I
majored in Multimedia and Advertising Design at Del Tech.
I enrolled in 02, and only one person from my
high school was in the same program as me, so
I didn't know a whole lot of people going in.
For a community college, the VisCom programs are excellent.
I really learned a lot. The teachers are very
smart and design oriented people.
Most of the students are
very nice. I made friends throughout my time there
and now have a great best friend. Most of
the students are there to learn and appreciate what they
are doing, but of course there are a few people
that just scrape by. When it comes down to
it, Del Tech IS a community college. The VisCom
programs are just now starting to crack down on people
and increasing the work load to weed out the slackers.
Dont expect the best and the brightest artists to
come out of this program, but about 2-3 people that
graduate a year are really headed somewhere. You can
really make the experience worthwhile if you work hard and
be proactive.
The administration is amazing here, compared to other
schools. I have never once had anything mess up.
The facult works with you by semester to make
sure you have the right classes and that you will
graduate on time. There wasn't one class here that
was super hard, but there are a few, such as
the English Comp class, that are going to take some
work. I never had a problem with the Business
or Registrar offices.
There is a small cafeteria with a
small selection of food and vending machines. It's not
open late, and its only in the Terry building, so
if you're in the ETB building, you're out of luck.
But its not too expensive and is pretty good!
Overall I had a fantastic experience at Del Tech.
Right now I have a job working in my field
making $25k a year, which isn't the most money ever,
but I plan on continuing my education at an art
school and getting a high paying job isn't my main
focus at this point.
For $1k a semester Del Tech
is amazing and I recommend it to anyone!
