I love Athens Tech! Because it is a technical college, I feel as if ATC is definitely underrated, but I think that it is a fantastic choice for people who would like to graduate and almost immediately have a job in a high-demand field right out of school.

Love the campus and teachers! Small enough where you can get 1 on 1 time with your professors if you have questions and they always are helpful. Obviously there are a few bad apples here and there but for the most part everyone there is trying to help you succeed in college! Also, the library facility is pretty underrated.. just saying.

Athens Tech might not be very popular college, but it is a great school. They are here to help us :) With small classes, it is easier to learn. I recommended everyone to come to Athens Tech..

I love being at Athens Tech! The faculty and professors are super helpful and nice. The library was recently remodeled and is a great place to study and hang out. Most students are pretty friendly and respectful. Could use more food options on campus though.

So far i don't care for the staff, questions they don't want you to know the answers to .they just stone wall you ! i think there are another college worth looking at not far away . Piedmont college, most likely going to leave Athens Tech, it has a poor retention rate, something like 29% . to me that says a lot too how this college rates. poorly

Most of the professor that have taught me were awesome. On the other hand, some of those who work in administrative postion such as Admission do not need to be working in the customer service aspect of the college. Parking is terrible; there are not enough spaces to accommodate the number of students.

Will be transferring out ASAP. HATE every second I have to spend on this campus. No good food on campus, they don't even have a cafeteria, just a Jittery Joe's that serves crappy expensive sandwiches. The majority of the people that attend seem to be nursing students.

There isnt much to like about Athens Tech (except the professors). The student union is basically nonexistent, the administration is rude has no oversight and will hardly answer or return calls. Parking near campus for faculty far outnumbers student parking youre literally searching for parking while you pass by swaths of empty staff spaces.

Its war trying to find a parking spot, and the front office people are useless, and the bookstore manager is rude and money hunger they double charged me and would not give me a refund for the over charge I had to go to head quarters just get my money back. The professors on the other hand are cool, they pretty much make the only reason why i stay.

The whole campus administration is disorganized. They do not even have air condition in some of the class rooms because the units were stolen and have not been replaced after over a month. WiFi is only in library and front office area. Very in convenient for a college campus. Most of the instructors are good. Although most are adjunct professors
