  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation.

I didn't exactly hope attending MATC. Considering the fact that this school was not my top choice, talking to very nice teachers and helpful faculty here I am now looking forward to going here at Milwaukee Area Technical College!

Dawn from South Milwaukee, WI
They have a wonderful faculty that are truly passionate about their fields. They also have a great curriculum, and ease of learning. Sadly, some of the students attending give the school a bad name.
