I seriously love this school. I went for one year when I was in the Clemson Bridge Program, and I've since transferred to Clemson University, but there are still times when I miss this place. Professors are wonderful and caring, the students are so nice, and the campus is beautiful even though it's small. It's the PERFECT place to start out!

I absolutely love this school. The faculty and staff are amazing they are helpful, caring, and genuinely want to see you succeed. Picking Tri-County Tech to continue my education has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

The campus is very well kept and it's curriculum is excellent for the advancement in a multitude of career choices. From the instructors I've dealt with, I can honestly state that this is a school that really cares about it's students. Reasonably priced, countless opportunities, with people that want to help you succeed.

Do not go here. Not one helpful, nice person is employed here. If you messed your GPA up previously, don't even try to get financial aid (no help) or get signed up for a semester any time soon! I would not refer anyone to this campus.

This school tries to act like they are a real university when they are far from it. I have been here for a year and have yet to have someone who has not messed something up on my account, which has cost me hundred of dollars. Advisors are terrible. The staff is disrespectful and could care less about helping you get where you need to go. Terrible!

Attendance policy: is harsh and not in student favor.
Assault: Was assaulted twice while on campus reported one with no results.
Grades: Many teachers wait until the end of semester to post grades. One week after finals and still waiting for grade on any of the semester.
Fafsa reports.

Every teacher I had was average at best. I attended the Bridge Program at this school and it was the biggest mistake of my life. You spend the money to live at Clemson but get an education that is worthless. If you plan on doing the Bridge Program seriously consider attending another school and transferring to Clemson the following year.

There are a few good classes and a good amount of bad. I could not find good humanities classes. I struggled with getting help, everyone was always booked. Wish i could of taken sciences classes at different locations of tech.

This school is what it is. It's the only community college around and they know it. There are very few online courses and not even all of the general education courses are available online. They have limited night classes and those are only on certain campuses, and forget weekend courses Very limited course selection, almost better to go to G-ville

don't make this the only place you attend school. go to university, more to do, opportunities, just better than this dump.

Ew. hate it.

The hill is absolutely killer to walk up but mostly the serious problem is PARKING. There's nowhere to park. They've taken up parking lots at other places and you have to bus over. But that takes about 30-40 minutes out of your busy day just waiting for the bus to get to your car. Also, extremely disorganized curriculum.
Overall 1.8
The staff of Tri-County (not teachers) are unhelpful and have a very no care attitude. They will bounce you around a 100 times and no one will have time or will attempt to make time. Plus half of the teachers have a language barrier which makes it very hard for me as a student to comprehend and learn.
