Nice community college with great teachers great materials and great assistance. I was blessed to attend this community college. Go you won't waste your money they really make sure you take the classes you need.

This is a great community college. They could have more social activities on campus, but it's not a huge deal. Lots of spaces on campus to chill and get your work done. The Grill is good, and all bookstores have snacks, some even have coffee machines. Vending machines all around campus. Most professors are pretty good. Lots of opportunities.

Forsyth Tech is an excellent community college with top rated programs such as their Associates Degree Nursing program. This school has been a wonderful stepping stone to a higher educational degree for a fraction of the cost. And the wonderfully knowledgeable instructors are a bonus! Would recommend to anyone dedicated to seeking a degree!

I decided to go to Forsyth Tech straight from High School after I graduated in 2016. For a community college, I have really enjoyed my time here and have gotten a really great education and am very proud of my school.

You get what you put out. If you try and do what you are suppose to, you will do great. If you are lazy and just want to get by, then you will do poor. Simple as that.

I earned my Nursing diploma (LPN) in 2007 and my Associate Degree in Nursing from FTCC in 2010. It's a very good school. The nursing instructors are very good. Sure their nursing programs are hard, but they want you to succeed and it's doable. I have always been proud that I'm a product of FTCC!

I have no clue about Wifi never use it, and the campus has no dorms.
Bad reviews

- School is not really known for having a great campus atmosphere - Many students act as if they don't care about their education (or their appearance to the professional world) - Bad location - Additional campuses lack resources needed (no wireless internet at some campuses, etc) - No decent sports teams like other community colleges

The administrative department at this school is aweful. You get no help from anyone with the exception of advisors and some tutors. The parking is terrible and the staff is overall very rude. If you have any questions the staff is rarely able to answer you, and if they do, it is often very rude and sarcastic.
Overall 1.2
The staffat this school, with a few exceptions, will not do anything to help their students. The financial aid department refers you to the FAFSA website and nothing else. There are no student activities, and few places to hang out on campus. There is WiFi in one location and it doesn't work half the time.
Overall 1.3
Admin. doesn't give you clear, concise information. It seems like no one knows what's going on. If you have questions, it's hard to find someone who will actually answer them without passing you along to someone else. NO diversity, terrible parking, people here lack common sense. Teaching is mediocre. DO NOT recommend.
Overall 1.4
This is a last resort college. Do not come here willingly! The problem with this college is it has a "get in, get out" statement. . All the buildings are old and the look of the campus is nothing to brag about. Also, the resources on campus are very unhelpful, you have a better chance going to the DMV and getting help.
Overall 1.5
With the exception of a few most instructors are not helpful. I do not recommend FTCC online courses. I originally decided with this college because it offered my degree online. However, all the courses I needed to complete my degree was online. If I had it to go over again I would have went to Surry Community College.
Overall 1.5
They not only dropped me from the only class I needed, but they also didnt notify me about it at all. They cancelled all the french classes even when they told the professor he would be teaching them. This was a HUGE inconvenience for me because that was the only class I needed to transfer.
Overall 1.5
Worst college in NC. No student activities, no guest speakers, 1 wifi location on campus, poor quality teachers that can't thoroughly teach material. Administration is rude & uninformative. School is disorganized,set up w/o student success in mind. Registration is horrible, parking is terrible. Campus Police write tickets but provide no security.
Overall 1.5
awful parking lots, worse teachers, and no one seems to know whats really going on...they keep passing you along until someone can help you, its basically 13th grade.
Overall 1.7
This school is okay. I did not appreciate the way much of the staff treated us as though we were too stupid to function. I think this school is better for people looking to specialize, the college transfer program sucks. It is cheaper, and does get those credits, but you will probably be miserable in the time you have there.
