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 626 reviews

Graduate Student: I had a pretty good experience here! There were some teachers within the nursing program who acted like they didn’t care, but there were far more who did! They helped motivate me and even talked me off the ledge when I was thinking about quitting! In my Final semester, I didn’t have any financial aid to pay my tuition, but with the help of my advisor and financial aid, which one of my instructors told me to do, I was able to find and apply for a scholarship and finish my degree! I take loved the fact that I didn’t have to enroll myself in my classes also, so I never had to guess on what to take, even before I was in my program! They took great care of me. No educational institution is perfect, but this one shows they care!... Read 1,174 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! Every week the college was always celebrating something.... Read 1,855 reviews

Freshman: This was completely new to me being that this was my first time attending college after being out of high school for 110 plus years, so you could imagine the anxiety I had once I decided to finally apply not knowing all that needed to be done. Everyone was very helpful with helping me get started and pointed me into the right direction where I needed to go or what I needed to do next. I was looking for a place where I needed to go and was confused on where to go so one of the employees was kind enough to stop what she was doing just to show me where exactly I needed to go. I really appreciated that! Another employee also helped me out because I was afraid I had missed the deadline to get help with my tuition for the Summer. I could find the link so she emailed it to me to try it and thankful I got the help I needed. If it wasn't for her help I probably wouldn't have been able to start school this Summer as planned. I can't wait to get my certification and excel in my career!... Read 166 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 3,293 reviews

Junior: Houston Community College is a good choice for starting an education into a career you are curious about. 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!...

Graduate Student: Grayson College is a great starter for new college students. The campus is beautiful, small, and easily navigated. The professors were caring, supportive, and involved to help students succeed. There is a great library with a writing center to help students improve their writing skills and essays for any course. The bookstore is small, but stocked with everything a student would need. Admissions, financial aid, and the career coaches knew their roles and responsibilities which made them able to help students without confusion and stress. Also want to note that there is a Veteran's lounge for service members and their dependents. It is a small, but welcoming area that allows students to print, use computers, and study. To point out the missing star, the cafeteria and student life were not highly frequented by myself. Therefore to approve a 5-star rating without proper opinions on those services is not helpful. In addition, there should be more inclusion and diversity on campus.... Read 361 reviews

Other: Matthew McConaughey hosted a live event in April where he asked “what are the monsters under your bed?” Monsters under your bed are those things that keep you comfortable in your bed and asleep like you’re supposed to be but they also hold you back. DEFEAT every monster you have under your bed and maintain motivation to be the better version of yourself. CHCP, from instructors to your fellow classmates, offer encouragement and guidance. I receive calls from the wonderful staff at CHCP just checking in to see if I need additional support. There are so many resources and opportunities here. I hope everybody conquers the monsters under their bed cuz here you most certainly can! Thank you to all the amazing staff I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so far: Evan, Harold at northwest in Houston and all my amazing motivators in San Antonio. I buried my father during the first week of my first semester and NOW only a year and a half later, I’m working on my bachelor’s! All gas no breaks baby!... Read 97 reviews

Freshman: As I'm approaching my senior mode, and will be graduating before the month of this summer. The College of Health Care Professions has given me a lot of insight into the medical field as a future medical assistant. It has shown me tasks and accomplishments that I'll have to face in the real world. It has honestly been an amazing experience getting to do hands-on things with actual medical equipment that I will use in hospitals or clinics and in general communicating with other peers to get a general idea when dealing with actual patients. I'll take all the knowledge and skills with me to my pre-med undergraduate to succeed in my later goals in life and will soon take on helping people who are in need of help to gain more entail of the human body and people in general....

Alum: loved it. It is a fun experience to learn new things you didn't know before, also they have plenty of programs to offer so you won't have to be confused or discouraged about picking what you wanna do because there are plenty of options to choose from. They also are able to work around your schedule so they are very flexible when it comes to your work life or even your parenting life if you have children or if you take care of someone they are able to fit the classes into your schedule. Plus you would only attend class 2 days out of the week, so that's a plus.... Read 3 reviews

Alum: I came here to obtain my Associates Degree in 2018. This is one of the best continuing education schools I have been to. Very helpful staff, from the front desk, admissions, financial aid and the instructors. Being able to do blended learning is amazing from some on campus classes to online classes everything flowed so smoothly. I graduated in 2019 because I had credits that transferred from my old school. I loved it so much here that I have signed up to obtain my Bachelors Degree which is fully online. Although if I need help I can go to my regular campus and speak with career services or any other department and I will do everything they can to help me.
