I would like to emphasize that the facility is full of hardworking staff, and I'm amazed by how positive of an environment it is. All of my prior teachers have been quite helpful, and I have only had excellent experiences with them. Many of the instructors give clear instructions, and the lectures are both equally informative and thorough. I appreciate how many teachers prioritize their students by not overloading them, and how many are very flexible with deadlines and find methods to work and accommodate their students' needs.
I have little bad things to say about Southwest Texas Junior College! I was a dual credit student through high school then an on-campus student for the past two years as I complete my dual Associate degrees, there has ever been a bad experience to put me off. There are student-oriented clubs to select from, all active and engaging in their own right, and a variety of degree plans fitting for individuals choosing to stay local or transferring to a larger school.
Enrichment is average with a student lounge with an active and engaging staff. There is a gym for all students to utilize, open at fair hours, as well. Dorm life fairs similarly, with nice dorms (if you keep them clean) and active resident assistants willing to help when on duty.
Overall, I would recommend SWTJC to any student wanting to attend a junior college in the Southwest Texas area - with campuses in six different SWT cities for long-distance and in-person learning.

For the most part this community college is pretty good. From my experience I would say that the most frustrating thing about this college is their advisors/ counselors, they really do not help you. They expect you to know what you want and what you are doing when they do not even know what they are doing themselves. Some of them do not even know their own policies or how the system works. However, I can only speak from my personal experience and the people that I have dealt with. Another thing that I do not like are the library hours, I wish they were open past 9pm, that is all.
