Delaware Technical & Community College

I prefer the Wilmington campus over the Stanton campus by a LOT. The staff is helpful and cares about seeing that students have all the opportunities to be successful. I’ve never had a problem with the financial aid office like I did when I was at the Stanton campus. The people in the Guidance Center would do just about anything for you if you reach put to them for help. Also, Wilmington campus wins if you’re looking for some grub. The café is so much better than the one in Stanton and the campus is surrounded by a bunch of great places the grab a bite.
The only real downfall of this campus is the area that its in. If you have classes around 10:30 or noon I’d suggest leaving about an hour earlier than you would normally if you want to park anywhere near the school. The parking garage and the lots behind it fill up so fast and a lot of the time I find myself having to park all the way in the overflow lot by the Blue Rocks stadium. They have a bus that shuttles students to the school but, it stinks when you’re running a little behind and you have to wait for the bus to get back to the lot. Also, it is in Wilmington so occasionally you see some sketchy looking people walking around as you walk to your car. Be careful!

I had no idea about the college enrollment process. One day, I got on the website for Delaware Tech and emailed a random person asking them the process for enrolling at Delaware Tech. Mrs. Bernat emailed me back and told me to call her. This wonderful lady explained the step by step enrollment process. Because she was so kind and eager to help me, I enrolled in fall semester of 2012. I filled out an admissions form online. I called to schedule a placement test. After the placement test, I spoke to a college advisor that helped me choose my classes.
My college advisor, Mr. Handling, is wonderful. Mr. Handling has taken the time to understand my educational needs, which has made my transition to college much easier. He has guided me in choosing the appropriate classes for my major. This summer, I decided to take summer classes. Mr. Handling advised me that summer math classes required lots of work in a short period of time. He suggested that I only take two classes this semester. I am so glad I listened to him. The college advisors at Delaware Tech truly care about the academic success of the students that seek their guidance.
My most challenging class was my math class this summer. I could not have passed my math class if it was not for my previous math teacher Marney and my current teacher Amanda. In addition, there is a wonderful group of tutors at the Math Success Center. I spent my summer at the Math Success Center being tutored by Marty, Chelsea, Rich, Kyle, Paul and Sam. I was really struggling to learn algebra, however, with the help and encouragement of all the staff members at the center I passed my class. I could not thank the math center staff enough for their dedication and determination to see me and other students do well in class. They truly do care and strive to help everyone that enters the Math Success Center. The service is free and worth taking advantage of. I am truly grateful and appreciate every person that has sat with me and encourage me at the Math Success Center.
I truly love being a student at Delaware Tech. The teachers and staff are super friendly. The College student body is very diverse. There are many non-​traditional college students such as myself. I was scared to be the oldest person in class. It is wonderful being in a class with people as young as 18 and old enough to be a grandparent. I truly love Delaware Tech!

The teachers are wonderful. I am not the easiest person to teach, but the have managed to turn me into an A student each semester. I am looking forward to graduating soon.
