Tarrant County College Reviews
Rating 3.99 out of 5 3,294 reviews
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!

I chose Tarrant County College because of its affordability and because its locations are all within reasonable distance from my home. The service offices all have friendly staff who want to help you. Most of them can also explain in detailed depth what you need, where to get it from, why you need it, who to go to, and how to get there. Once you're enrolled, there are so many services available to help you if you're in need: counseling, food pantries, the school has its own selection of scholarships, community resources, and more. All this being said, TCC does need improvement on some things.
My main gripe is while they do offer a wide selection of degrees and classes, not all of these classes are available at every campus. You can do a basic in-person course in one campus, but end up needing to drive or take the bus across town for the next class. I'd say make sure to register early, and pay attention to which campus your degree says you're expected to graduate from!

Jokes about a school’s cafeteria food run rampant, but not every college has bad food! Whether the meals consist of healthy options served in an “all you can eat” type of setting, or everyone gets one meal of their choice from a select number of options, spending time with their fellow students in the cafeteria is a crucial part of college life – almost as important as living in a dorm.
