Triton College Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Triton College
- Reviewed on: April 28, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- The student body here is below the standard of four year universities. I felt like my classes were too easy, and the students who enjoy it more might be the ones who are here to get hands-on vocational certificates. Would have liked more involvement on campus - that active kind of atmosphere was lacking.
