Cosmetology is a big draw to any school and Denmark Technical College is the only Cosmetology school offering room and board or dorms. Some of the State colleges claim they have dorms, but they do not. They have apartment living and the room and board is not part of their financial aid. Cosmetology students always bring a friend or two with them which also helps the other program areas, too.
