Texas State Technical College Waco

This review is only for the dental assisting program
They over promised, under delivered and BARELY gave us any hands on experience which is most of the job. Now I’m stuck with a huge bill while going back to the serving job I had before which is obviously frustrating.
I have friends that went to other dental assisting programs that were cheaper, quicker, and got way more hands on experience resulting in a dental assistant job! I would recommend finding one of those places!

Veterans services and the admissions department do not seem very interested in bringing new students to class. I applied online on the 13^th of August with the majority of paperwork ready in hand. Over the past two weeks I have sent in everything possible online and left numerous voicemail with staff there to assist me with processing my paperwork and getting registered from class. I have received absolutely nothing from the school other than a email they had set up for me, but even there the password was not sent and I had to call in to get that when it should have been sent via email. I have repeatedly called up there to speak with someone and finally my call was answered today. They told me there was nothing they could do for me as registration closed on the 24^th, they did register some with late fee, which I would have been more than willing to pay, but it was just too late for that. Well it wouldn’t be so late if the staff there had done their job properly, sent out proper paperwork, and reached back out to me when I did them. I thought extremely highly of this school and was very much looking forward to attending. I honestly can’t say that I will anymore, even though I have been set on this school for years. Thanks TSTC.

I wish the school had been a little better. I was a nerd and fit right in
I Lived on campus in Lavaca hall and it wasn’t to bad. However my fiancé lived in village oaks and some pretty shady stuff went on. They tried charging him for $ 200 in paint repairs even though they were on the Unit Condition Report. That is the same amount it costs for them to replace the door. After much arguing they finally gave him the money.
Also he was only suppose to live in his apartment for one semester and then we would move to family housing. He comes to find out that they had put him on a full lease and of he was to break contract he would not be aloud to attend classes the next semester.
Both my fiancé and I were in computer feilds. High performance computing was not HPC so he was getting the wrong title for his degree, and we were 3 years behind /​/​told to use by a perfessor \\
Previously I had been in culinary arts at TSTC and nothing was organized and 1 teacher was teaching 5 classes because they were understaffed.
The book store is very small. And there is no restaurants on campus except the school café which closes on the weekends, along with the book store and nurses office.
the one thing I did enjoy was how clean they kept the classes. Also from what I understand the other programs are excellent at tstc. The school has potential to be great but right now it’s just not.

I and my family live on campus it nice…
This college is a great place to attend to get a degree I love how friendly the staff is also…

Just starting here. Going for an Avionics degree.

Good school, has a great placement rate. You’re almost sure to be making a lot of money right out of school.
