I do not recommend attending this school. I've been a student there for 2+ years and have had enough. There is much talk about support for the students but little action or substance. If you go to MATC, know that you are on your own and that administration, teachers, etc will makes mistakes and you ...
The phone service and communication is beyond horrific. Everything is automated and if you leave a message do not expect a return call. Are there any live people to speak to anymore? There needs to be some changes. Zero Rating if I could!
Dont try in apeal anything cause its a waste of time. They , as in they the teachers lie for each other and they take their proof but not the student. Down town and most likely the others. When its allowed its allowed. BS is all I can say about MATC.. Joke
I've had so many issues and confusion with this school. Be prepared to receive different responses from different staff, not much help when you need it.
I selected MATC because I did research for a college that offered IT programs and was flexible. The way the program is set up, you can get certified in many different areas of IT Programs. One of the things that I like about the program is the instructors are willing to work with students. I really...
By far the worst school I've ever dealt with and I've not even physically been here. I applied and sent over all of my transcripts. I received a very unprofessional email saying they didn't receive one of the ones I had sent over. I replied with a screenshot of the receipt I got saying they had alre...
I registered for an online programming class at Milwaukee Area Technical College. I called the registration office in Mequon in the summer of 13 to sign up for this class. It cost me $450.00 all together plus the text book. As part of the registration, I was given access to what they call the Blac...
This is not an honorable institution. Please try to get your education elsewhere.
I really wish I could give MATC a higher rating. Maybe I'm out-of-touch, but I've always felt the reputation was fairly positive... truth be told, this school is a waste of time and money. The administrative side of everything is lacking ANY communication skills, and you'll get shuffled around to ...
MATC was a life changing affordable experience for me. I'm currently working on my 2nd degree which will only take me 2 semesters due to my previous degree there, my experience in my new field that's paying for it based off of my previous experience at MATC, and my flexible instructors that understa...
An insane amount of communication mishaps within the administration, it doesn't make sense who they appoint to run the school. Counselors don't return my emails. But most teachers do their best to help.
The only reason i am still going here is because I love the tv video program. Some of the basics (math, English, science,etc) teachers here are good but a lot of them really lack communication with students, don t know how to teach, and don t feel they need to help out a lot of them because teachers...
This is a good school but it's all what you make of it, you have to stay focused it's a lot of destructions here but overall a great school from my experience lots of opportunities
Go Elsewhere! I used to Attend the CSG(Computer Simulation and Gaming) program and One of my instructors was a guy that wants the best from his class yet he does little help those that are struggling:
Be Mindful from my experience:
-If you struggle or have a hard time there and you ask an inst...
MATC continuously astounded me for all the wrong reasons. I attended for one semester in 2011 and never returned. I registered early and attended their Smart Start session (Nov, 2010) to ensure a smooth entrance experience. I never heard back and called all through December to learn what was going o...
It s so unorganized. If you want to get a degree here, you d better to talk to at least 5 different people to find out the correct information because each person would give you different informations.
I ve met some really good teachers, but also a couple of the worst teachers as well. With COVID a...
not good at all. not organized either find a better school
M.A.T.C is a quality school with helpful instructors and staff. I choose the IT support specialist program to gain a solid foundation of the basic skills needed to enter the ever expanding world of information technology. I think that other students will like the many avenues available to receive t...
IT is such an abstract yet familiar subject to many people in the modern world. People rely a great deal on their mobile devices and spend hours of the day on their cell phones for either leisure or professional purposes.
IT has existed for a long time but did not start catching people's attentio...
LOOK, I was hoping to go to school here, but all these good and bad reviews close to being even, I'm just trying to find out if its a good school for the computer science field to further my education but DAMN this school must either be a rip-off or its a good school........starting to seem a little...
There needs to be more tutors for IT Support in the specific categories of IT Support.
I chose to go into the IT Support Program because computers always interested me and seeing that I can make a career out of it brought me to MATC. I chose MATC because I started at tenor which gave me the opportunity to study there for 2 years free along with additional help. The IT programs are hel...
Be prepared to get highly irritated when dealing with anyone at this school. Phone calls are put on hold for 2 hours the financial aid office is staffed with a bunch of people who don't care and won't help you on how to get additional funding that is as easy as filling out an online form saying you ...
I haven't even enrolled. I've been trying to get answers from staff and instructors and I get no response. Do you even want enrollment? When someone did call me back it was two days later. I literally called within 10 seconds of a missed call and they didn't pick up. I emailed the person and the...
I wish I could rate zero stars. Nothing about this place was good. Teachers couldn't teach or wouldn't who knows, they screwed me over big time for financial aide then after they told me I was all set and didn't have to worry about anything else they called me at the end of the semester and told me ...
the teachers are ok...I believe they don't give me a grade I deserve they give me a grade they want me to have so I can be forever trying to be succesful... I feel like the teachers are unfair in some cases they will have you confused!!
I haven't started class yet.
I have gone through hell and back to take one summer math course which I have yet to attend.
Every staff member I have encountered on the phone, seeking answers to questions, has been RUDE. Like, mean rude, as if I called them at home. The lady who picked up when I c...
- I am currently at MATC campuses in the IT Computer Support Specialist program. I chose MATC because as a student with disabilities, I needed a program that would allow me to go at my own pace. MATC was a perfect fit as I can only attend 2-3 classes weekly. I love IT because it has made the world ...
I currently go to school at MATC. It overall is a good school considering that it is a technical school. I've learned a lot being there and there are a lot of resources there. The downfall is that some people don't do there job and all the good teachers are about to retire.
During my time at M.A.T.C , though times with my teachers and Administrator were rough ., Part time studies was great , diligent and challenging . The Atmosphere was great also . I studied the Academic foundation program and earned my third Degree through an off campus studies program as a Counselor...
Decent Staff and Decent Facilities in a safe part of the downtown area. But, you get what you pay for, and tuition is very reasonable.
This is by far the absolute worst experience I have ever had. I regret ever attending here and having to hand over any money. They are full of the wrong info and not one person employed through the school actually cares at all! The most of the teachers don't actually try to make your education worth...
I was misguided into applying for extra aid that ended up being a full blown loan that I now have to pay $8,000 for. I was told by 2, TWO, school financial administrators when applying that assured me it was not a loan. When it came to my graduating year, the files the school kept said I had not tak...
MATC is very close to my house and I plan on getting an Associated degree there because there is a high demand in the IT field. I choose IT over other areas of studied because the demand is very high for IT workers as we move in to the future. One of the deciding factors in attending MATC was is aff...
Commuted back and forth from Illinois for the 2 years I went here and it was worth it. The teachers were great. I never had a problem that went unsolved. It's a great school all around. If it wasn't so far away, I would probably go back for another degree. I highly recommend it and it's very afforda...
I am just trying to get tickets for the schools 5 Star Event for 2016. No one I ask and no telephone numbers I call know anything. I got one guy who said he'd look into it Wednesday morning. He said I'll call you back in an hour. That was over 24 hours ago so i am not holding my breath. The personn...
I have been trying to enroll as an at-large student for two months. I can never get through to admissions (you are caller number 14...30 minutes later...you are caller 13). I've emailed individual professors and don't get a response. I've even tried navigating their ridiculously complicated website....
Most teachers are decent and helpful but everything about the administration is unbelievably beyond screwed up. No one seems to know how to solve problems I had trying to register for fall semester and the counselors I met kept giving me run-around for weeks but no one could actually help me resolve...
The bookstore people are very rude. A lady got an attitude when I was asking her questions about a book trying to make sure I had the right one because I had paid for a different one that happened to be the wrong one. They need better staff. Also they told me financial aid covers both my classes and...
Instructors and staff are awesome and very supportive. They will help you get to where you want to be, holding your degree!
This is my second year here and in regards to the school, it's not bad. The students here are like high school/middle school kids, so be aware. The downtown campus needs to have better student benefits with parking. We pay for a parking permit yet still have to pay for parking. And then if we lose t...
The petition process for the health care programs is appalling. You have to jump through so many hoops for the simplest program it is ridiculous. And you only have 4 weeks to do so. That isn't even enough time to get the "30 days apart two TB test"... and you have to send it all through a third part...
The "advisors" are very lazy and have no desire in helping students. The staff at the bookstore is VERY rude. When I walked in, I had no idea that they were closing as I am new to the school and wanted to get my books. Instead of greeting me and politely informing me of the hours, the staff all yell...
I chose MATC IT Computer Support for my education because I wanted to be close to home and also wanted to further my education. I like Informative Technology. I like Information Technology because I was always fascinated how things worked and how to repair computers. This program will help me reach ...
Basically, they are terrible at giving information. I was on the wrong mailing list for my dental hygiene program, ended up doing the entire thing to get into my program, and apparently have been doing all of the wrong things. When I finally talked to the head of the program ( after talking to 3 oth...
This school is trash. The bookstore always posts incorrect hours and everyone that works there is rude and unhelpful. Advisors have absolutely no clue what they are doing. I will say, they have some good instructors, but other than that, MATC is a complete joke.
I contacted the specialist about the associate degree of accounting, as I had a BA in business but it is hard to find a qualified job so I was thinking of getting the accounting degree (but not to be a CPA). The specialist who is not familiar to the accounting world, not to mention the CPA exam.
...
I called about 20 minutes ago, I am now on hold the 8th person in line. I had to take ONE TEST
Human Service Instructors are outstanding (specifically, Mrs S. Chavez) ... Genuine, Caring, and Fair. As well, she is knowledgeable, informative and sincere. On top of this, she has compassion!
Based upon my experience at MATC - SPECIFICALLY - that of Mrs. Chavez, a lady of maturity, and class...
Great school, they genuinely want to help you instead of take your money.
I have never had so many issues doing anything in my life. Matc has made so many mistakes and made things a lot harder for me with just about every thing I have done there. Guess it would be effective to add that I m on hold w MATC for 46 minutes so far and counting to solve another on of their issu...
DO NOT GO TO THE DOWNTOWN CAMPUS; AS A GUEST OR A STUDENT. The aid offices are run by complete idiots and gave me millions of different answers to my questions all of the time. My program never had enough teachers so I ended up getting certain ones for 3 classes in a row and never learned a thing I ...
So far, everything on mine has been messed up or misplaced. The financial aid personal are horrible. They ended up messing up my summer2015 information by making a duplicate account and it took them months to fix it and I came it 3 times a week sometimes even more and they just wouldn't fix it. Then...
I wish I didn't have to pick a start for this institution, because they shouldn't keep your diploma you worked your butt off for like a hostage!! I graduated in 2016, paid my last semester fees in January of 2017 & I'm still waiting for my diploma. I found out I have to "request" my diploma durin...
Garbage school. Want to get on the phone with them? Good luck. You'll get transferred and told to call someone else, before they transfer you back to the same person and give you a different number to try calling. The people you might manage to get a hold of, don't want to speak to you and have no d...
There are many reasons why I chose MATC for an Associate degree in IT Computer Support. MATC has an excellent academic program and degree with state-of-the-art facilities. Education is up to date with the rapid growth of today s technology. This gives me confidence that I will not only get the best ...
I have been going to MATC for the summer '20 semester and my overall experience is the lowest of the low. There are so many issues wrong with this school and the main problem is the terrible communication and terrible customer service. Everytime you call to speak to someone whether it be admissions ...
MATC was great! It is the best place to start college if you aren't ready for a big and pricey university. Keep in mind that the more you put in, the more you get out. College doesn't coddle. You have to take responsibility for your actions.
*Also, make sure you have enough self discipline for an...
No Financial Aid -
I began my enrollment into MATC in August 2018. By the time Dec 2018 came, I still had not been awarded any financial aid for the Spring Semester of 2019. I called every 3 weeks to inquire, if there was any news, or anything I needed to do. They assured me I would receive my fi...
I go to MATC now. It's pretty bad. There are a few good teachers. I have been going for 3 semesters now. I am also a veteran. The financial aid office personal is horrible. They are rude and take forever to help you. The veteran financial aid person is even worse. There is only one guy who does it. ...
If I could give 0 stars I would, but that is not an option. I have studied at 2 other colleges before moving to Wisconsin and going back to school, this is by far the worst school I have ever encountered. Most teachers were excellent, but the administrative staff is terrible!!!! One of my classes ...
