Madison Area Technical College

"Like most other community colleges, MATC has affordable classes for individuals who couldn't attend university, whether it be due to grades, money, etc. If you can handle the loud sound of jets every once in a while next door, as well as seemingly endless construction, then you will do great here! Some of the teachers are quite eccentric but I wouldn't necessarily call that a bad thing."

"My campus experience was great. The liberal bias is incredibly strong here, thus the 4 stars, but the professors are wonderful and the facility is fantastic. It's affordable, and I felt as though my education was both thorough and comprehensive."

"The good profs here are all just professors moonlighting from UW Madison, I'd honestly say you should apply to and go to literally any other UW system school before here. The quality of education isn't bad- but they somehow managed to misplace finances and put 650 bucks into collections randomly - without mailing me any notifications, and without a notifications on the online portal. You won't get competency from any of the administrative staff, expect 5 week long waits to see a counselor for any sort of urgent need. If you are a student with a disability - make sure you have additional copies of any medical documentation, they will claim to lose it. Most of the education staff despises the administrative staff and yeah, I can see why."

"Great place to learn. Great place to work. Over 180 degrees to get you career ready or transfer to a 4-yr institution. Occupational training in health, technology, transportation, engineering, manufacturing, and maintenance. Learn hands-on with access to the latest industry equipment and software. Options for industry certifications. All classes are open to the public and can be taken in a PT or FT schedule. Program students do have priority registration option."

"Very nice tech college. Almost everyone you come across on campus can point you in the right direction. I just started school today online. But tomorrow I get to go to campus. It's a clean sanitary environment. There is currently some remodeling going on, so part of the building you cannot access... yet! AC was on, felt awesome. temperature didn't change much room to room either. All the employees seem to know their job very well and are willing to help. I chose Madison Area Technical College because I know many people that have graduated and successfully got into a job they wanted. This school is also smaller than UW Madison so I feel like the learning experience is better, more hands on, more participation versus a large school such as UW Madison."
