Kelsey

A well safe place and some effort work to be done, good team work with the right people in the right group that supports a lot of skill and give it there all to make a great word presentation or power point. Listen to each other in class, follow the class notes and study that work at time to time before the next week comes. Show that you care and are not going around doing stupid actions to keep people from forming something great for a business they want to go into one day.

Bella

Overall, I have found this institution to be good. The building is clean and the facilities are well maintained. I have had smaller class sizes, and an easier time meeting with advisors and professors because of it. I have found a good groups of friends through the Sports at the school. The best part about the school though, is that there are so many adults in the building that I can turn to because I know they want me to succeed.

Hope

I enjoy the school! It is small and has great teachers and opportunities! I like that I have a personal relationship with all of the students in my major and some outside of it as well! My teachers are more like family! They are always there to help me when I need it. Overall DCTC is a great school!

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Make every attempt and maximum effort to attend college immediately after high school; do not take any time off. It is much harder to go back to school if you take time off and find yourself in a career between schooling. With that career will come bills and obligations that are not easily over looked. You may think you are invincible and nothing can hold you back but when you get into your daily routine outside of the school life it will take a major adjustment period putting your life on hold to go back and hit the books. You have all the resources and freedom of time now to dedicate yourself to school and you will soon realize this is a privilege that won?t last forever. The sooner you get into college and get your degree the sooner you can get into a career you will enjoy, take it from yourself, you will not enjoy the career you fall into that was only supposed to be a summer job while you relaxed. Do not hesitate; seize the opportunity before you now and you will thank me for it in the future. Carpe diem!
