Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Find time to study and review your notes every day. Make flashcards to help you study key terms. Feel free to see your professor during his or her office hours because they are there to help you and they love seeing you succeed!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
High quality of academics and the text books are very helpful. Make sure to study a lot since this will result in high testing grades and high grades, too! It's worth it!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Pizza, salads, breakfast, yogurt, fresh fruit, you name it and MATC's cafeteria should have it! MATC's cooks provide healthy lunches, too. I enjoy eating the veggie burger! Yummm! There are also many places to eat right off of campus including Subway, Alterra Coffee Shop, Starbucks Coffee, Dunkin' Doughnuts, and one of my favorites ... Hot Flash, where you can get a warm pretzel as a snack between classes! These places are all within 3 blocks of MATC and are within about 5 to 10 minutes walking distance from the downtown campus. Go and see what tasty treats you can find!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Explore Milwaukee's Public Museum just a block and a half south of the downtown Milwaukee campus. See a show at the giant IMAX Dome theatre at the museum. Travel by car or walk along the lakefront (about 7 to 8 blocks away) and stop at a quaint coffee shop (Alterra Coffee) for a quick pick-me-up between classes! The coffee there is incredibly delicious! Yumm!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Classes are great and well worth the money that I am paying for tuition. It's affordable and having a career as a Physical Therapist Assistant will be great! I'll be able to pay off my student loan within about 1.5 to 2 years after graduation.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The lounge or study area is a great place to study. It's a semi-quiet study area, and the students are so nice. This area has two microwaves in case you need to warm up some eggs for breakfast or some soup for lunch. There are vending machines with affordable sandwiches or soups inside, available to everyone. I like studying in this space since there is optimal light entering the large area and there are comfortable chairs and tables. It's a wonderful place to eat lunch or conduct a group study session.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Any student should feel at home at Milwaukee Area Technical College. My fellow students are kind and helpful. I enjoy studying with them every day!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There's a new culinary arts section being built on the first floor of the main building just 3 floors down from where my classes are held. I can't wait to taste some of the delicious home-made lunches that the culinary arts students will make this upcoming semester! Also, MATC offers students the opportunity to participate in one of many Stormers teams, whether it's basketball, golf, or volleyball. There is also student council/student government, which anyone can participate in. Being a student at MATC requires a good balance between work and play! MATC also has one social dance each semester with a theme. Last semester's dance was the 80's. Fun times!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus is safe and I feel safe walking on campus every day. There is a no firearms policy and eveyone abides to this rule. There is a police station and a fire station within a two block radius of the downtown campus! My fellow classmates and the other students on campus are very kind and are willing to walk with you on campus. I feel safe while walking from my bus stop to campus and from campus to my bus stop. Milwaukee is a great city and I enjoy studying and learning at MATC.
