This school is good for learning trades and working with your hands, but the academics are lacking. I got lucky and had great instructors, but overall your experience is what you make of it. There is also very little diversity and no music department.

Oliver Wolcott was a smaller school but it made the school feel more like a home. I had a great experience with the teachers and the academics.

I really liked that I got to experience all twelve of the shops as a freshman before having to choose a permanent one.
