Great program that helped mold me in to a better person and professional and helped me become passionate about the OT field. I had a great experience at Western Technical College and would recommend this Technical College to others Thank you for the great education! Thank you for a wonderful education Very great experience Students at the health sciences building feel disconnected from the main campus. I wish I would have done this instead of my first degree!! I loved it here. XXXXX and XXXXX have formed us all as students and supported us throughout our experience here at Western. If it weren't for them, I would not have done as well in school that I did.
