I love the school, it is small but the education opportunities are as big as any other school. We do not have sports teams but with CCU right next door we have the opportunity to participate in the sport culture. There are always food trucks and our on campus Starbucks so there’s no need to leave campus in between classes. Plenty of places to study, it’s a calm but fun environment. I would definitely recommend it to any student looking for an affordable education.

Brinkley - 09/02/2022

Horry-Georgetown Technical College is a great school for students who are raised in South Carolina and those who are from out of the country. Most of my professors were not only excellent teachers but also incredible people, they all wanted to be there and teach. The classmates I had in my major were incredibly tightknit. We all knew each other and had daily conversations. The staff and admissions people at this school are always very patient and helpful, I never had a question go unanswered about my educational career. Overall it was a great experience and I loved going here.

Horry-George Town is a college that really feels like a Family. It is a very humble school with very down to earth students and teachers. Initially, when I told some of my friends I was going to Horry George town they looked down on me. They saw it as just a technical college and did not respect it and to some degree neither did I before I started to attend it. The teachers are so passionate and cultured. One of my favorites professors Babatunde is from Nigeria is an extremely interesting and understanding teacher. He taught me more math in a semester then I learned in almost all of high school. Because of the cost of attending HGTC and the transfer program, it offers we have a very diverse school. Ive met people from Algeria, Morroco, Israel, Ethiopia. Nigeria and many more places. Horry Georgetown has been an amazing experience and I'm glad to have gone, I would highly recommend it to anyone as a perfect start for your college career.

Kelsey - 02/09/2019

My time at Horry-Georgetown Technical College was spent in the PACE (Program for Accelerated College Enrollment) as a high school senior, so I cannot really speak on behalf of all its students. It's a nice way for 11th and 12th graders to earn college credit by actually dipping their feet into the water, attending a brick-and-mortar academic setting. At the Grand Strand campus where I attended, there are vending machines with a variety of snacks, a cafe with limited hours, a selection of fascinating classrooms, a lovely outdoor shopping center near campus, and a bookstore. However, there is no known housing or extracurricular activities, or at least they aren't heavily promoted. Still, I do recommend it for students who desire to get ahead in terms of credit.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Knowing what I know now about college, if I was able to go back in time to when I was a senior I would tell my self to study more and not to procrastinate when it comes to doing the work needed. The better the grades are in college the better off I am beacuse the final grade that is recieved at the end of the class is what tells where you go on the list with the other students for that program you want. So the better the grades the higher on the list you go the worst the grades the lower on the list and the longer you have to wait to become what you want to be.
