This college is just another community college, they state that they are high tech and offer teachers that are experts in there field. What you get is teachers that may be educated in their fields have no clue how to teach and or outright don't want too. There is nothing to do on campus and there is a small town of a few hundred near by so it offers nothing. The school also overloads students with as much as 20 credits a semester (12 is considered full time). Extra classes like basic computers skills which students already have from high school. The electronic and civil programs are horribly outdated and are not high tech. Vtc brags about working with IBM in Burlington, but IBM has a skeleton crew there and has taken those jobs over seas. One a good note the math department is excellent. They do offer tutoring which helps, and the food and dorms are really basic but tolerable except for noise at night. I know one girl who left after her first semester do to "not feeling safe after hours". I haven't seen any violence but have heard of some, so on that note I think it is a problem. Most of the programs are ok at best but not good or great. If you are looking into this school keep in mind that Norwich university is close by and offers full bachelors in things like civil and mechanical where VTC only offers associates. University of Vermont is located in Burlington and has everything a student would want as well as parents. Plus there are many many other schools that are much better. If you want a basic community college and live close by and don't mind basic this place is for you. Lastly the noise level in the dorms can be horrible depending on which security guard is working. Some nights you cannot sleep or study because of the noise. Locals come to the school to "Party" with the college kids and it is terribly annoying. There is nothing for the VTC students to do so most of them turn to partying or going off campus and looking for "fun" that usually winds up meaning trouble. This is just one students opinion and I was upset with what the web site bragged about and the campus is pretty but after two semesters I have found this place to be a lie compared to what it says on the literature, tour and website. So I rank this school as a big zero and VTC really needs to concentrate on students after hours and updating all of the programs to be at least on par with other local schools. This is my last semester at VTC because I do not want to waste my parents money and I am moving on to a professional school.--
