Trident Technical College

Overall

A nightmare from the beginning! The enrollment, registration and FA process is filled with many unknowledgeable staff members sending you on a wild goose chase. Courses fill fast, finding online courses relevant to your need after the first day of registration is near impossible. Being an adult learner, who has gone to other colleges outside of the area - I feel as if Trident's focus is NOT on education. Maybe if we focused on education, apposed to getting extra credit hours out of students the experience would be better.

Academics

Semesters are cut in 1/2 - having 2 - 7 week sessions, working, being a parent is awful. Difficult to retain what you are suppose to learn with this pace. For example, a 3 credit hour A&P fused class requires 2 days spent in the lab for 3 hours each week, 1 hour in the testing center a week, in addition to all the online book work for the course.

Overall

Trident Technical College has a wonderful faculty that are experienced, friendly, and willing to help. There are several resources to guide you through your education path. The thing I like the most about Trident Tech is the warm, inviting environment in the classrooms, and the locations of several campuses.

Academics

I have attended classes at three different campuses. I like the intimate environment, and small class sizes at Palmer and Berkeley campuses. The main campus is wonderful too, but the class size tends to be a bit larger. The professors are great no matter where you go. The workload is challenging, especially during the summer semesters, but the professors make it easy to follow.

Campus Facilities & Safety

The atmosphere at Trident Tech is extremely friendly. Parking can be a challenge during the Spring and Fall semesters on the Main and Palmer campuses, but you will always find a spot somewhere. I have always felt extremely safe at all of the facilities.

Overall

What I like most about Trident Technical College is the communication between teachers and students. I like the way classes are set up as well.

Academics

The classroom set up is nice and the programs are set up for everybody whether you work or your only a student.

Campus Facilities & Safety

The campus atmosphere is nice and pleasant and all the computer labs are set up for everyone's convience. The parking could be better.
