I LOVE Taft College, there are so many perks offered to students for tutoring, financial assistance, the campus is CLEAN. All the professors I've had were amazing and wanted to see either students succeed. I wish TC was a 4 year university, I would stay if I could.

Horrible school. Whatever you do, do NOT apply for the dental hygiene program. They do not help you succeed or even care about their students.
Overall 1.5
Campus is unexciting and classes are hard to get. Its like second high school, but you cant find a parking place. School pride is nonexistent. The food is way overpriced. But most of the professors genuinely care, which is something you dont find often.
Overall 1.6
Middle of no where. Nothing goes on at this school its boring and the sports suck.
Overall 1.6
Taft is in the middle of nowhere. Socially its what you make out of it. Not many things to do on your spare time there but to go to the student union, which is a game room in a class that has poorly treated billiard tables and a ping pong table. The only good thing about this school is the class sizes which are small
Overall 1.7
Some of the staff is pleasant, but I don't care for the teachers and professors there. I had a problem with an instructor and filed a grievance, the Administrator that handled my complaint was not helpful. They stick by the teachers and do not take into consideration the students problems or issues. I would not recommend this college to anyone.
