If I could go to TC3 for four years, I would. The value you get out of TC3 is astonishing. Since starting at TC3, I've had many wonderful opportunities like going to Cornell's Nanoscale Facility to learn about their equipment and processes. My engineering professors have all been great, and they're always there if I need any assistance.

GREAT SCHOOL PERIOD !!!
Overall 4
I really like this school. People think TC3 is a school for people who are lazy or are bad students, but the reality is a lot of us are here because we’re poor. Aside from the reputation this school is awesome, especially the STEM departments.

I met some of the best friends i've ever had at my time at tc3. but as an academic institution, it is a complete joke. Disturbingly rude staff, most professors don't care about their students (two separate teachers talked behind my back that I wouldn't amount to anything), and advisers screw you. Getting out in 2 years is not the norm.

Staff doesn't communicate with students well. Resident office doesn't give you notice before coming into your dorm, they also take athletic dorming more seriously than disabled dorming. If you use a wheelchair, don't come here.
Barely any allergen safe food options. If you're not conventionally attractive or an athlete, prepare to be bullied.
