Currently trying to finalize my financial aid already have called a million times, getting emails with no information of if I can start by the 18th, already have a bill showing, and still no help from financial aid. Systems have been updated with this new AI mess and I despise it. It is absolutely no help. No one answers phones no matter what number you dial. Buttons don't work on site to see information to contact financial aid where it lets you know there's needed documents. There's no where to upload documents. I am just frustrated and do not need this stress already and I haven't even started yet. Its already discouraging me to say the least. I went in person and the admissions department were on point, but when I was sent to the financial aid department, one lady was about to tell me she couldn't look me up, when another lady told her check because the system was back up, but then they still couldn't give me any information due to some messed up system update that prevents FASFA from being able to communicate efficiently with their new program running. Understaffed perhaps? I don't know, but going into the field of WEB TECH with a school who cant even get their websites working right is not encouraging to say the least.

Good community college i have taken many classes there and I have had mainly good experiences.

Always a joy to share the beginning of Mental Health month with the staff @ForsythTechnicalCommunityCollege This year’s presentation focused on More Rest, Less Stress and looked at ways to reduce stress in life including asking for help, not taking on other’s burdens and many other helpful tips. The campus is beautiful and boasts a walking trail for relaxation. Check them out

The most unprofessional organization in Winston-Salem. I was supposed to be starting the Horticulture program this fall, it was listed as an evening program on Forsyth techs website which I applied for. I sign up for first advising, after 2.5 hours of my time wasted I find out the program was wrongly listed as evening, as one of the classes I need is only offered in the day time without any other options. I work 40 hours a week from 8-4:30pm so I am very disappointed, and never would have wasted my time if the information on the website was correct. My first experience with Forsyth tech was not much better, as my advisor did not advise me well enough as a young student, and waited until I was supposed to graduate to tell me I was lacking 3 classes, but that I could still walk in the spring if I finished out my classes in the summer, which was not enough to make me a full time student which caused me to not be able to use but a fraction of my financial aid for the remaining classes. I recommend traveling further to another community college, but if you decide to waste your time and money with Forsyth tech then double and triple check everything because they are not looking out for you.

Forsyth Tech is a wonderful Community College. This year is my third semester here and I love it. The instructors are very helpful and they love their job. When I graduated from high school Forsyth Tech was the very last college I had thought about attending. Now that I am here, the only thing I regret is not coming here straight out of high school. The instructors wants their students to succeed inside and outside of the classroom, and suffice to say they will do all they can to make sure you succeed. The networking here is amazing, I am a work-study student and the people are so kind and genuine. If someone would have told me the amazing experience I am experiencing before I came, I would have came. It saves a lot of money, for the student and their parents. I encourage any and everyone who is deciding, or those that are undecided to give Forsyth Tech a chance, and they will adhere all of your needs in being successful.
