throw student bashes with music and food.
Food and Dining There is a nice cafe lounge area downstairs to eat lunch and relax. Right now the only restaurant downstairs is subway but maybe eventually it will expand.
Dorm Life There are no dorms.
Academic Rigor So far I have found the classes challenging but not too hard. With study and focus it is very possible to pass every class.
Tips for prospective students Stay on top of financial aid, they don't always inform you of the important things.
In three sentences FDTC is a great school for pursuing specific career goals. The instructors are challenging yet helpful. Overall the school provides a great atmosphere.
