I drove around this campus the day before I had to take a test to get a lay of the land. In looking…read morearound for the building that had the number 6 on it (since they are all numbered), I was able to look around the campus. It was very nice and manicured. It's a nice sized campus for a community college as well. Lot's of parking if you get there before 8:30am. If you are there for more than 2 hours, don't park in the visitor spots that say 2 hours. People apparently are abusing those spaces. You can get a visitors pass from someone in many of their offices for the day so use a regular space in that case. I've heard they had 3 vehicle break-ins in less than 2 months of my posting this review and was informed the best monitored lot is 'G'. So, that is where I parked and it turns out to be closest to the building I needed anyway. Lucky me. I read that if people choose to go to shool here that it's hard to get classes. The key is to do everything on-line as soon as they allow. If you snooze you lose and that goes for 4 year institutions as well. So if you don't know..that's the norm. Don't even wait an hour after the lines open for registration. There will always be those who will be willing to be there before you and then remember to prioritize the classes you take the the absolute hardest ones to obtain first. You will know what I mean when you get started with trying to register each quarter. You'll figure it out. I'm not a student anymore, but I'm speaking from remembering my experience. Good luck!

I would give no stars if I could! I will just say that when I attended over 10 years ago this…read moreschool was pretty decent. Returning after becoming disabled is a whole different experience! The advisors, teachers, staff, and especially the financial aid office are so morally bankrupt, incompetent, lazy, rude, corrupt, and honestly just plain pathetic! Returning here for these last couple months has been an absolute nightmare and waste of time! I honestly plan on reporting the school to multiple agencies for discriminatory behavior among other issues! If I were you, I would choose a different school and save yourself the migraines and heartache!

This is a review of the Bates Technical College's Cafeteria Gallery Dining Room…read more The price: The cafeteria side of the restaurant is priced about average for what you would expect. The Gallery Dining Room is incredibly affordable. You can get a three course meal with a coffee for under ten bucks. The service: Culinary arts students are learning front of the house, some for the first time. This means you must be patient with them, they are learning. This also means they will be extra attentive so you will spend at least an hour here. If you're in a hurry, you should order to go or order from the cafeteria side of the restaurant. The food: The food is prepared by the culinary arts students. Sometimes it will blow your mind, other times it will be just okay. Be patient, they are learning and the cool part is you get to be part of the process. You will get your monies worth, no matter what. But I'm vegetarian: There isn't always a vegetarian item on the menu, but the students are always happy to accommodate your needs. Just let them know what you can and can't eat, but be clear. Not everyone knows that chicken stock or geletin isn't vegetarian, they are just learning, so ask specific questions and be patient.

My Logger is thriving in every way. The cost is our only concern but I'd encourage families to apply for UPS scholarships and work study in addition to the usual FAFSA loans. There are opportunities for study abroad, intramurals and many clubs. The fitness center with swimming pool is remarkable. My kid is really happy here.

Materials are not organized, the course syllabus is general. I've yet to find direction online. There are literally so many platforms to log into for assignments, there is no ideal order to follow for assignments.

If you are neurodivergent, Please do not come here. There are a FEW people in this institution who…read moreare there to help you and are great humans- there are even more people who will punish you for your accommodations. For example- your teacher may say something like "you can't sit there, that's for the girl with autism". Which tells the whole room that a student has autism- hipaa violation? Or they may accuse you of lying about your needs at all. I've seen and heard of this and much more. The school positions itself to be a resource for the community, but in reality, from the top down (board of directors, president and higher admin), they have an agenda that seems to be taking advantage of people in poverty - mentally and financially- while somehow getting bonuses for themselves. Please do not go here and stop any child you know from being sent here. Find a different alternative school- coming here is not an option unless you're the type of person who can teach yourself with no assistance or guidance from anyone. Why is the graduation rate 2%?
