It is a great school. The Professors go above and beyond to help you succeed! I wish I could get my bachelor's degree here. The campus is safe, and the culinary school does an excellent job with the food. Love the free breakfast for everyone. I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. GO HERE!

I love OTC as a school. I just completed my second semester here and I wish I could just stay here forever. I love the fact that we all feel like we're a part of a big family. One other I care a great deal about is safety especially when it comes to campus safety. As a female, I feel very safe on campus because I always see security.

OTC will help you find a job in your field because of internships in your career. The atmosphere is really inviting and fantastic.

besides the OTC SMARTCARD fee that is charged EVERY SEMESTER, and the lack of parking. (show up at least 30 mins before your class to drive around in circles to get a spot!) - This is a good quality school.

I didn't really want to go here at first, but over the two years I was here, I learned to love it. I felt safe and supported the entire time I went here. I had some amazing teachers and you can tell how much the school cares about the students. Going here feels like being part of a close-knit family.

This isn't a college, it's a glorified high school.
Overall 1.4
Gotta do what you gotta do.
Overall 1.7
The sheer amount of difficulty surrounding the financial aid process coupled with the overall abhorrent communication throughout all of the different sections of the campus, make OTC one of the absolute worst "college" experiences in SGF.
Overall 1.8
This school is pretty closed minded. They cater to highschoolers instead of running OTC like a college. It may be hard to navigate to because of all the dead links on their website, but you should really look up there graduation rate and the demographics of the school. Outside of health occupation the school is low quality.

Already have a B.S. returned here for professional development. Once you've been in the real business world for 15+ years I haven't a professor yet who could challenge my intellect. Maybe a good jump start out of high school, but not for seasoned professionals. Was trying to save a buck. NOT equivalent to professional development at all.
