Guilford Technical Community College

If you are looking for an affordable college to go to that has good classes and extremely helpful teachers, then Guilford Technical Community College is the place to go. The facilities are clean, the classrooms are accommodating and comfortable, and there is plenty of parking. The teachers are extremely kind, helpful, and willing to go out of their way to make sure you succeed.

With a very diverse group of individuals whether they are Adults returning to school to seek higher education or career changes, or a Undergraduate student who wants a much more cheap alternative for school, for the first two years of a bacculerate degree. The campus is located to a group of apartments and a grocery store where students can walk to and fro from the apartment complexes on campus. Ultimately GTCC is a mixture of students but, a group of driven students who want to make an impact in their careers and education in general.

I love it! It's a great atmosphere, the instructors are very welcoming, the students are very friendly. Regardless of the fact that it is a community college and it is less expensive than a university, without scholarships it can still be very expensive.

A great place where I could receive support.

I think it is a great school if you are aiming for an associates degree, or want to go ahead and do some easy classes for less money. I have taken classes there for the past two years as a way to get the classes that are less important to me out of the way.

I love my school. Being laid off my job of almost 20 years. Being over 50 years old, I was terrified of going back to school. GTCC embraced me, guided me, and helped me to gain the confidence I needed to pursue a degree. GTCC is very personal and on hands. They really go above and beyond to make sure you get the help that you need to succeed. The staff is very friendly, and everyone is welcomed into the family environment. GTCC offers free tutoring for any subject or class that you take so you never feel lost or alone. I have remained on the Dean's list and been accepted as Ambassador to represent GTCC for future students. Facing my fears and going back to school was the best decision I could have made. Not wanting to be in debt and attending this community college was the best decision I ever made.

This is a great starter school for anyone who is looking for a bridge to a four-year college or university. It is big enough where one can get the experience of a regular campus, but small enough where first-year students would not be overwhelmed. The class sizes are very small and intimate, mostly around 25-30 people. The largest class I have been in was about 60 people. The teachers are very nice, respectable, and funny, of course, there are some that were less so. Overall this is a great campus and one cannot complain about the amount of money you will save attending this two-year college before a regular university.

Good value for the money, but the facilities are a bit out of date, and the graduation rate is really low. I like the online course option but would like more courses to be available online. Parking is a nightmare at the Jamestown Campus, so you need to get to school early to claim your spot.

I think it is a great community college with a lot of different programs. There are a number to extracurricular activities to choose from. Professors are very helpful and I like the overall feel of the school. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in technical programs or for getting prerequisites out of the way as it is also very affordable.

It’s ok, classes offered are good and most instructors are readily available. I’ve had great experiences with some of the instructors. I did not have a good experience with the advisors office and that has left a bad taste for me. I was pretty much told I had to figure the classes needed for my transfer out on my own.
