Megan - 09/25/2024

I'm a current Dual Enrollment student at MTC, and I love it! I've been able to get involved in so many activities and learn so much across my time. The other students are very helpful and the vibe is very focused on success. I recommend any student considering a college path either go to a tech college first, or partake in dual enrollment while still in highschool. It's the perfect transition from at-home, high school level courses, to the big bad college world.

Savannah - 02/24/2020

Midlands Technical College gets the job done when it comes to taking basic classes and/or trade classes. I am here because I didn’t have enough money to attend the College of Charleston after graduating from high school, but my goal is to transfer there for the Fall 2020 semester. The academics here at MTC are okay. The classes that I’ve been taking are mostly a review from what I learned in high school, which is frustrating, and the counselors are either misinformed or just don’t care to relay information in a timely and factual fashion. For example, I almost lost my LIFE scholarship due to my counselor failing to tell me the loophole for required credit hours; I was unaware that I had to take an extra class over the summer (which would have been out of pocket, as the scholarship doesn’t cover summer classes) unless I signed up for five classes instead of four for this semester. In the classes I’m taking so far, I get the sense that teaching isn’t the passion of the professors; with the exception of two professors out of the nine that I have had/have currently, none of them seem to enjoy teaching and only seem to be here to spout the information, and then expect us to actually teach ourselves. I know that that is the goal of college, that one may be able to teach themselves, but when it comes to classes like Biology or Computer Science, we need more hands-on instruction. As a technical college, MTC doesn’t offer housing on campus or help with finding housing off campus. The food services here are mostly just nearby fast food restaurants and the concessions in the bookstore, but we do have a cafeteria that offers edible, if not appetizing, food. The campus facilities are old and rundown; although I can tell the janitorial staff strives to keep the place clean, it is clear that there is a need for new equipment and systems. I gave the school a 4/5 simply because the students that attend here get the teaching they need in order to begin their career or move on to higher education. So the school is adequate in its services, but it isn’t a fun or encouraging atmosphere for most. Most of the staff is condescending or downright rude, and the campus and facilities itself could use some updates.

KayLynn - 01/09/2020

Its a great college and a good opportunity to get the knowledge of a four year college student in two years. I think the the school environment is a safe campus and a great way to get involved with a variety of different activities inside and outside of school.

Joshua - 12/19/2019

It was pretty inexpensive. They saved me a lot of money. But they make you take classes that are really unnecessary and a waste of time and money. The teachers really worked with you but some of them have a bad grading system. During Biology lab we did experiment and quizzes but only got graded on quizzes.

  4. Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.

    Midlands Technical College is a good school, that will allow me to obtain an associates degree and be able to transfer that degree to a four year college. The courses are challenging without being impossible and the professors have been very helpful. I have been able to enroll in the courses I've chosen easily and my advisor has been very helpful. The campus I attend is the Airport Campus; it is laid out well and there are plenty of areas to study, relax or to socialize with other students.

  5. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The only thing I find frustrating is just a personal issue. That is that the campus that is closest to me, the Harbison Campus, is not the where any of the classes I need are ever held. I end up driving at least twice the distance every day to get to classes. Because I'm only able to work part time while going to school full time, the amount I could save on gas would be a huge savings.

  7. What's unique about your campus?

    The best thing about Midlands Technical College would have to be the fact that the classrooms are small. That allows us to have more teahcer-student interaction. That is one thing that I miss about highschool, but I did not have to lose it when I went to Midlands Tech. It is also very valuble when it comes to learning, it is really comforting knowing that your teachers knows you and you can go to him/her and ask questions and get help.
