Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
South Hampton Institute Of Tech • Hampton, CT
Studying HVAC Training (completion in 2004)
• 11/6/2011
"South Hampton Tech left a bitter taste in my mouth. Combining the lack of organization, knowledge learned, and staff, I don't plan on coming back to South Hampton Tech."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | no | I would not at all. The campus is terrible and the staff is not knowledgeable. To a student fresh from high school, I recommend going elsewhere for a degree. |
| Program Reputation | 4 | As I said before the staff was poor and unprepared. The course didn't provide too much rigor. |
| Program Quality | 7 | South Hampton is an okay school that doesn't provide any benefits. On the bright side, the classes were small and I graduated with a bachelor's in 1 year. |
| Instruction | 4 | Unfortunately the instructors weren't the best. Most of my knowledge came from my employer's training program. |
| How Difficult | 5 | The course had little substance to it, and not too many hurdles. Like I said, I graduated in just 1 year. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Almost all of our education was through lectures and real hands-on work. During most of the class period we would be repairing a real A/C unit and system. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 4 | All the courses would have no flexibility. Students did not have a choice of day / night classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 6 | The campus itself was lacking material and equipment, and had a small library. However, our class would take 'field trips' to practice on real A/C units. |
| Social Life | 4 | I particularly didn't like anything about the atmosphere or school spirit. The undergrads would have a graduation party at the end of the semesters. |
| Placement Services | 7 | It had little organization, but plenty of contacts. Right after graduation I got an entry-level job with a HVAC repair company. |
| Alumni Network | 3 | The instructors had poor education and no motivation. The administration did their best to keep tabs on the staff. |
