I love this school as a high school dropout entering school 15 years later with 5 children and a husband to care for I was very unsure about being able to juggle school. FDTC was the exact opposite the instructors are willing to work with you, failing is almost impossible! Made the deans list 2 semesters in a row and gained self confidence!

Absolute nightmare. Faculty are very rude, will not help you resolve issues. Most of the teachers are terrible. Would not refer to my worst enemy and have been to several schools. Loves to play with people lives have talked to several other students and feels the same. Must have to many people going there bc you are treated like another number.

The people that work there must be over worked and under paid. Most of the teachers are terrible and the people work there are rude they treat you like a number and do not work to resolve any issues. NIGHTMARE, This school is the worst and have been to other colleges. I think there is too much of a high demand for education in the area.

There shouldn't be waiting list for the programs. By having a waiting list it takes 4 or 5 years to just enter the program. If they had a extended campus for the programs maybe they could accept more students.

The campus is working on it's image with the new administration, but the left over VPs are stuck to their old ways. As of now the school is comparable to Moscow 1985. The school maintains the facade of a possibly community biased college, but don't try to use the one and only lounge they have, or security will run you off. #feelingoppressed try fmu
