Junior: What I love most about going to Texas Tech are the people I've met there. I've become close friends with cancer survivors, people from halfway around the world, and people who've led protests! Almost everyone there is kind and willing to give you the time of day to just talk if you want. Classes at Tech are also excellent. The professors and instructors do an excellent job of covering material and are usually very patient with the student body. Speaking of which, Texas Tech has helped me to discover my passion for mathematics. Prior to coming here, I used to struggle and fear the topic, but after taking Calculus I've learned that It can beautiful and sometimes wonderfully simple. There's plenty to do outside of academics at Tech. A myriad of clubs and organizations are always looking for new members to join. Several facilities such as the Rec Center, the Library, and Urbanovsky park allow anyone to get out and explore campus.... Read 5,311 reviews

Graduate Student: Amarillo College is an academically challenging institution of higher learning. I have gone on to become a Family Nurse Practitioner- but got my start at AC many years ago. AC is very well known for being a tough school- and I’m so glad I graduated with my first degree from there. Amarillo was a large but very clean and nicely maintained city when I lived there back then- but I cannot believe how much Amarillo has since boomed! Metroplex population of almost 300k! Anyway, AC is definitely worth it!... Read 624 reviews

Sophomore: Being a student at Angelina College is not only educational, it is fun! There are lots of student involvement activities to do throughout the year. Going to watch basketball and soccer is also lots of fun! My favorite is softball, though, since I play it. Some things that I think should change are maybe some of the foods that are served in the cafeteria and the meal plan for Saturdays and Sundays. I think there should be breakfast, lunch, and supper for all days of the week. Overall, I have really enjoyed attending Angelina College.... Read 280 reviews

Alum: My experience at MCC was great! All the professors I had were great and were invested in their students success. It is a good place to go to if you are not ready for a big university. They have so many resources available to students that it is impossible not to succeed, not only academically but personally as well. They also have two universities on campus that students could go to if they can not quite afford to go off to an expensive university. I had a good time at MCC but at the end of it, I knew it was time to move on. I recommend going here to anyone trying to cut costs.... Read 653 reviews

The counselors and students there are so helpful when it comes to picking a class, graduating, and even life circumstances. LIT offer students tutors and also guidance counselors. That school is really big on pushing students to fulfill their academic goals and requirements.

Other: I think San Jacinto College is great! It's a helpful and cost-effective way to get your basics done and out of the way while not having to pay the considerably higher price tags that 4-year universities like to put on their introductory classes. The teachers and students I've met are all very nice, the campus isn't that bad looking and the fries in the student cafe are heavenly. My favorite parts are when the clubs or the school itself hold festivals and such. I've received a custom-made license plate, flowers, and even ice cream for free at them! Overall I'm very satisfied with my San Jac experience and would recommend it to anyone who may not want to pay the 4-year universities their high price for basics that can be done at San Jac....

Alum: I personally loved TSC, even though it’s small I feel like I got to learn a lot better because you got to connect more with the professors and with your peers. I was there for two years and a half and it was pretty amazing and fun they do a lot of activities to feel the students engage with the college and atleast every week they had an event going on. The professors were super understanding and would take extra time to go over the material that wasn’t well learned in the class. Overall my experience in TSC I loved the professors and the students there and I made some great memories.... Read 133 reviews

Sophomore: I enrolled into San Antonio College as a new start to a new city. I gained my prerequisites prior to transferring, and enjoyed all of the instructors who have taught me thus far. The classes are small which allowed me to build relationships with my teachers, and they are very community forward. If you need help with anything outside of the classroom, they will share what resources they have to help you be successful! On campus life was extremely active and engaging as well!

I started out in a University with large classes, no one on one, and so many overwhelming experiences. I failed my first semester of college and felt so defeated but transferring to SPC helped me with getting motivation to continue attending college. They are super helpful in the process of applying, registering, financial aid, and so much more. There's nothing I would change about my school!... Read 673 reviews

The professors always cared a lot about what they taught, the campuses were always clean, and the offices/services are so much more efficient compared to my current 4-year university. I would recommend ACC to anyone, whether you want to achieve your Associate's, transfer, or simply take classes for funsies.... Read 2,458 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 3,263 reviews

Sophomore: Overall, my community college was and still is an amazing experience! All of the professors that I've had throughout my years of being enrolled in the institution were always very professional and helpful when it came to students needs while taking their course. Every professor went above and beyond to make sure I grasped the different subjects that were discussed if I ever at one point lacked any understanding. Not only are the professors very reassuring but all the rest of the staff such as financial aid advisors, counselors and security as well. Currently, I'm enrolled in the downtown location and although, all classes are now online when I did actually take my classes on campus, I felt very secure and safe 24/7/. I would definitely recommend this community college to any one especially those who are interested in a career in healthcare or culinary arts.... Read 618 reviews

Freshman: I recently got accepted to start my college career, although I had started college before and didn’t finish before joint the Army, and I’m trying to get my AAS in Cybersecurity. I plan to transfer to a four year college when I graduate CTC. I’m currently taking two classes online, one of which is self paced. But I do have two more classes starting on June 5th, then I will be full time. The staff at CTC has been amazingly supportive and helpful in my journey. My teachers are extremely patient with my work and I can definitely tell that they’re passionate about their jobs because of all of the help my fellow classmates and I receive. If I could change something about the way CTC works, what would that be? Honestly, nothing! I would recommend this college to anyone, especially someone who is just starting out. This college has a great campus located in a beautiful community. Every one of the staff I’ve interacted with has been amazing. This has been the best college I researched so far....

Sophomore: Delmar College has been a great experience for me. The courses are not filled with an overwhelming amount of students so there is more opportunities for you to ask questions to your professor or schedule time to discuss something from class during their office hours. All of the professors I have come across here have been wonderful and show their willingness to help however they can towards your course success. I am also grateful for the student success center provided by Delmar. I was able to rent out a laptop for free from there just by showing my student ID at a time when I could not afford one. I would recommend Delmar College to anyone who wishes to transfer to a university after achieving their Associates Degree from her. The college staff has shown me their care and their commitment and for that I will always be grateful!... Read 990 reviews

Starting with an Associate's allows you to dip your toes into a field that you've always been interested in, and can allow you to grow and explore new possibilities and careers. The overall student mindset is very similar, so you'll meet many students who want to explore various fields and careers. Overall, if you're interested in looking for a future career goal, but don't have the time or money to invest in a 4-year university, consider Houston Community College as a head-start!...

Junior: I have been at blinn for majority of my college experience and excited to graduate the surgical tech program (the professors in this program are top tier) next year! Blinn as a whole is a great school when trying to factor in cost and the efficiency of the school. I have had some issues with professors in the past and then unable to drop the class even though they (the professors) were unprofessional. The faculty in the admissions is great, I’ve never had an issue. I would love to see the advising department become a little more enthusiastic about helping the students. As for the financial aid department, they are helpful to an extent. I’ve always struggled with getting aid even though I’ve been independent since I was 17, but as far as the schools concerned that does not qualify you to get appropriate aid. They are super friendly in that department but not very helpful regarding some unfortunate circumstances. As for the party life, it’s non existent unless you know people already....
