It’s okay. The professors are amazing. There’s not many food options on this campus. The thing I’m not happy about is that it can take a student longer than 2 years to transfer. I’m going for an associates degree because once you transfer to an in state or out of state, the credits will transfer. Students will be able to work in the backbone in their major instead of the grunt work courses (GEN ED.) Students looking to go to the Wake Tech should get a tour first before deciding to come here. This is a really great community college! Study for the placement exam or else you will be placed in classes that you don’t need to take. It happened to me! The social life is okay, there is minimal clubs.. If Wake tech had a faster option available, to complete all courses to transfer, I would give it 5 stars!

I don't know how there are so many bad reviews. This school is pretty good! It goes above and beyond to help students academically by providing tutors for free. They make sure what they teach is on level with NCSU so are getting a quality education. There are always people there to edit your papers if you need it. The teachers are simply awesome! They will not only lecture with passion, they try and make sure you understand. I've never had teachers who care so much. They are also very kind and interesting people.
Now for ***THE BAD PART***
Its true, financial aid was a mess; I missed a semester because they never got my financial aid ready. And beware, advisors really push getting an associates on transfers but DO NOT fall for it! At north campus there are not many food options. There are not nearly enough clubs. Many students seem to wonder alone. There isn't much to do but go to classes here so it's a pretty boring time, but that's okay because academics are most important!response / report this review -

This has been the most discouraging processes I've ever experienced trying to get into school. I have been on a merry-go-round with Wake Tech since July and it's the end of November! Unbelievable!

So far, teachers are amazing. They are 5/5.
What I don't like is Wake Tech's academic advisors. I'm here as a transfer student and all the advisors care about is making me get an associate's degree which costs me more money and time. Why would I get an associate's degree when I can transfer out and start bachelor's degree?!response / report this review -

Not such a great experience so far! I you feel like wasting your time and money you will get both here! No point in actually going to school when everyone focuses on the online aspect so much right? Why even pay? Just google it. So i've been told by my own "professors". A robot could do their job.

THE WORST PLACE EVER! I was told for Ms. Zanita Evans (Admissions) that my tuition rate it was going to be as an in state student, I gave the campus all my private and legal documentation. I took my test (5 hours), my orientation (1 hour), my blackboard (3-4 hours), I spoke with my advisor, EVERYTHING. And for my surprise when I was about to register my classes and make the online payment, my tuition rate was still as an out of state student. I came to the campus more that 5 times even took off from work to be here and get that changed. NOBODY gave me an answer, they just apologized because I was told the wrong information. This people don't care about your time, don't care about the money you spend, about anything.

Your best bet, leave NC for College. Though the school is cheap, it's absolutely unorganized and sloppy. I've been taking an online course because I am unable to take the time to go in person. First issue I encountered was trying to sign up for a class.
Continuing education people are the last to be allowed to sign up for classes, most are already full by the time you can sign up. Making it so only students who are completely enrolled in the school for one of their degree programs can sign up for anything they want. There is no price difference, but they still segregate.
The Registration office will wait till after the payment deadline to contact you if you want to drop a class. I emailed the office a week before the deadline, and did not receive an email back till exactly 1 day after the deadline so they wouldn't lose my money.
Taking an online course you would think that it meant "Online", but that is not the case. If you are needing assistance from an online teacher, don't expect that luxury that you've paid for. Some teachers, specifically coding teachers, will tell you that they will only assist you in person with limited time to offer you. I have had to miss work, just to get assistance from a teacher that would only offer a short time to give assistance in person. No remote assistance is offered, so unless you can go in person, don't sign up for online classes.
Online classes don't give easy access to work with your fellow students, plus they are horribly setup. You will look to see your timetable for assignments from the Syllabus, but it's not updated for your semester and you will not know what is due till the teacher decides to post and let you know.
UPDATE: I ended up dropping my class later in the semester, I got a 75% refund because when I was told the date of the deadline for dropping out, I was not told the truth. I took an online coding class, and the professor was no help at all.response / report this review -

horrible 0 stars if possible. Don't expect to complete a 2 year degree in 2 years(in reality it takes 3-4).Advising sucks! They are more focused on getting money and enrollment up. GOOD LUCK TRANSFERRING they want to keep you as long as they can. also they tried to get me to sign up for a different program(don't do it,numbers are low right now which is how they get students). also rude staff. they are so uptight, its a community college not university(don't think they realize that).

Certainly there's an allegory written in some language that can properly describe the degree of incompetence displayed by this institution; but that language does not exist on this planet.
There's an adage that certainly applies, however. Fool me once, same on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Twice, the school's new "self-service" system removed me from my classes. I was ensured time and time again that I had taken all of the steps needed to be ready for classes to begin.
Twice, those classes I had been removed from became filled within minutes. Twice I was told how unfortunate it was for me that I could no longer be in the classes that I needed to be in for my work schedule outside of school.
You want me to pay 500% what the typical student pays per semester, while you thumb your nose at me?
Not on your life.response / report this review -

Most of the bad reviews here seem to involve attempts to contact people by phone. I'll be graduating this spring and I've never called anyone in administration or any of my instructors. Email people! Everyone I've dealt with has stressed that if you have a problem or need assistance email them. I've taken both seated and online classes without any problems of consequence.Stay on top of your schedule and above all else register early! Have your funding options in order well in advance of registration time. Most of the problems people point out here seem to be self initiated. Everyone has been quite helpful. One final note concerning parking. Get there early if you have morning classes(well before 8) and you'll not have any problems. Trust me on this one it's a lot less stressful. The library opens at 7:30am so just chill there and get some homework done. Everyone on the main campus has treated me with the same respect that I afford to them.
