I have been at Trident since August of 2010 and so far I have nothing bad to say about the teacher and academic advisers who I have had or come into contact with. I have a full 15-hr schedule this semester and although my classes are all quite different and unique, I am learning many new things in them. One of my favorite classes is Western Civ post-1689; which may not sound important but it is because I usually resent history classes about western civilizations. This one however, I quite enjoy.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I have met dozens of new people (students and teachers alike) and have not had a single bad experience with anyone. I find that the environment at Trident is much different than I had anticipated, but only in the best way possible. Getting to and from class is easy and the attendance policy is flexible to my work and personal schedules with I appreciate.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I received the LIFE Scholarship this year so I'm literally not paying anything for school. Even if I had to, it wouldn't be a problem because the tuition is extremely low in comparison to some other colleges and from my experience, it's low-priced attendance is not a reflection on its academic ability.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If wishing to transfer to a 4 year college, be sure to take classes that a transferable. The advisers are extremely helpful in this situation.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Anyone from recently graduated high school students to grandparents who need something to occupy their time!
