El Centro College of Dallas College provides a sound education for low tuition. Its downtown Dallas location offers a world of diverse programs, modern facilities, and a courteous staff to meet student needs, whether the student wants career-focused learning or to transfer to a university.

As an early college high school student, I feel privileged to be able to attend such a culturally diverse and socially involved school, as well as to get such an advanced education at such a young age.

My specific campus is Richland. It’s a very neat and nice campus and diverse community. There’s several activities happening at the campus or virtually for students to attend which makes it more enjoyable. One thing that should be considered is if a student is In line and there’s no one else waiting to take the student instead of having them sign in when no one else is around waiting.

I attended due to how cheap a semester would cost me compared to a university, however, I wished I had received guidance and clarification when I was applying for my major. I was trying to do the smart thing and attend college, complete my basic courses and transfer to a university to save myself two years of debt. However, it was never mentioned to me that the specific classes taking for interior design do not transfer to other universities. I think that if someone is applying, they should be asked if they are planning on transferring to a university after so that they can make smarter decisions before spending 2 years there and taking classes that don't transfer. It's a great school with amazing professors, but I would recommend just taking the basic core classes and not attempt to start your major there.

I was a former student, It was great for a community college. There are many opportunities you can try but that was limited for my case since I was an Early College Student, still I had a blast attending class. I'm thankful of the time I spent there, I love El Centro, now called Dallas College.

I was a dual credit student there for about two years and I absolutely love it . The staff and students are super supportive and talkative which is very nice when attending college for the first time . El Centro offers plenty of help whether it’s finding a major that suits you, to personal life such as jobs/internships . They also have a gym which is free to all students so that’s a bonus .

My collage is a wonderful place to go if you are returning back to school after a long time, if your going to school for the first and have no ideal what you wish to do with your life. I am 30 years old going back to school after being out for thirteen years, I was helped every step of the way. They helped me come up with a class plan for this year and even helped me map out a road to transfer to the collage of my choice to continue on to receive my bachelors degree.

El centro is a place where you really feel at home because in most classes you see your professor everyday meaning you are able to get that one on one time that you may need. There is even a chance to actually meet with the professor before or after class. The Professor's there are always concerned about the learning experience making sure everyone is having the necessary tools.

Excellent school. Disability services need some work, but our Legal Professions Department is excellent. Professors like Cuevas, Espinoza... the best! Specially Cuevas: professional, smart, thoughtful, caring: she walks on water to me! Prof. Espinoza responsive to student’s needs.

I am very pleased with my college. The Professors are excellent, professional, caring, and fair. I feel they are truly preparing me for the real world. Every time I have moved up from a lower class into a higher class I have felt well prepared. In the beginning I was intimidated, but my professors are excellent in many ways.

I have always dreamed of attending this school. They have amazing resources for different groups and work fields. I felt very comfortable and supported with the faculty staff and they are welcoming and professional. Even though I am enrolling for off campus classes, my on campus experience every time I am there is great.

My opinion on El Centro College is that it is a great school. The two years that I have attended have been amazing. All of my professor and advisors were always so attentive and helpful when it came to my misunderstandings. I am glad that I will be graduating from there next week!

Acknowledged. Academic. Acceptable. El Centro is a community college located in the heart of Dallas, TX whose doors are opened to welcome all students from all of over the world. In addition, the professors are open-minded, engaging, and caring to every single student either inside or outside the classroom. There's also accessible transportation, a variety of shops, museums, and parks. Also a lot of security guards inside the building who's priority is to make sure that every student is safe in campus. No crime, violence, or alcoholism allowed inside or outside the campus. Mostly of the students are independent and their conversations are about college work; projects, tests, and homework, etc. On the other hand, this community college does not provide on-campus housing but they do serve the best food in town from the greatest chef's of all time! In sports, especially in basketball, our mascot is the roadrunner. Moreover, there is a unity between the staff, students and teachers of working together and progressing every day. El Centro College is a place where everyone is accepted and be successful in the future.

El Centro College provided an accessible environment for all students regardless of background. The professors are mostly accessible and ready to answer all questions through email. The campus is clean and safe. The area immediately surrounding the campus however, is not as safe.
