Overall, I am very happy to have attended this school. The opportunities and connections it allowed me to make truly helped me to grow as a person. Highly recommend to any student looking to transfer.

I would rate my personal experience an above-average time. The staff here is very welcoming and helpful to every student. At Portage Central, every voice gets heard, and every idea brought to someone is considered. Being a student here I have been given opportunity that I feel other schools don't have.
