I love Chatt. Tech. Everyone is super friendly. I can buy my books right there at school or anything else I need at the moment. Very convenient. Tuition is not extremely expensive.

The last post was so right - I've stayed up all night trying to get into classes I need, only the system can't handle the traffic EVER. Called the other day, and they told me to turn off my pop-up blocker, but that doesn't help. This is my first quarter, and already I'm frustrated with the school.

Chattahoochee Technical Colleges web site S U X !!! S U X !!!! S U X !!!!
You can not register for classes on their website, I wonder how ANYONE can register for classes on that stupid site. It just says loading, loading, loading, loading, loading...............................Get the picture? They have no tech support number to call (funny because they are a "Technical College"), and the site does not have any clear navigation methods for how to register and add classes. Not that it matters, because once you click "add" the web site crashes and wont let you log back in. Chat. Tech You SUCK!!
