Student Reviews

Based on your supplied Google data:

⭐ Average Rating: 4.2 (76 Reviews)

This rating applies specifically to the Eden Prairie Google campus listing, which is useful because the Brooklyn Park campus has a separate review profile.

Enrollment Tips

This campus should not be merged into your Brooklyn Park listing. Keep both locations because scheduling differs materially.

For example:

• Carpentry — Eden Prairie daytime
• Plumbing — Eden Prairie evening
• HVAC — Eden Prairie daytime in fall and evening in spring
• Auto Body — Eden Prairie evening
• Automotive — Eden Prairie daytime

Students should therefore choose the campus based on both the trade and the schedule they need.

Bottom Line

Hennepin Technical College’s Eden Prairie campus is a strong standalone directory listing, especially for HVAC, automotive, plumbing, carpentry, collision repair and automation/robotics. Its main advantage over simply listing Hennepin Tech once is that students can clearly see which programs and schedules are actually available at Eden Prairie rather than assuming every course is offered at both campuses.
