Guilford Technical Community College

Experiencia negativa: I’m extremely disappointed with the advising at this community college. Students who have clearly demonstrated the ability to pass math or have already taken it in high school are being encouraged to retake basic math courses. Advisors mislead students by stating that these basic math credits will count toward their degree program, but this is not the case. Students still have to take higher-level math courses as part of their degree requirements, making the basic math classes a waste of time and money. This practice feels like a way to boost enrollment numbers rather than genuinely supporting students’ academic progress. This issue is particularly concerning for individuals who may not be as academically confident and are more susceptible to this kind of manipulative misrepresentation. I have spoken with several students who shared that their advisors explicitly told them these basic math credits would apply toward their degrees, only to find out later that they still needed to take more advanced math classes. These students are clearly being taken advantage of, and someone higher up in the administration needs to address this unethical practice. It’s unacceptable to mislead students, especially those who may already struggle with navigating the complexities of higher education.

Experiencia negativa: I signed up for my spring classes only for them to drop two of my needed classes and after me spending hours of trying to get it back they tell me I didn’t do the prerequisites that I did do already and they do this the day they go on break so that I couldn’t contact anyone to fix the issue

Experiencia fantástica: Teeth have never felt so clean. Dental training is excellent.
