Student reviews

Professors

Current Student

I haven't had the on-campus experience that you normally think about when thinking of college so all I have to say is from what I've experienced with my online classes and resources. Everything is easily accessible and available.

Current Student

Most of the professors were very professional and helpful, but a few were extremely rude and should not have been able to teach.

Campus and vibes

Current Student

I have enjoyed my first year at Trident so far! Online class has been so convenient. The only down side is that I do not feel as motivated to do my work at home versus actually being in a classroom.

Current Student

The school and professors are not bad at all, what are horrible are the advisors. It is very difficult to get any sort of assistance.

Cost and value

Alumni

The professors made the online college experience worth the effort, time, and money. Being able to take classes online was a tremendous help with my hectic schedule as a single working mother of two.
