Great for these types of students Perry Tech is great for all types of people in any stage of life they are in. I have recently started Perry Tech and before this i was working for a mill for 13 years, when i was laid off work. Perry Tech is for those who want to be successful in a job when they are done.
Bang for the buck At Perry Tech you get what you pay for. You are set up for success when you are done and they show you how to be successful.
What to do for fun Hang out with my family and enjoy my kids' sports.
Food and Dining The food is good here and the prices are friendly, they take into perspective people who are on a student's budget.
Dorm Life I do not live in the dorms.
Academic Rigor Classroom work can be a little daunting, but once you get in the swing of things it's not so bad.
Tips for prospective students Come ready to learn. Make sure the field you're going is the one you want to make a career of because that is what you get when you are here. If the work is hard for you, like it is for some of us who have not been in school for awhile, don't get discouraged the instructors here and willing to help you the best they can as well as other students.
In three sentences It is a place that is dedicated to teaching you the in's and out's of the program you're going into. It combines hands on training with academic training so you are better prepared for the job you are seeking when you graduate. It's a great environment; gets you ready for the workplace by implementing a workplace atmosphere and setting, and they set you up for success.

Categories Comments Campus Safety What i did notice is that Perry has security on their parking lot which is very large. They give you a permit parking so you can have a parking space. If you don't have your permit they will tow your car. Their's also a security guard driving by, making sure they all have permits and not bad is going on.
What to do for fun They always have special events going on. We just had a blood drive. This events can always help to do community service for you resume. You do get an e-mail (if you are enrolled in perry)for the events happening that week.
Food and Dining Perry Tech has a food store were students buy there lunch if wanted always available. Our department is far from main campus so they deliver to us. Our dinning is an ok space has everything we need and we get to know each other better.
Dorm Life I actually don't live on campus i drive to school every day. I believe is pretty nice to live on campus. If you need to work on homework easy access to everything.
Academic Rigor So far what I have heard is that most students that graduate from Perry Tech have a job right after. That was one of the most interesting things about Perry that caught me interest in this field. Also i have heard that they give recognition to all perfect attendance students.
Tips for prospective students I'm in the Medical Assistant program and some tips i can give out some tips. This field makes it seem just like work. Always be on time, responsible, organized and always have energy to work and learn.
In three sentences To me Perry Tech has been great. If it were to rate I would definitely give it a 10 out of 10. Its practical, right to the point and makes it an every day routine.

Categories Comments Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The only unusual location on campus is that the parking lot for the new students is located quite a bit away from the actual school.
Bang for the buck If you attend this school you are definitely getting the best bang for your buck.
What to do for fun There isn't a wide selection of extracurricular activities. Usually we just set up sports to play between classmates on the weekends.
Food and Dining There is a deli located inside the cafeteria. They don't have a large variety of different food but there is open campus so you are free to get food from the surrounding restaurants.
Dorm Life There are no dorms on campus although the school has made a deal with another local college to set you up in their dorms. The dorms there are what you would expect from a typical college dorm.
Academic Rigor The difficulty of the classes are surprising as some of them require all your focus and attention. The ITCS program is the one I'm attending and requires a good knowledge of math.
Tips for prospective students If you are looking into attending you can be sure that your are getting the best educational quality for your dollar. The teachers and staff are able to assist you with and potential questions you may have.
In three sentences This school is of very high academic standards especially for the cost. I'm not too fond of the strictness of their attendance policy. Acquiring a job after graduating has been said to not be that difficult.
