Wake Tech has been nothing but amazing to me. Opportunities at every corner, all you have to do is embrace them. I am extremely grateful for this school.
Overall 4.8
Great school to get a feel of what to expect at the university level. Come here to really take your life and career serious and get all of your general ed classes completed for pennies. Don't leave until you have your associate's even if transferring to a university. I played sports so I didn't experience any lack in social life.

This college is bad.

Very depressing to go here because everyone would rather be at a University. However, if you are trying to save money, this is the place for you. I had the grades to get into most public Universities in NC, but I did not have sufficient funding. I hate everyday here.
Overall 1.9
Wake Tech is good school to start off with if you want to transfer to a university, but if you are interested in things such as clubs or even friends I suggest you look elsewhere considering everyone but the lounge are to themselves. if your looking for easier classes before you transfer its best to take the classes you don't like here.

Wake Tech is a profit-focused institution that appears only to champion the interests of its shareholders. Wake Tech will nickel and dime its students without remorse and engineer its system to bog students down, leaving them indebted and empty-handed. Wake Tech is a far worse option than any online-only available. You have been warned.

You get what you pay for. Very few of my professors have been outstanding. A lot of my professors just do this job part time for some un-known reason. Apparently you do not even need to know how to teach to be a professor at WTCC.

Generally an okay school. No one really talks to you so don't expect to make friends. Professors are good. Big age gap. Kind of a depressing atmosphere but if you want to learn go for it.
