Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Nursing  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Price is the bottom line for this school. If it wasn't the cheapest around they would be shut down. Beware of the RN program. It is very disorganized and many of the staff are not helpful and condescending. Some seem to want you to fail and treat you like children. During the second semester, attendance is VERY strict. You can only miss one or two days period for the whole semester or be dropped from the program. If you are going to make it through this program, you need to be strong willed. The academics is not a problem if you are reasonably intelligent, but you have to have confidence and stick up for yourself a lot. They are not going to hold your hand through the program at all. So, if you are going to go here you better go into it wanting it really bad and don't let them bully you. Also, beware of the other departments, because you are not going to get much help from fin. aide, business office, etc., and they are quite rude to be honest, almost all the staff. My teachers for prereqs were all awesome, but most of the others wouldn't give you the time of day. Finally, beware of parking. If you go during popular times there won't be ANY spaces and you will be late to class unless you allow for this, and let me tell you nobody inside cares about it and teachers don't let you use it as an excuse. If you still decide to go to Tri-C, good luck!!! Surrounding City: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

Yeah, there is a reason why it is called Tri-High, because it is like high school, but then again what do you expect from a junior college? The faculty is EXCELLENT, there are NO t/a's and for example, my music business teacher is ACTUALLY in the music business, so that's pretty cool. If you test into Honors College, take a few honors courses...the professors are great and the classes are small. Administration is horrible but that is any school that has 20,000+ students...I am part time and the only downsides to going to this school are living at home with my parents and the lack of student participation in extracurriculars because everyone has a life outside of Tri-C. However, I went to another school before Tri-C and dropped out, but I love Tri-C. I will miss it when I transfer in the fall. All in all, I would have went to Tri-C in the first place instead of going to the first school because it is a GREAT school to start off at and a good way to save money.

I went to tri-c for years as a part time and full time student. It's important to stay focus in school so you do well all the time. It's easy to get distract at college, if you want to hang out with cool people. This is the wrong answer. This is a junior college, not a high school. This school is very helpful in seeing you succeed,however, you must be a serious candiate. If people perceive you as a lazy student, they will not help you suceed. If you can go to school without working, then you will graduate faster with less stress. Try to have a support network with family and friends before you go to college or an university. What is wrong with the school? The school needs increase parking, more counselors, better managament skills, more events, and more food options on the menu for the caferteira.

First and foremost, if you plan to attend Tri-C you have to keep in mind that this *IS* a community college so it is only fair to compare it to other community colleges I have attended, not four year universities. That being said, this was a great experience compared to the other junior colleges. Most attending here seemed to have an upbeat "I'm saving money before attending my 4 year" attitude as opposed to the depressed and defeated "this is my last chance" attitude that I found at most community colleges. Post associates, I was also pleasantly surprised that the majority of my credits transferred quite smoothly to great area schools such as Baldwin Wallace, Kent State, and University of Akron (only needed 51 credit hours to complete BA in business administration at BW). This was a welcomed relief because I had previously heard nightmare stories from other people on how the majority of their community credits WOULD NOT transfer anywhere else. Three negatives to be aware of: 1. For reasons that will become obvious to anyone after a few weeks, this place developed the nickname "Tri-High", mainly because it still has that high school feel to it. Cliques still exist here, so expect to see the Abercrombie clones, snobettes, rich kids, and former high school cool kids still living in their past glory. 2. Though the health profession programs are great and some are one of a kind in terms of community colleges, they are so renowned that most are developing a considerable waiting list(it's taking some people 3 1/2 years to get their associates degree. This is also due in large part to area schools such as Kent and Akron taking a lot of clinical spots in the Cleveland area...It would be nice if they could find their own. 3. The admission process was TERRIBLE. I felt like I was running from point A to point D, to point B and back to point A, only to revisit point D all over again because someone failed to tell me that I had missed a step. I recommend that a new student first visit the "customer service desk in the galleria and ask them everything you will need to do first. Also, don't expect an appointment with a counselor unless you are ready to wait a good 2-3 weeks!!!! All in all, good community college!
