    Am learning a lot

    It is a great place to start. The educators are very knowledgable and I feel that I have gotten a lot out of the classes I have taken thus far.
    Am enjoying being here

    Its a great little community, that feels more like a family. Everyone is very helpful and you will feel welcomed from the very first step in the door.
    Bang for the buck

    Its a great place where you can still learn exactly what you need to learn, sometimes more, than sending thousands of dollars for your basics.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would suggest coming to a community college before going to a university because you will get more one-on-one attention and have smaller classes and it will help you adjust to college life at the beginning. It is also cheaper by taking your basics that will transfer to your choice of university.

    El Paso Community College is the best place to start. It is a great place to start if you are a student who does not qualify for financial aid. It offers many different associates degrees, and you can obtain it in two years or less.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are thinking of attending college in the future El Paso Community College would be a place where you might want to start. It has more than three different locations, and it provide classes with a small amount of students. This is in advantage to have 1-to-1 student-teacher time. This is the place where you can get all the basics out of the way, and transfer the hours to the University of your choice. Also the price of tuition is much smaller than that of a University.
    Academic Rigor

    The academic rigor of this institution is at a reasonable level. Most of the teachers understand there are responsibilities outside of school and work with you on due-dates of assignments. There are also teachers that challenge their students and expect for them to put 100 % to the class. It is challenging but not impossible.
    Dorm Life

    They do not offer dormitories since it’s a community college and have more than 3 locations available throughout the city of El Paso. This means you can stay home, and have no need to pay a dorm.
    Food and Dining

    Every location has a cafeteria inside, and each of them offers different types of food. Some have subway, Mexican food, even coffee shops. It’s not the greatest food but there are many restaurants available outside of the college that are very close.
    What to do for fun

    There are many different clubs to join. There is the SGA which stands for Student Government Association, for those who are interested in laws. There is the Cross-Country club, and many more sports to join for those who are athletes. They have a lot of events that go on throughout the semester. You can check-it out at their home page www.epcc.edu
    Bang for the buck

    Much cheaper than a University, if you are a student who does not get any financial help this is the best option for you. Get your basics out of the way as fast as you can, and at an affordable price. In no time you can obtain a Certification or Associates degree and transfer the hours completed to the University of your choice! Also the parking sticker is 25 dollars for one year, that is very affordable.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Some traditions the College has are free food for students on special holidays. Also some vendors come to the college, set-up and sell many different things. They sell Mexican candy, jewelry, and many other things. The blood donations also set up every semester in all the campuses and promote blood donations. (Teachers tend to give extra-credit points to those who donate)
    Great for these types of students

    Once again it is great for those students who are not eligible for financial aid, and have to pay full price for the tuition. It offers payment plans and classes are very affordable. It is also great for those who want to get the basics out of the way as fast as they can, and not have too much pressure from teachers. Most of the teachers in this College are very flexible with the students and very understanding.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are many clubs and activities going on during the semesters. They have the Honors Program, SGA (Student Government Association), Phi Theta Kappa club and many activities. Some activities promote physical health, like ‘Race for the Cure,’ and some are to help the least fortunate like food donations. Other activities are for students, for example Art Festivals and Art exhibitions. These are competition among students; the winner either gets money, a lap tops, an iPad etc.
    Campus Safety

    The College has its own police department which is always rounding around the college parking and buildings. In the years that I have attended this college I have not had any problems regarding this. I feel safe, even when I take night classes.

    Tips for prospective students

    To never give up and always try your hardest because no one will help you finish school more than yourself.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is good for everybody because it has a lot of different classes. I didn't imagine for there to be so many different careers.

    El Paso Community College is the best place to start. The college offers opportunities for virtually every degree plan. The price of the school for the quality of education is a steal.
    Tips for prospective students

    Prospective students should try to register several months in advanced to avoid registering for classes late. The classes will fill up quick so registering early is priority.
    Academic Rigor

    The teachers are flexible enough to keep it fair, but not overly flexible to where nothing is being learned. The classes go at a reasonable pace and teachers make sure material is being understood. El Paso Community College will give all students a great academic challenge.
    Dorm Life

    None Applicable
    Food and Dining

    Every branch of El Paso Community College has its food perks. Subway, Tazos, and frozen gelatin are offered at the Transmountain campus. The school makes an effort to enforce a healthier diet.
    What to do for fun

    The campus is surrounded by a work out trail. The equipment is a great, fun way to stay in shape before, after, or in between classes.
    Bang for the buck

    A great quality of education for a great low price. It makes going to school much more possible for many financially struggling students.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Several times a semester the school will allow vendors to go to the school and sell goods. The school is also interested in helping students find jobs so every semester they hold a job fair at the school. Furthermore, the school will host fun free events such as rock climbing, basketball shooting contest, and much more.
    Great for these types of students

    All students would greatly benefit from this school.
    Clubs and Activities

    The school has a variety of clubs. If nothing sparks the interest of a student then the student is able to make a club of their own for others to join. The opportunities of clubs are endless.
    Campus Safety

    Multiple campus policemen patrol the entire campus. The policemen will walk students to their vehicle if the student feels it necessary. Women are usually the ones that prefer to be walked to their vehicle after dark.

    The campus is small, so it's easy to get to all of my classes on time. There are so many different courses and a great advisor team to help me chose which ones are best for me. All of my teachers are ambitious and it's easy for me to follow along in class.
    Tips for prospective students

    You should always register for classes as soon as registration begins because if you wait last minute, you might not get the classes you need. The library is one of the best spots to study because its spacious and really quiet. Getting to school early is always better if you want to find close parking.
    Academic Rigor

    There are teachers who try to get you excited about the course your taking and they lecture as though their life depended on it! The rigor is not so hard, but at times very tedious. To pass most of the classes you have to make sure you study and if your teacher gives you study reviews, then you will need them.
    Dorm Life

    EPCC does not have dorms on campus because everyone lives so close to it anyway, it's just easy to get to.
    Food and Dining

    There is a lady who cooks for the school, her name is Conchita! She has the best food you could possibly imagine. It might be a bit pricey at times, but worth every penny. There are also vending machines with healthy snack and plenty of beverage vending machines.
    What to do for fun

    There are so many different clubs and student activities on campus. The student governement holds all sorts of special events at the campus that sometimes allow the student to win cool prizes like a Nook or a Kindle. We can also play pool and foosball in the main building.
    Bang for the buck

    The classes are worth it. Tuition is going up everywhere and EPCC is just way more affordable than a 4 year university.
    Great for these types of students

    If you work part time and have kids or just out of high school, this college is the absolute best. Your teachers can work with you if you have emergencies and almost all of the assignments you need to catch up on can be found online with the days lecture!
    Clubs and Activities

    There are too many clubs to count at this school! Some of the ones that really stand out would be Theatre club and Geology Team.
    Greek Life

    There is no greek life at EPCC.
    Campus Safety

    The campus is safe. There is a campus police in the main building and there is always a policemen outside roaming around the parking lots to give out tickets to parking violators. There is no fighting at the campus, mostly because there are adults there and so everyone is expected to behave like such.

    As it is said EPCC is the Best Place To Start. EPCC is a great place to begin as the orientation and wonderful and professional service that is offered helps students have a more clear way to see that it is possible. I would recommend EPCC as a starter for anyone that is ready to make a change in their life and begin an excellent journey.
    Tips for prospective students

    Starting on yor goals is never easy but once you achieve getting your foot in the door things slowly fall in place and you begin to see that the world awaits for people loke us that are willing to give it our best effort in becoming someone. Prove to yourself and to others that it is possible if your only willing to give it a chance. The only thing that stands between you and what your capable of doing is your decision to believe in your self.
    Academic Rigor

    Though it is a challenge nothing is impossible and one day when the time comes to look back it will all be worth the effort, the time and and that good axample that you have also set for others.
    What to do for fun

    There's many things that can be done for fun but the best one is to know and meet knew people who have just like you begun this journey that will onee day all be worth while.

    The atmosphere is conducive to acquiring the necessary skills for career entry/advancement. The professors are very knowledgeable and sensitive to the educational needs of their students.
    Tips for prospective students

    Ask questions when you are unsure of which way to turn. Stay in communication with your counselor and do some research on your own before so that you know what to expect. Locate someone who is currently in the program that you are interested in so that you can obtain some reality based advice but seek out those who are/have been successful.
    Great for these types of students

    high school grads who are shy about big university atmosphere; great starter experience for them prior to moving on to university level study; great for mature individuals wanting to acquire new skill set or improve on knowledge already acquired.

    The Education earned from this magnanimous and amiable college has given me an invaluable set of experiences; Shaping me as a professional person who is willing to get to the next step; therefore finishing high school with an LVN certification and more than willing to go for Pre-medicine.
    Tips for prospective students

    Students who are interested in attending this college, would be more than satisfied when they encounter an environment fulfilled of experienced and wisdom personnel who would face a one to one class with all of their students; therefore as my conclusion if the student is willing to work hard enough in the classes and shows this to the teachers, there should not be any problems.
    Academic Rigor

    The academic Rigor as to any other college is from my point of view average, the classes I have being taking during the summer during the past 2 years have not being as hard as studying an average of 3 hours daily after the classes, considering also the fact that as a nursing student you have to acquired the responsibilities and professionalism that there are as a Health Care Provider. In conclusion the classes are not hard, but challenging in a way that you learn everything that is in the syllabus of the class.
    Dorm Life

    There are no Dormitories available since its a college, however there are 3 different locations throughout El Paso Texas. Making it easier for the population of students that live in different parts of the city.
    Food and Dining

    As I was in El Paso Community College during the summer, I got to experienced the exquisite food that Subway provides to the campus, from breakfast all the way to 5 dollar sandwiches that are great for your stomach and even better for your budget.
    What to do for fun

    Well as The Rio Grande Campus of EPCC is located in Downtown, everything is near you. From Coffee locations like Starbucks, all the way to elegant restaurants that variate from Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Argentina, Mexican, and american specialties; examples are Mesa Grill, Crave, Taco Tote, Sushi Express, Panda Express etc... If your interests are for fun and you are 18 years or older there is a variety of Bars from different types of individuals, in other words from Hookah Bars all the way to Dancing Clubs.

    Campus Safety

    the Safety in this Campus is one of the priorities of the committee of the college, as there are police officers around campus checking for students safety from crossing the street correctly all the way to not having any disturbance during class, and your car in the parking lot in the other hand is really secure as there is police officers checking at the plates of every single car that enters the parking lot in order to maintain an organized and safely setting for the students.

    el paso community college is a great place to learn because the learning is more hands-on and personal. classes are usually available in different areas allowing less money on gas and more on educational materials. classes are also smaller allowing more interaction with classmates and professors which i feel is greatly needed when pursuing an education in the medical field. i want to learn everything in such a way that i retain it for life. my grades are very important to me, of course, but the potential to learn here is awesome.
    Tips for prospective students

    el paso community college allows students the chance to learn and grow through hands-on applications and interaction with students and professors. the professors are definitely more personal here and make each student feel that there participation is needed every day. you make the choice to attend every day because it benefits you as a student and a person.

And make sure to always have the proper documents you need and have everything organized for the an easier enrolling experience.

    Am learning a lot

    It's great! The smaller class sizes here allow much student-teacher interaction. Teachers are able to joke around with students and still keep us on task. They are always available! Now it's not easy either, you still have to work for your grade. You want an A? Prove it!
    Am enjoying being here

    I really love the student involvement. I am greatly involved in my school and because of this, my advisor offered me a job! Also, most of these organizations here offer stipends and more. Everything has it's own way of contributing to your education as well as your resume.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition is great here. It's reasonable. Paying $1,000 for 4 classes isn't that bad. It's rather impressive.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you do plan to attend EPCC, I strongly suggest getting involved and always check your e-mail. Because of my e-mail, I applied for an internship to go to Salzburg, Austria and got the it! You never know what your e-mail can offer.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is excellent for students who want an idea of what college life is like. First time college students: this is a great way to learn study habits, how to juggle school and work, and how to talk to your teachers. This school is also great for those students who have families and want to further their education. EPCC is quite flexible with schedules. El Paso Community College slogan: The Best Place to Start.

    I enjoyed being there, in many respects, as it gave me a head start on going to college.
    Bang for the buck

    I would say there is great bang for the buck, because I paid nothing. I was a Dual Credit student, going for High School and college credit both. From what I have heard about prices it is still great for its price.
    Tips for prospective students

    Complete your application and placement tests as soon as possible. Be prepared to deal with teachers and students with different personalities and beliefs from you.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for Dual Credit students, students who wish an easier transition from High School to College, or even those who are returning after many years of no school.
