    Am learning a lot

    I am learning a lot. We have wonderful teachers and a very diverse and affordable(cheap) college, MATC is a college that don't discriminates based on grades or ACT s or SAT s. They understand the lives of student, they know that we are not just students we are also parents, and not typical parents teen moms. They know that we are wives and husbands and they accommodate us because they know times are hard. They only thing that i do wish they improved was more help with scholarships and grants.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am enjoying being there because you learn how to deal with different cultures and religions. The professors really do try to help those who really do want help and not just trying to get a check. MATC is college that treats you like an adult and not a child. They understand that in the real world you have to deal with mature responsible people,In the world they expect you to be responsible and mature.
    Bang for the buck

    MATC is very affordable. Most colleges have you in debt before you start. Most of the times you receive a refund from your pell grant at MATC. With other colleges they make sure you have nothing left. MATC don't get you for all you got, they try to give back, And I love that about MATC.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are thinking about attending MATC I will recommend that you know how to communicate in a professional manner, be responsible and mature.
    Great for these types of students

    For anyone who is looking for a Associate Degree. This college is for students who are struggling, who is a parent or single parent, for someone who may need help with government assistance. For someone who likes to be in a diverse college.This college is great for students who is looking for employment, MATC has job fairs like every 2-3 times a month. MATC also help students that wants to further their education, MATC partners up with the 4 year colleges so once your done you will have no problem registering for the college you will be like pre-enrolled, they also have college fairs, healthcare fairs, blood drives etc. MATC have so much to offer for the students that attend the college. And they show you so much respect and love.

    On a scale of one to ten, I would rate MATC a six. I do this because I enjoy it, but the teachers are not as devoted as other colleges I have toured.

    Really spend the time to look at schools and just because its cheaper does not mean it is a great school. Also try to visit your counselor as much as you can to get a grasp on your courses and goals.
    Academic Rigor

    Its challenging compared to high school, yet I feel like it could be more fulfilling.
    Dorm Life

    I do the commute to school everyday, thus I wouldnt know.
    Food and Dining

    The food is classic cafeteria food, such as the food at almost every high school.

    I like to go to work for fun, or play basketball.
    Bang for the buck

    It is a good bang for the buck.

    There are plenty to do and join.
    Greek Life

    Greek life doesnt affect my school at all.

    I feel very safe there, due to the constant presence of security.

    matc milwaukee is a very interesting place. it is filled with students from various and multiple backgrounds. it you want a multi-cultural experience, you will experience multi-cultural diversity at the milwaukee campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    communicate with your teachers, they are generally very helpful. from my understanding the communication processes with the staff/teachers at matc are simple and the teachers accessible which makes it much easier to get feedback and information regarding your studies, etc... than at a larger school. matc is also a good place to restart the education process especially if you've been out of the loop for awhile.
    Academic Rigor

    varies with the teacher. some good teachers....
    Dorm Life

    no dorm

    Will learn a lot

    The culinary program is amazing. I spoke to students and looked at both this program and the program for Art Institute of Wisconsin. The program at MATC is much better and costs much less.
    Bang for the buck

    Beyond that, the gen-ed classes are much cheaper than the UW system and transfer.
    Great for these types of students

    Definitely a good pick, especially if you aren't positive about what you want to do yet.

    milwaukee area technical college is a large school, but one that has multiple campuses and keeps the classroom size small. it has a low tuition cost but makes it easy for a student to succeed. matc has given me a great start to get back into school.
    Tips for prospective students

    make sure when you choose a major to see what is required for entering your program. many programs at matc have the petition process, which a lot of information is needed before you can start taking classes in your program.
    Dorm Life

    there is no housing on campus.
    Food and Dining

    never ate much at school because i lives nearby.

    They have a wonderful faculty that are truly passionate about their fields. They also have a great curriculum, and ease of learning. Sadly, some of the students attending give the school a bad name.
    Tips for prospective students

    Attend classes regularly, do your assignments on time (don't let them start slipping), and participate in class/group work.
    Bang for the buck

    They give you just as much information as would a four-year school; except it's about half the price. Some may dismiss it, but they do a great job teaching.
    Great for these types of students

    Students a little low on cash, but would like to go to school. Also, great for starting out your college experience.
    Campus Safety

    I have never had an incident on any of the campuses I have attended (3/4 campuses).

    I attend MATC at the Mequon campus and have enjoyed it so far. The teachers are outstanding and always willing to help. The campus is small but makes for short walks from class to class.
