TCC....have we not had this discussion in three other treads?

Find a place where you can be the "shop bitch" and spend some time there bc you are not learning anything at ATI/UTI you cant read in books.

My cousin went to Wyotech and said he wished he hadn't. They defenitely have nice facilities with great equipment (much better than ATI), but being you'll be an out of state student. expect to pay around 20k. ATI was 15k for me and I was living at home when I went there.

Both of us agree that TCC would have been the better choice for a fraction of the price. And I do mean a significant difference in price.
