Greer Campus beautiful, wish the food was a little better, would like to see a lab for pharmacy That you can practice with mannequins like work hospital, make it more true to life and could work with nursing program.
Overall 4.8
Would like to see more programs added at GTC. A pharmacy associate degree to work up to a bachelors degree. Associate in teaching degree, more opportunities to learn. A small coffee bar or something besides a micromarket at the Greer Campus. A starbucks would be wonderful.
Overall 4.8
More food options at Greer Benson Campus and Simpsonville Brashier Campus. Not just vending machines. Cafeteria style food would be great like the main campus.

I wish they offered 4 year degrees! Greenville Tech is an amazing school. I would recommend EVERYONE begin here. The tuition is very affordable and they have grants and scholarships that you could apply for. This University does everything they can to make sure you're successful and prepared.. A plus. Universities can take note from this College.

It was great

Rather have a cafeteria or restaurant on campus at Simpsonville campus and Greer campus. Don't like the whole thumbprint id to buy food. A vending machine needed at Simpsonville campus. Overall, the campus at Simpsonville is a good location and Benson campus is the best campus, just wish more classes were offered there.
Overall 4.6
Food needs to be improved, Micro market machine doesn't take cash, Need more than just sandwiches, snacks and yogurt, and chips. A cafeteria or small restaurant would be nice. Greer and Simpsonville campus's the best, the main campus looks like it did in the 60s and needs an update.

GTC isn't worth the money to attend. Your degree won't be worth the paper it is printed on. You will have a hard time finding a job. You would be better off attending Piedmont Tech b/c at least they care.

Avoid this place like the plague. If you graduate from here, good luck getting a job because it is a diploma mill. They only want you there for the money that they can milk out of you then they will throw you overboard. I graduated with almost 3.9GPA only to find out that my GTC degree was worthless.

I don't think I spoke to anyone the two years I was there because that's just not what its like there. At Greenville Technical College, you go to your classes, and then leave. Everyone is very isolated and the school is literally built on what used to be a dump. The people who help you with advising and getting things sorted out are NOT helpful.

This place is full of rachets. It's gross and it's in the ranky dank side of town, the best part is there is a cookout, zaxbys, and chick fil a two miles down the road!

I sadly don't have enough space to voice my grievances with this school. What I can tell you is that this school wants to take itself more seriously than it is. They have long classes (3 hour lectures for each class time during the Sp and Fa semesters), hit or miss professors, and a science department in desperate need of improvement. Campus is eh.

Parking is absolutely horrible.
Overall 1.8
Spent 3 years here and by far the worst years of my life. Every step of the way was such a challenge because they would do everything to make it difficult. Iv experienced and heard so many horror stories. pass it by if u can. They didn't pay what they said they would of my tuition & waited til a month b4 school ended 2 tell me. Now $2200 in debt.

Overall, Greenville Tech is an okay school to obtain an associates degree if you can put up with the nonsense. There is no places for food, just snacks and they are expensive. There is no social life or clubs worth attending at Tech. The Wifi absolutely sucks. They dont tend to help you with anything. The professors are also hit or miss

The higher ups do not care about you, we recently had a hurricane pass through the area and the higher ups sent out deceptive messages telling students to focus on their family just for us to return to school and be blind sided with 2-3 tests in 1 week!! A lot of students had no power at home to study and they lied to us and didn't prepare us.
