What I like about Columbus Technical College is that it has many opportunities when it comes to choosing your major, and overall that it's a great experience to know and learn about college. What I would like to see changed is them allowing community service, and letting students who want to help provide in the community to make a great system and benefit.

I have had a very pleasant experience at Columbus Technical College thus far, however, I am still in my first semester that the college. I previously attended West Georgia Technical College. I got married at the beginning of this year and moved to two hours south of what I call home. They made the transition very seamless. I would recommend Columbus Technical College to anyone that is looking to get an affordable education.

Easy going but can be a little more helpful in the finance department to further students future especially when they are accepted in competitive programs. Financial assistance may be the only department that may not have the best reputation overall at the college.
