Niche User: Before enrolling into MediaTech I took three tours. After the third tour with Roy I took the first of several steps to start the enrollment process. I've had the opportunity to see the campus culture before attending my first class. The college does everything possible to see their students exceed in their field of study. From setting up jobs during and post graduation, putting money together for homeless students, checking in on students who miss a class and becoming familiar with your reason why. The campus looks promising and I look for to my journey as a student at MediaTech.... Read 14 reviews

Junior: UNT has been the most inclusive and beneficial school for me. I have been introduced to so many wonderful peers and professors, all who are rooting for my success as a future educator. The courses I have taken have been beyond informational and inspiring with my dream career being so close! I have been educated on so many parts of our educational history that have never been mentioned to me prior, such as the Native American Boarding Schools, and the Lemon Grove Incident. I have found myself welcomed into the Mean Green community immediately upon arrival, and I recommend the University of North Texas to everyone considering!... Read 6,106 reviews

Sophomore: My name is Karen Fisher and I have been attending Dallas College since 1995 and I have had nothing but the best experiences while attend here. If there is anything that you do not understand there are so many people here with a wealth of knowledge that is willing to share. There is also, a great support system available and accessible to utilize if needed. I have also attended Cedar Valley Community College and it has the same attributes. The classes are not as large and the professors are willing to assist in any way possible to make learning easy.... Read 620 reviews

Sophomore: Collin College has been a great stepping stone for me. I have never felt so myself and confident because of how diverse Collin’s environment is. I enjoy going to school and feel that every professor and staff member there wants you to succeed. I really like how inclusive they make the school activities and how it’s free for everyone. I would like to see an even stricter security outside of the school. We do have security inside, but there is not a scanning component at the entrances so anyone is free to enter. Unfortunately, I wonder if that could come back to haunt us. The student council is really good at listening and understanding what is best for us students, so I do have hope that an open conversation could change the security system for the better. Overall, that doesn’t stop me from attending. I go to a technical campus and my professor has compared the work between her university students and us community college ones. She confirmed our work is more advanced. I learned so much!... Read 2,183 reviews

Alum: I spent two semesters at Tarrant County College Northwest Campus to get my Associates of Science. My instructors were almost all excellent, very understanding, and helpful, with the exception of a single online course I took (it was essentially a weekly assigned reading and essay with minimal teacher interaction). There are abundant resources on campus for students, with tutoring and dedicated help centers separated by subject. The extracurriculars were also fun. I got involved in the school's math club, music club, and philosophy club (Pi club, NW Music Association, and Plato's cave). It being a community college, the clubs were relatively small (5-10 people), which made it feel much more personal. The campus also has a gym and pool that are free to use, which was VERY awesome. The cafeteria is a bit lacking, being a Subway and some vending machines, so definitely bring a lunch. I met lots of awesome people there, and will be going back this fall to pursue their music program!... Read 3,292 reviews

Freshman: I am enrolled in the automotive program and have been here since February. Every day I learn something new. I am absorbing and taking all my learning and training seriously, so that I can further my education as well start a career. It was a struggle in the beginning trying to get in since there was so much red tape since I am pretty much on my own. Aside from my grandmother, who is my biggest blessing. Only with her help and by Gods grace am I here today. I will graduate God wiling in March of 2023. I would like to further my education and profession y then interning with Tesla. LTI is giving me the skills and knowledge that I require to do that.... Read 46 reviews

Senior: Remington is a great place to go to school. The teachers and the admin are amazing and they work with students to help them in stressful situations and there is a lot of colleges that don’t do that! I couldn’t be more happy with the Fort Worth remington campus! Thank you for being an amazing school!... Read 36 reviews
