SCTI
 
Im gonna be starting the automotive program at Somerset Tech in September.

Its the school on North Bridge street right off of route 22.

Is anyone else here going there or already graduated cuz i'd love to hear some feedback on this place

I was there for two years through RVCC. I got my AS in Construction Technology.

I cannot speak for the auto dept. But everyone I dealt with was great. Good luck.

Also I have seen your car on Rt.22 a few times, usually heading west bound through Bridgewater in the after noon. No mistaking it with that Ram Air hood. :wink:

now that you mention it, I have seen it on 22 as well

I think HardcoreZ28 has taken a class or three there. Plenty of places to eat right along 22, and once you're done with the schooling, plenty of auto dealerships with service departments for potential jobs.

Good luck!

good luck, bro.

I've been taking weekend autobody classes there for about 4 years now. George Byrd is the man for that. As for any type of mechanics classes I don't have any experience. If you take any welding classes try to get Don Smith....he's excellent as well.

I like Mr. Byrd! He has some pretty cool cars, I went to the vo-tech high school but for commercial art.

Pretty good school from what I hear, n' it is in a good location.

Predator86 08-03-2007 06:02 PM

On the topic of schools...what have you guys heard about Lincoln Tech?

I almost went there but i didnt feel like making the trip every morning and the price was WAY more than SCTI. I dont hear anything good about them lincoln.

Lincoln used to be good back in the day, but it has gotten waaaaaaay over priced and ain't worth it. My little brother went there years ago, and he said it was starting to slide then...

If you're talking about the one in Mahwah i pass it all the time, i don't know how good the education is but all you see is :rice: flood out of there after class

Ian 08-04-2007 03:43 PM

lincoln tech is kinda the joke school in the tech school community. At Wyotech we used to make fun of them and the urinary tract infection school (aka UTI). I'm sure they made fun of us too, but at least we got a good education.

Predator86 08-04-2007 04:26 PM

Lol ya im talkin bout the one in Union...i dunno how much rice they produce haha

I hear good things about UTI but i have a friend who went there and he dosent know ish. I was gonna go there but it was waaaaayyyy too expensive and i didnt feel like moving to PA. but like you said Ian its all about the education.

The only thing that sucks about SCTI is that you cant get your ASE there....but they will still tell you where to go to get it and everything

Predator86 09-05-2007 08:12 AM

Untamed 09-05-2007 08:28 AM

I drive past there almost every day. Can't help ya with having someone from the club there though, sorry.

Good luck!

Predator86 09-07-2007 08:40 PM
