Honestly, I have lived in Tarrant County my whole life which is 29 years. Let's start with the good. We have a lots of restaurants, parks, bars, churches, shopping malls, and entertainment in Tarrant. There's always something to do here. People who say otherwise, are nuts. There's also lots of job opportunities here. You shouldn't ever find an issue finding a job. Everyone's hiring here pretty much. The other good is the cost of living here isn't terrible (yet). So food and your other regular supplies are somewhat reasonable.
Now the bad. It's getting too crowded here. I can definitely tell there was a difference in population about 15 years ago. I don't have an issue with people finding a new place to live personally, but I have a problem with it resulting in traffic congestion, jacking up real estate, and property taxes. It's for sure not the same here like it used to be. Crime isn't too bad. Just depends on where you live like in most counties in the States.

I love to hang out with my friends and family all over Tarrant county. A done side is that Tarrant count is that there is very limited public areas that are accessible without having a car. Lots of places to eat and have fun but limited sidewalks unless you're downtown or just around 7th street. The people in my life make Tarrnat county livable.
I've currently attend TCC, and in the kinesiolgy program. The school is very supportive with many resources to help students in the classroom and outside. The professors and staff are wonderful and understanding and try to help in any way they can. I attend the northeast campus. I have nothing bad to say about TCC.
