Their financial aid office has given me a headache! I made a mistake on my fasfa so I went to the office and fixed it. Did all the paper work but NOW their saying my earlier mistake is STILL in their computer. Their basically telling me to do the paper work over again. But before, I had the classes I wanted but heard nothing about my fafsa. So I didn't attend my classes. When I was applying for the Fall 2nd term, I learned I could had still gone to my classes. I was pissed! They didn't tell me I could had still gone to my classes without knowing if I had my fafsa or not. My cousin who went there, told me YOU have to do everything. Because their just not gonna tell you. So I had to get 3 classes that I didn't even want. I went to WCC before I moved and NEVER had this much problems. I really dislike this school all together and is transferring as soon as possible. I can't take another semester of the BS. If you plan on going to WTCC, be prepare. They don't care. And now I don't care.

I am currently finishing up the prerequisites for my nursing degree at Wake Tech, from which I hope to transfer this Spring. I am not biased one way or the other; not bitter or in love with the school either way. I will just give you a point blank review about my experience with this college.


The nursing school is very, very competitive. Usually people don't get in until their second attempt at getting into the college. That just means someone has to take a semester off or have their classes planned out so the extra semester is used. Just be ready for that if an associates in nursing from WTCC is what you want. Also, the staff at the health sciences campus bothered me a bit. Because the nursing school is so competitive, the staff of the health sciences campus do not try as hard to help you, honestly. In the nursing program, it is EXTREMELY hard! But it just depends if that is what you really want to do. You'll have to work REALLY hard for it.

Disregarding the nursing department, though, I really like the general classes and main campus. The reason why I chose WTCC is why I still like it (besides the price). The professors of WTCC are almost all very interested in what they teach, very approachable, very respectful, and want the students to do well. The ILC tutors are a real help for those who study hard! The staff seems to go out of their way to be professional and helpful. (Keep in mind that every place has its exceptions. I did have a few teachers that hurt my grade. I just learned to use "rate my professor" for all my classes! lol) Overall, I felt like my goals were respected here.

So, in all, WTCC is made for students who have goals, whether it's getting your GED, taking transfer classes, or a working parent trying to get an associates degree for a low cost while living at home.The campus does not really have a social life. There are clubs and fun events here and there, and the social aspect of the college is getting bigger and more diverse. However, WTCC is not a place where people stay. It is a fast track toward a degree or a place to get transfer courses. If you go here, don't leave your out-of-college social life. :) Just so you know.

They haven't processes my loan and grant money so I'm flat broke going into the 3rd week of classes. The financial aid department is a joke. No one will help you and they will hold your disbursement check until the end of September just to make the interest off of your account. Shitty school with shitty people who don't give a shit about you or the feact you aren't eating right and maybe don't have rent money for a few months.
