Dallin - 01/23/2020

TCL is an exciting place to attend here in the Lowcountry. TCL Trio programs allows students in grades 6th -12 to explore secondary education options through college and career exploration. Working with a community college will allow you to give back to the community in which we live investing in our community through the community college. TCL encourages students to get involved in community service which will help them obtain scholarship for college.

Matthew - 08/19/2019

Technical College of the Lowcountry is a good school overall. The teachers and staff are always friendly. However, there doesn’t seem to be a big connection between students since it is a small community college. It is very convenient and nice to have a community college in my town to provide me with more opportunities.

Rebecca - 02/05/2019

I am currently enrolled in the dual enrollment program at the Technical College of the Lowcountry. I really enjoy the atmosphere of the campus and I feel like it has prepared me to transfer to a four-year college. The professors are always available to me and they make it very easy if I have a question for them. I have really enjoyed my time at TCL.

Racquel - 11/13/2018

Technical College of the Lowcountry FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Technical College of the Lowcountry?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Technical College of the Lowcountry is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

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

    Take studying for the SAT more seriously and research and apply for more scholarships. This would make going to school much easier and less worrisome. I would plan to finish school all at one time instead of taking a year long break like i did. Try and choose the area of study you you like to be in and see if you could take the required courses part-time and get yourself ahead in the game. This would make the transition from high school to college much easier because you are already familiar with the college setting and it will reduce your initial freshman load. I would also visit more colleges and universities and get a glimpse of campus life and feedback from current students. Practice and develop good study habits and DO NOT procrastinate.

  7. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    My overall opinion of this school is it is great for a two year program only. It is small so you can get the attention that you may need in order to be successful. All of the professors that I have had this far have seemed to genuinely care about me as well as my success in academics. I never feel as if I am just another student to them. They play a large role in my future. Ultimately if you are looking for a two year associates degree and like small campuses TCL is the school for you!
