If you want, MATC has it. You might have to look. Great variety of classes in a format that fits you. I will take classes in person (my favorite), but also can take them virtually if travel is an issue, or simply online at my own pace when the need arises. Talk about flexible offerings.
I enjoy the student life opportunities. MATC rocks!

Once you walk in into the building, it's very comforting. There are friendly faces everywhere! Professors say good morning as they walk past you. Lectures are great!

The college has four campuses for easy accessibility around the city. Each campus fosters an environment for students to interact and engage in social events. The college also provides unique discussions and guests to the college. Students just need to be able to manage their time and get involved. Earned my degree in 2014 and onward to UWM.

Honestly, I love it here. There are unfortunately too many students on campus that aren't really serious about learning and kind of loiter around, but for those of us who really want to get moving with our future, it's pretty nice here. My professors are really friendly and helpful.

Most of the teachers are excellent. There were only a select few who suck. I mean the good ones were really good and the bad ones were just terrible.

Terrible school system.

This place has the worst help imaginable. Its like the trump administration runs the school with how lazy and incompetent the system is.

I had to stop attending a class and report the instructor. The school did absolutely nothing. Three weeks pass and I get an email letting me know someone in that class tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Two MORE weeks pass before they tell me they "rectified" the situation, and I don't get a refund because I stopped going to the plague rats class.

MATC's got to be the worst Technical College I've been. The place is disgusting, most instructors are awful, don't bother calling any campuses because you'll just be on hold, and when they do answer they redirect you to square 1. DO NOT go to the downtown campus! That is the worst one. Only Campus i recommend is the Mequon one.

The financial aid and office staff lack knowledge and would rather pass you along to the next person rather than helping you. It is a never-ending cycle of talking to different people just to figure out ONE problem that falls into their job description. No one here sincerely wants to help you or cares about your situation.

This is a stepping stone school, not a school someone attends to be "proud of where they are attending". The administration of MATC is DEPLORABLE, but the professors really aren't bad (for the most part). I see MATC as the school for those who can't afford to go somewhere better.
