Dedication of my professors

This school is such a great place for learning! I'm a fan of MPTC. Moraine Park is situated in a favorable location. The Advisors are extremely supportive and eager to assist you in finding precisely what you require. They are excellent, and the food is outstanding. All the teachers and staff are exceedingly amiable, and you can approach anyone for guidance in the right direction. They are very accommodating regardless of your needs, whether in the classroom or student services. They consistently strive to provide the optimal experience.

Incompetence

The finance office is extremely incompetent in doing their job. They didn't file appropriate paperwork for tuition reimbursement in time and came after me 2 years after I graduated for the unpaid balance. I took the complaint to the dean of students which resulted in the school turning the bill over to collections. BEWARE of this school or you will get screwed just like me. STAY AWAY
