Honestly, I have had issues with this school. I went to a teacher for help and they told me “that sucks.” Another flat out asked me if I was pregnant and said I might as well quit the program. One failed me because I didn’t hand write my notes. There was only one teacher that I felt I connected with and she made all the difference.

It’s a very open and inviting school. There’s always help and advice when needed. There are many groups and clubs to keep you busy. Both the faculty and other students are friendly and helpful. There’s always some sort of fun activity to do outside of classes.

Overall it is a great school to start at with finding pretty much any kind of trade that is out there. The amount of resources the college offers is wonderful, as long as a future or current student takes advantage of what they offer. The staff's ability to help a student with questions is good and willingness to see the student succeed is there as well.

I have enrolled at Chippewa Valley Technical College in the HVAC program. I have always been a person who likes the hands on work. I have not officially started classes yet. We do that in August. I have attended two open houses, Orientation and class sign up and I find the staff to be very honest. They provided information that was very informative. Provided good information on Financial Aid, Campus Security, Student Activites, job opportunities and went through with us how to set up student emails, how to review financial aid awards, review account information and all other aspects of our accounts. If there were problems with logins they were very good about making sure that we were able to have all issues cleared up before leaving. They also did activities with all the students to help us all introduce ourselves and involved current students in those activities. I believe I am going to really like this school. Friendly students and staff. And they advised that their office doors are always open.

I haven't been at CVTC long being a freshman but my over all experience is great! Starting college, I was a bit nervous but classes were easily accessible and staff were very helpful! I love my classes, a mixture of online and in class work makes it easy to hold a job. The classes are not too long and the professors are very friendly and there to help!

Love it! There are many programs that you can take. The college is also near some food places that you can go to when you are on your break. It is not that far from the college as well. The instructors are always available when you need to ask them a question about the assignments.

Chippewa Valley Technical College is a great beginner school for out of high school students or returner school for students. I am a non traditional student that went to a University first and graduated with a degree that landed me $80,000 in debt. Therefore going back to school to enhance my degree was a scary thought. Luckily CVTC is much cheaper option with extremely good professors, reputation, and overall wonderful academic services. I can't imagine learning anywhere else. They do an amazing job of giving you the tools to be hands on and job ready!

I love this school! Because it's a technical college (not a university), the instructors have worked in the field prior to becoming teachers. My instructors are always available and class sizes are small. For not having on-campus housing, CVTC makes a huge effort to involve its students. There are lots of opportunities for students and the CVTC community is accepting of people from all walks of life.

Although I just started at CVTC, I can tell I choose the right school to attend. The teacher I currently have is the nicest teacher I have ever had. She makes sure to talk to all the students asking them everything from if they need help to how there grandpa is doing after his surgery. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and are always there when I need help. I enjoy coming to school here and look forward to finishing my degree.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
If i could go back in time and talk to myself, I would want to be the first person to help prepare myself for the stress to come. As far back as middle school, there were people telling me to be ready and think of what's ahead. I would have been better prepared if i knew what i was getting myself into. I recall being easily distracted and relying on my friends for support, but the future was so clouded with mystery at the time. If i were to talk to my past self, i would have told myself to get all the college forms and payments ready early, and not to fear the future to come. If i had atleast i step in the door, i would be ready to overcome the rest of the journey with confidence and less fear.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
I would say the the value of price vs. educational knowledge is as good as any four year collage. I also have know quite a few graduates. All seem to be doing well and are happy with their education. All in All best Value.
All kinds of person should addend this school for several reasons, i'll just sum it up: This school has so much diversity there is truly a little bit for all, If you are a person this is the school.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
The teachers in my program all come from the same background that they are teaching about. They are able to paint a picture of how the applications we study will apply to the real world. It's also great that our classes are small and hands on. If a student needs help on an assignment, the teacher can walk over within minutes to assist them. I was also able to find an internship due to a job seeking service the school offers students.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The most frustrating thing is the fact that it's a tech college. I sometimes feel that in order to make the money and get the career that I want, I need to to get a bacholors degree, which I am pretty sure I don't want. At this time, it's too early to know how the degree will assist me, but if I had to pick something, this is it.
