    Am learning a lot

    Although Tarrant County College is just a community college it offers classes that have a more rigorous course load like that of one in a major university. I am glad I came to this school before transferring out to a larger university because I feel more prepared and am ready for anything.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the atmosphere of this college all the teachers are very laid back and are there to teach the students who are willing to learn. I also really liked the fact that it is really easy to meet people there because the class are relatively small in size so it is very easy to talk and make friends with each other.
    Bang for the buck

    Tarrant County College is very cheap. This is a great school for anyone who is on a budget and also looking for a good quality education. Also I recommend this school for almost everyone because you can transfer almost all your credits to any university.
    Tips for prospective students

    Everyone should check to make sure they are on the right path to transferring to another university, if that is what they choose to do. Make sure that all your class are transferable and are class you should actually be taking for your declared major.
    Great for these types of students

    TCC is a great school for single parents like myself. It is easy to apply and easy to get into. This school is very flexible with there class schedule and offers a wide variety of online classes so if you don't have the time to drive to school you can still sit down and take a class or two at home. This school is also great for students who don't quite know what they want to do yet. You can take classes and figure out what you like, and then decide your major from there.

    Am learning a lot

    When I first contemplated attending Tarrant County College, I was influenced by university students' negative comments about community colleges. With that retrospect, I registered for classes last fall. To my surprise, the professors at TCC were helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Though they had doctorate degrees, they did not treat you like an average dumb student. Although TCC is not a major university, they still have many student organizations and a few Honor Societies. Community College students do need to get involved on their campuses, it helps the major universities get to know who they are; grades are just as important too! Attending a community college is a great way to prove to a four year university that you are serious and focused on your college education. Attend every class, make good grades, and become acquainted with your professors, you will need letters of recommendation. Tarrant County College is a place where people of all ages can come together and learn, do not be persuaded by others not to attend, it is a very good step towards finishing your degree at a major university!
    Am enjoying being here

    I love being able to come on campus for class then leave in my own car and go wherever I wish.
    Bang for the buck

    TCC's tuition is very affordable! They make paying tuition a breeze by offering scholarships, loans, and payment options.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved on campus, though it seems difficult. Join a club or Honor Society or start your own club. Do not be ashamed for being a student at a community college, in the end you will not have near as many student loans as the other four year university grads!
    Great for these types of students

    TCC is great for students who prefer living at home while attending college or students that have families to raise and jobs to work. TCC is another tract that students can take in finishing their degrees, TCC offers so many different class times and locations, making it easier for busy students.

    Am learning a lot

    if you like smaller classrooms where you and the teacher can communicate on a regular basis, then this is the school for you. it was really easy for me to get help when i needed it right away from the teacher.
    Am enjoying being here

    there's not so many distractions of having too many students. if sometimes you don;t like people to be around so you can concentrate a lot more on your work, Defiantly TCC is the place to be.
    Bang for the buck

    alot cheaper. i didn't pay as much as i would have going to a university. And as an undergrad student, it's best if you REALLY do your best not to have debts and loans.
    Tips for prospective students

    you know when you are fresh from high school, just turned legal meaning 18, and you think that you can run the show by yourself, believe me you can, but you can run it better when you have those who know what the road is like help you run your show. basically, i stayed home and went to a small school, yes i had my little freedom, parents are on my case still but not as much. this is good because, with them on my case, it helped me get back on track when i slacked off and they saw progress also.
    Great for these types of students

    just out of high school.
    want that freedom and assuring your parents or guardians that you can do it. this is the time to let them stay back and watch you start on this path for college life.
    you want to save money.
    need that one on one with the teacher
    someone your type.

    I love this school, it has the most greatest professors on earth. Their resource rooms like the library, the math and science labs are very convenient and helpful. This school is the best and I don't have any regrets what so ever!
    Tips for prospective students

    Before going off to a big time university to spend big bucks go to tcc and save your money. The classes are very cheap cheap and did I say cheap. They have most if not all the classes u need to take for you to graduate! You can always transfer your credits on a associates of arts degree plan and go !to your school of choice! but always double check and make sure if that school will take all of your credits to be on the safe side

    Tips for prospective students

    study as productively as you can, it really comes in handy. make sure you have a good relationship with your teachers. actually pay attention in class, you will be surprised to know how much it pays off.
    Academic Rigor

    academics at tcc is really important because of the fact that most students transfer to a 4-year university. it really feels better to make good grades here and then transfer with a really good gpa.
    Dorm Life

    there are no dorms at tcc it's a community college.

    All of my classes provide me lots of supportive information. I learned how to manage time and finish project on time. It's not about who's smarter, it's about timing and follow instruction.
    Am enjoying being here

    I definitely like the physical education facilities over there, have chance to workout and enjoy the deepness of swimming pool. Most of my friends go there, so I'm really satisfied with this year.
    Bang for the buck

    It is way cheaper than university, pell grant is enough for me to pay for tuition, books, and even new clothes for college.
    Tips for prospective students

    Remember to make friend, cause in college anyone can have what you don't, so be active and friendly.
    Great for these types of students

    It'll be heaven for students who are hard-working, friendly, respectful.

    Did learn a lot

    The teachers there love what they are doing. They challenge their students to do their best. I have gotten interested in different areas that I never thought about before because of the professors.
    Did enjoy being here

    The classes are small so the teachers are easier to reach and more available to help you one on one. The library has a lot of resources and the librarians are eager to help you in whatever they can.
    Bang for the buck

    This school is a lot cheaper then universities but it still offers a high quality education. We learn for the same books that higher priced places use without having to empty our wallets
    Tips for prospective students

    Show up to class, do your homework, become familiar with your teachers, and you are bound to succeed
    Great for these types of students

    Students who are fresh out of high school and want to get a feel for college before moving to a four year university.

    Am learning a lot

    I cannot believe how interested my teachers have me in their classes. I used to hate government in high school and now it's my favorite class! The learning is on a deeper level, it's not just about memorizing facts anymore. The work keeps me challenged and I know I will be prepared when I transfer to a 4 year university.
    Am enjoying being here

    I thought I wasn't going to like it, I will admit. But, I actually look forward to class everyday. It's small enough to make new friends (which is always good) but still bigger than high school so you'll probably see a new face everyday. Some of the teachers are fantastic! They will truly care about you and aren't just there getting a paycheck. It's located near a lot of different restaurants and I enjoy all the activities that TCC has to offer.
    Bang for the buck

    You are paying way less for the same basic courses that other students are taking at 4-year universities.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't feel bad or embarrassed that you are starting off at a community college, like I did. It really is an excellent way to see how different college is from high school and gives you a great opportunity to learn more about what you have to do to succeed in college. Go to class, read instructions carefully, and make the most of it(:
    Great for these types of students

    -Anybody who wants to save money on your basics
    -Those who just aren't ready to leave home yet
    -For those who don't know if traditional colleges are right for them

    Great school, the professors are really awesome and all of the staff are willing to help you with whatever you need. Its a great place to start a college career. Definitely come here before paying the big bucks at a major university.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early, the good teachers and classes fill up really quickly.
    Academic Rigor

    Like many schools, it depends more on the teachers than the school. Some professors make you work for the A, while some basically hand them out.
    Dorm Life

    No dorms, but there are so many campuses that there is bound to be one close to home.
    Food and Dining

    Breakfast is really good, everything else is overpriced.
    What to do for fun

    Its a rare day that a campus has no events going on, and some of them are really fun.
    Bang for the buck

    Quality classes, almost all of them transfer in Texas. The tuition is even more worth it if you use all the services they provide, like the career center and the library(use the databases, watch the movies, ask the librarians for help on anything).
    Great for these types of students

    There are a lot of older students, people who wanted to get a degree for cheap and plenty who just are not ready to leave home yet. But its a great place for anybody, really.
    Campus Safety

    There are always plenty of cops around, especially on the campuses with the Police Academies. However, there are some notices about motorcycles that were stolen or fancy cars that were broken into, but usually its pretty safe.

    I have learned a great deal here and am looking forward to completing my degree. Everyone has been helpful and accommodating to my disabilities. The atmosphere is all about learning and helps your dreams come true.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get to know your counselors, find one you like, check them all out. Read all your syllabus' for each class. Have everything ready for classes..ie...books. Find a buddy, that can help you, vice versa.
    Academic Rigor

    This is my sixth semester and my challenges have been many, mostly keeping the outside world outside. I'm still looking for a good mentor, and counselor. Most have helped in everything possible, but there is something missing. Probably because most my classes have been online, due to my disabilities. I'm planning on doing more classes at the college in the fall and spring semesters.

    Tips for prospective students

    Do your job and focus on studying. Prioritize your work, life, and school and you can really have it all.
    Academic Rigor


    All the courses and instructors are very reasonable. They are not too hard, not too easy. If you show effort, they will go above and beyond to help their students.
    Dorm Life


    I live off campus so don't know how dorm life is.
    Food and Dining


    They can use a wider selection of food. Hear that Subway's coming...that will be great!

    There are a lot of different activities, musical and clubs you can join depending on your areas of interests. There are so many...

    Bang for the buck


    The BEST part...the cheapest in tuition I've ever find!!! It's crazy.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for high school students who are transitioning into college/university life. The classes are smaller, and the professors are still there to take you through rough rides. Other schools..you're on your own at this point. Professors are only there to teach, how you make it is completely up to you. Not here. You still get a lot of coaching. It's also good for matured students. There are many courses offered throughout school year with wide range of hours and flexibility. If you are struggling financially or with time, this is the school for you. With extremely cheap education, and lots of different courses offered throughout the year, it's your pick to fit it in your schedule.
    Clubs and Activities



    There are lots of different clubs to join. Some are even bizarre. My favorite is PTK.
    Campus Safety


    There has never been an incident when I feel that my safety is compromised in any parts of the building or surrounding areas.

    Tarrant County College is a great place to get started on the way to the rest of your live. It is affordable and is close to where everyone lives with the three campuses. The classes are small enough for the instructors to know and remember you from class to class.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be ready for it to be just like high school. The instructors are a little more hands off from my school but they still want to see you succeed in what ever you want to do.
    Academic Rigor

    The instructors will help you along the way but keep in mind that they have three to five classes a day to teach so they will not hold your hand. It is a great starting place for those not sure they want to go further in their education.
    Dorm Life

    Well this is a community college so there is not dorms here. You are at home with your family or staying in your own apartment.
    Food and Dining

    Each campus has a caffe that you can get food at. It is a little overpriced but they have to make money doing that too.
    What to do for fun

    There is the student center if you have a long time between classes. Each campus has a gym that any student can use even if you are not in an athletic class. From what I can tell all campuses also have pool to swim in. The library is a great place to get away from it all as well.
    Bang for the buck

    Don't be afraid to speak up in class here. The classes are smaller and you can ask questions if you don't understand what is being talked about.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is 5 campuses to choose from. I have been to all of them just walking around. Northwest has the lake to eat lunch at. Northeast has some great trees to study under when between classes. South has the great clock tower that does the Westminster Chimes. Southeast is a new building that is all together (from what I have seen) and you don't have to go outside if you don't want to. The Trinity River campus is the newest building that was converted from the Radioshack offices.
    Great for these types of students

    Campus Safety

    Most of the officers you see there are campus police. Yes they can arrest you if you are doing something against the law. I never saw a broken into car when going there over the years. The men and women of the Tarrant County Police Force are great at their jobs. They even had me think about joining them for a while.

    The school has a very strong foreign group of students. TCCD is committed to the African American population. It also is good for those who wish to go into nursing.
    Campus Safety

    The campus that I am on is patrolled heavily by guards. It also has a contingent of police officers. Escorts to your car are very common at TCCD.

    Cost effective, close to home and flexible class times are helpful for those working or with a family. Advisors are not very accurate when wanting to transfer to University. I recommend contacting the university directly I have had great luck with this and was even told TCC had some info incorrect.

    Definitely a great option and affordable to get your basics out of the way.

    Great teachers who are very helpful in what they do. A great place to go to help get core classes out of the way at a very affordable rate. The option of either online course or 8 week courses is amazing- plenty of time for work.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you go to your classes, they are tough on their attendance policy. Also, if you are doing 8 week courses, they can get pretty rough so make sure you can handle it.
    Academic Rigor

    While it is a community college and can be easier than your typical university, they do have some pretty rough courses.

    Tips for prospective students

    make sure you talk to an academic advisor before signing up for classes. one might think they can take a class, but they actually must take a different required one instead.

    for me, it is between three stars and four. as most colleges, it depends on the teachers one gets. most of teachers at tcc are okay, but some are wonderful.

    don't let anyone fool you, tcc is just as good as a four year university, if not better! perfect for any new-to-college or transfer student. more bang for your buck so to speak.
    Tips for prospective students

    just like every other college, tcc has deadlines. keep up with them or you could lose out on going to school or your financial aid. never fear, tcc is on your side and has posted a complete list of deadlines and important dates on their website just for you!
    Academic Rigor

    the is no loss of quality by going to a community college. the only thing you're losing is dollar signs off your tuition! my workload is directly proportionate to my courseload and is completely manageable, even with two part-time jobs and a social life. (i am a full-time student!)
    Dorm Life

    tcc has no dorms as there are campuses located throughout the metroplex. however, living wi your parents or on your own is always an experience worth having, especially if the cost is $0.
    Food and Dining

    the is an on-campus cafe where they prepare the food fresh. it's also fairly healthy and delicious. the chefs behind the cuisine are culinary students at the college, so you won't often be disappointed, or at all, when you're looking for a between class snack or meal.
    What to do for fun

    there isn't much on-campus for fun, but there are numerous sites and attractions in the metroplex that you should be sure to visit outside of class.
    Bang for the buck

    a four year university will cost you upwards of $15,000 to $20,000! however, you can get the same education by living in the comfort of your own home for roughly $50 per credit hour. i don't know about you, but that's a pretty sweet deal to me.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    one of the strangest things i've seen yet is the life size chess board outside the student center. there is even a small group of students who play harry potter's wizard chess on the board!
    Great for these types of students

    in my time at tcc, i've run into every type of student imaginable: busy mom, fresh out of high school, dad looking for a promotion, grandma looking to come out of retirement, veterans in need of an education, the list goes on! tcc caters to a number of different individuals and works with them on an individual basis when needed.
    Clubs and Activities

    as a member of a few on-campus clubs, i can say that they're a great environment for students who want to meet other people with similar interests. college isn't just for getting to a degree, you should take time to meet people and be a little sociable.
    Greek Life

    tcc has no sororities or fraternities, so if you're looking for greek life, you should be studying a medical field or be a real smarty pants for an academic organization.
    Campus Safety

    safety only gets four stars because after 5pm, security patrols slow to almost a complete stop, the campus isn't entirely well lit, and not very well monitored. though the security officers are very nice and will walk you to your vehicle if they call, speed dial they're number! also, the campus has emergency beacons placed throughout the buildings and parking lots.

    on a scale of one to five i would say tarrant county college is a four. the campuses are equipped with a qualified teaching staff, resources necessary to succeed and an extensive selection of class options. it is difficult to make it into the classes you want or need as you make your way through a degree program because of the availability of seats per class, and only specific classes are offered at certain campuses.
    Tips for prospective students

    sign up for classes as soon as they are available to you. don't buy textbooks until you have already been to class. a lot of the times professors will allow an older edition and others don't require the book, and some don't teach out of the book and success in the class relies strictly on class lecture. the urge to skip class will always be there but its in your best interest to be there because if you miss a day you miss so much material that will put you behind real quick.
    Academic Rigor

    some classes are harder than others. some teachers will treat their class as if it is a majors class and others will understand that attendance in their class is a stepping stone to fulfilling a requirement for a specific degree.
    Dorm Life

    there is no on campus housing, but there are a ton of apartments nearby and the prices aren't too bad.
    Food and Dining

    the cafe in the school is actually really good. they have breakfast and lunch. they are open as long as the school is open. the cost of food is equivalent to what you would pay at any mainstream fast food restaurant. i encourage you to try it out. there is a quite a bit of places to eat off campus nearby but thats only if your schedule allows for it.
    What to do for fun

    there isn't much to do for fun.
    Bang for the buck

    the classes are $50 a credit hour making a 3 hour course $150. books will cost more that tuition but as i mentioned before not all the professors require the latest edition or require one at all.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    there is a life size chess board. its pretty cool during the nice sunny days there are always people out there playing.
    Great for these types of students

    quiet: people go to class and leave. few want to sit and make friends. they want to get in and out and be done.
    free: if you like to do what you want when you want this is great for you. attendance isn't required many students just go to class to take the test.

    Clubs and Activities

    i didn't know of many.
    Greek Life

    there are clubs that seem that they would be a fraternity or a sorority but they are actually honor societies. no greek row here.
    Campus Safety

    there are city police on campus at all times. they are a service for the students as well. they will provide battery charges and gas. they can walk you to your car. they patrol the halls and just maintain order on campus in a subtle way.

    The campuses are nice; Northwest is definitely the most aesthetically pleasing. The staff and the majority of the students are helpful and friendly.

    Tarrant County College (TCC) is very well balanced for any if not all students; the costs for classes are low, the teachers are knowledgeable, and there are a variety of people to meet and activities to take part in. I thought about attending a 4-year college at first, but the amount of money I saved from attending TCC has proved more fruitful than if I had attended a 4-year school from the start. I have already accumulated about 40 credits and recommend TCC to any and all students looking to save money but still earn a degree.

    The only reason I feel like I'm learning a lot, is because my anatomy teacher is the best there ever was. He is the only professor I've had that (I believe) loves what he is doing. Everyone else is just there to spit out information that may or may not be useful. (That's for you to decide.)
    Am enjoying being here

    No. While the professors are at least approachable, the administration in the registrar, financial aid, counseling, and business services are not. They need a lesson in customer service. I work in retail and if I ever spoke to a customer the way some of these ladies have spoken to me and to others I would be out of a job. Also, every time I leave the counselors office, I feel more confused than when I went in. Not to mention that they tried to tell me that my classes at TCU weren't the same as taking the class at TCC. (No, It's better.)

    You will save so much money. Also, you can just rent textbooks for ever more savings. You get more out of the class than what actually you pay.
    Tips for prospective students

    One tip is to stay focused in your goals at the school. Remember that just because it is a community college, it should not be looked down upon. Many people in their life came to a community college. You should not be ashamed. Besides, many university students come to this school to take classes and even enjoy them.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for people who are starting out their college career or exploring in what major they should pursue.
