Starting in 1912, city vocations schools were formed at six locations (Appleton, Brillion, Kaukauna, Menasha, Neenah, and Oshkosh) in the current district. In 1967, the Wisconsin legislature divided the state into 16 districts, which led to the formation of Fox Valley Technical Institute (FVTI).

Question: college pricing.. Fox valley technical college... ?I want to know how much college would be; books & supplies [plus] a dorm room [plus] admission [plus] whatever else I'll need13 months ago
Best AnswerIf you are referring to Fox Valley Tech in Appleton WI, your best source of information about tuition and fees is their website: www.fvtc.edu. FV is a technical college, so they don't have dormitories. You'll have to check for housing in the Appleton Post-Cresent newspaper or in a rental website like ApartmentGuide.com. Books and supplies will be determined on in what courses you register, how many books are required for each and if you buy used or new books. I encourage you to contact their admissions office. They can give you the best answers to your questions. Fox Valley is a great school. Nice campus and I've known a number of people who worked there as well as graduated from there. Appleton is a terrific city. Not too expensive and lots to do in the area. Good luck to you |
