I really felt at home at the tech.
It just seemed so much of a fit for my personality and all the people around me.
My biggest class is 25 kids, not a 300 person lecture.
So they know who I am, I'm not just a face
or a number, I'm a person to them.
They're showing you how to work in the real world.
They push me to be the best person I could be.
I believe that they facilitate your education and they ....
really give you the opportunity to be yourself ... and really grow.
That's the biggest thing I think, is being so close to your teachers.
It'll be kind of an easy transition for you,
where you're able to really gain the experience that you want in your field.
Tuition is so much more affordable going to
a technical college than a four-year university right away.
Your debt isn't going to be quite as high.
And then ... if you decide to go to a university ... your credits will transfer.
It gives me the exposure I need to ...
improve my skills and then just challenge myself.
No matter what, you're not going to feel so out of place.
It is a friendly environment.
Instructors are all very interested in the success of the students.
You are able to have a one-on-one communication
with anybody around you instead of having
a one-on-one hundred communication.
There's so much support there,
within the college system -technical college system-
that, if you're having trouble anywhere,
there's really resources to help you.
The faculty there were very helpful, very open,
and they actually taught me how to teach myself ...
so that when I'm not actually at school I can
keep learning and doing all the things I need to.
And it's something that you can take at your own pace
You can design your college experience around your current lifestyle.
You get real hands-on experience.
You're actually doing ... what you're going to be doing in the real world.
There's a lot of people at the technical college,
that know what they want to do.
They're not there to mess around.
I think you're able to stretch and grow, and ...
learn more about yourself in a more focused setting.
This is what the atmosphere I wanted to be in,
and that's pretty much the reason that I chose it.
I feel like they really help you excel.
in really who you want to be ... and who you can be.
