Delta College - Main Campus 1961 Delta Road, University Center, MI 48710

"Advising and counseling department is a joke, zero help, and put in incorrect classes wasting money. If you can afford it, go anywhere else"

"All in all, it's a very "if you have to" option for a college. Most of the instructors are very helpful and available, and the courses themselves are pretty decent at roughly the same rate. The few exceptions are good examples of "if you're going to fail, make them question how you did it." Most of my time at Delta was pleasant. On the positive majority, instructors are typically very accommodating and mildly challenging. They want their students to do more than know the material, and they take the time to help things along on an individual level. There are some online assignment platforms that completely fail in their purpose (correct answers are often marked wrong by the automated system), but the instructors will come around and fix everything. Some instructors operate very poorly at even basic levels. For instance, a video editing course instructor struggling for two hours to explain to a class "if your audio goes into the red, it's too loud," and I don't mean in-depth explaining. It's a sore waste of time, and it is not a step above the general computers course I took in middle school. Perhaps the most unprofessional thing I've seen at Delta is an instructor for "minorities in the media," who will drop students from her online, no-sessions course for not checking the material on the day the course starts, claiming people who do so fall "weeks behind." That in two days of not having assignments beyond introducing oneself. I'd vie for the betterment of minorities all day long, but putting an angry child in charge of that subject doesn't support the cause. It's also a huge shame that they're changing the mascot to some clipart duck. I'd rather graduate a third-generation pioneer than a first-generation meal. ___ Regarding accommodations outside of courses, there's beyond what a student might need. The library has a ton of sources online and offline, there are physical training resources out the wazoo, yadah yadah. On-campus food? Ehhhh.. The cafe upstairs just microwaves $1 food items and charges $4-7 or so. The Red Brix cafeteria downstairs has a daily variety of low, maybe mid-quality general foods and some mid-quality specialties - usually two a week, roughly speaking. The folks in the kitchen do what they can with the poorer quality ingredients they get. Campus events are fine. Nothing great, nothing dull. The actual work and lounge spaces are fairly par, too, aside from the radio in the downstairs lounge/cafeteria area, which will intermittently switch between 60s-90s classics and some tasteless 2017-and-beyond garbage. ___ All in all, I did enjoy Delta, but it has some dishearteningly low standards in more areas than it should."

"I have tried to contact my advisor 3 times now to help me set up class and no response from him since may. This is ridiculous. Also, I had to buy an “access code” for an online class that was $50 the guy at the bookstore told me i needed it... I never needed it in the first place. Complete waste of $50 down the drain. And when I tried to return it they turned me down bc it was “too late” even though that was a late starting class so how on earth was I supposed to return it before the class even started??Thanks for the help Delta!"

"Very helpful staff. Great variety of classes to take. Lots of resources to help students out with whatever they need from finding a job to tutoring for classes."

"We use the Amazing Newly updated fitness center. Clean and Well maintained. Very Affordable."
