Trenholm programs are very reasonable, trengolm staff and teachers help you to the max. You will also graduate debt free and earn a great education at the same time.

I've discovered if you are any race other than black, don't consider Trenholm as they may claim they are open for all but the presence is welcoming feeling. Forget majority ever returning a phone call, especially F.A. that Edwards lady, and if you confront her why she denies getting the messages. Real smart just call the incoming student a liar would be more appropriate. Second, why have former school transcripts sent this school if the incoming student does not know what is accepted or what isn't - No evaluation showing on the student's Portal; so, why ask for former transcripts? Really this is the most smoke screened and mismanaged school I've ever encountered. You don't know where you stand grade wise, don't know if financial aid is in place, and get this a virtual bookstore from their own affiliated online bookstore, which means you cannot buy or rent from whom you wish - Isn't that odd. Best advice enroll anywhere if you are not Black! This school isn't for you.

They are horrible. The admissions process was hectic and so was registration. You sit and wait for hours even in financial aid only to talk to people with a horrible attitudes. They do not accept student loans so the money that was paid out of pocket was definitely a waste. Th program that I was enrolled in did not have enough teachers and they even have bad attitudes. Trenholm as a whole is a bad school. I constantly want to transfer but there are no other programs in Montgomery unless I'm willing to enroll for my bachelors degree.
