Midlands technical college

I attended Midlands Tech for 2 years getting my associates in Mechanical Engineering before transferring to USC to get my bachelor's degree. I can say now that MTC definitely prepared me for the upper level engineering classes at USC. The Northeast Midlands Tech campus is especially nice!

Cleanest mildlands campus and by far the cleanest campus Ive ever been to. Great engineering staff. Proud to say I attended here.

Shereece Hooks is amazing! She had a lot of knowledge about the Civic we looked at! She s very professional and kept us laughing. I would definitely recommend you to ask for her anytime you visit! Thanks again, Midlands Honda!

I feel bad for people who have no choice but to study here. After taking three classes this summer, it is clear why this college has rock bottom graduation rates. In addition to being an overall poor place to learn, they aren't afraid to take your money. This fall, I had to drop my classes unexpectedly to take a job offer (basically a necessity during the pandemic) and they refused to refund any portion of what I paid because I dropped one day after the one week drop deadline. I have never attended a college that didn't give at least a partial refund. The people at the cashier's office were extremely rude, treated me like I held out a week on purpose, and did nothing to accommodate my circumstances. Don't waste your time here.

I am in the Computer Technology program and am supposed to be completing my last semester, however we are at midterm and I am now finding out I have 1 more class to take . This is particularly infuriating because not only did my advisor tell me how many courses i needed to take to graduate, but Financial aid department told me that the aid for the semester was awarded based on how many credit hours i needed to graduate (I am taking the classes that I was told and showed I needed). Overall, in my 2 years as a student, my opinion has always been that's it is very much a subpar school-regarding the staff as well as education quality. My first semester (my education foundation) I had 2 that didn t care and literally booted you out of the classroom before class was over as they had other things to do. The computer advisors are extremely ill prepared to help anyone. They continuously have no idea what each class will teach you, do not know which classes you should take for any career path, and are usually new personnel each semester. I, like many other students here, have a family outside of school and do not have the means to be a student and unemployed for another semester. Also, they don't have ANY tutors for the computer department! This makes things VERY difficult. The teachers do what they can in their office hours, and I can name 3 or 4 that are worth calling a teacher/professor and actually care about the subject and students. They claim to help you find a job after, and boast they have company s asking them for their graduates however this is not easily accessed, nor are there plentiful opportunities once graduated. The level of education and subjects taught seem not to be in line at all with what is desired by companies.

I went to midlands tech for many years. I struggled through the nursing program (and associates in arts and associated in science programs) for years as a single mother of a child with disabilities who was also exiting a decade long abusive relationship. I walked on a broken foot for four months through Clinicals in order to make it, had a foot surgery, totaled cars, and 20+ hours a week of therapies for my son with disabilities. And still I made it to my LPN semester only to end up in the hospital the last week before finals. I was told that I could not have a medical drop as I had received one for my foot surgery and was forced to take test 3,4, and the final in the week following my visit to the hospital. My grade dropped from a 90 to a 79.4 and I was told that I d have to repeat everything all over again. The ombudsman and the VP went to Mrs. Bannister and begged her to allow an exception based off of the healthcare related nature of my situation and she refused. This place ruined my life and left me with no way to support my child and no nursing career after I already had a job waiting for me on the surgical trauma floor at Richland. After everything I lived through and survived. I am still traumatized. This place will ruin your life. DO NOT ATTEND THIS COLLEGE! Edit: In addition to my previous post this school is taking it a step further and denying me the right to participate in graduation after everything I have been through due to me being locked out of my MTC email (PS who only sends email info on a school email? nothing in the mail?) and was unable to receive the notification in time and they are now refusing my participation in graduation. I wish I could let anyone at that school know what they've done to me, my family, and my life. I HATE THIS SCHOOL and I've never hated anyone or anything!

The instructors are good but I always have charges popping up from billing department. Too many fees also I have been having an issues getting my v a enrollment sent up. I signed up for classes a month ago.

Great location, great looking buildings, and friendly staff

This school is a sad excuse for a technical college. They will have you jump through hurdles and hoops to get any kind of tuition assistance and to attend this school that is low rate. It's no wonder why people say Columbia doesn't have any opportunities for you to get further in life. WE NEED BETTER TECHNICAL COLLEGES. I hope this school shuts down and they replace it with a non money hungry technical college. Take my advice and go to a University.
