Ranger college is an above average school. The people there are great. It’s just the facilities. The school is old and there are t very many resosureces. But you can always count on a staff member to go out of there way to help. I don’t miss the place but I sure do miss the people. Some upgrades are needed on campus but staff and professors are great.

I definitely have learned so much from my professors but also from other staff members such as our janitors. Having conversations with them has given me a different view on life. Not rushing so much and just simply enjoying the journey and people I meet as well as interact with. Realizing that making mistakes is fine but learning from them is what will make me the best version of myself. Everyone has made me feel very welcomed and understand I have someone to talk to when things aren't going well.

ranger is very old school they teach us to become nurses with respect and loyalty. We are taught well and to be honest and trustworthy we dress neat and sharp and clean cut. We say yes maam and thank you. We have respect. When I say old school I mean the school has all the technology even tho they could use everything but when I say old school I mean how your mother and father would expect you to act back when nurses went strictly by a code and book. Thats how I am being taught and I respect it.

Ranger is a very good 2-year institution. The dorms are cute and roomy, the auditorium is brand new, and there are lots of opportunities to get involved. In the cafeteria, there is a brick pizza oven and an ice cream bar. Administration and professors are kind, caring, and more than willing to help the students.

Do NOT come here unless you have the financial backing of your parents. The finance office will flat out lie to you. The faculty doesn’t return calls and when they do they just give excuses for why they haven’t followed through with what they say they will do. Don’t expect your fasfa in a timely manner. If you need it to buy school clothes or a computer too bad. Ranger college is garbage and I will never return.

Ranger College in Stephenville is a very small college but it helps me interact more and gives us the help and attention that us as students need to pass and make good grades. It has a small coffee shop upfront and a donut shop for those who forget their breakfast at home. Ranger College is an excellent college and I am happy to go there.

Ranger college is located in Ranger, Texas, which doesn't have much of a nightlife (and is at least an hour's drive away from any) but the small-town atmosphere fosters a very down-to-earth staff and friendly locals. To compensate, there are college-hosted weekly activities such as game nights and talent shows. The professors are dedicated to their subjects and the smaller class sizes allow for more direct and versatile teaching methods. The beautifully redesigned cafeteria features a variety of delicious all-you-can-eat meals for under $10. The campus itself is rather plain looking but well maintained and is currently going through an ambitious remodel, which will improve the visuals drastically.

Ranger College is a good two-year college to start with; especially if you don't want to dive straight into a four-year university. The teachers at Ranger really want their student to succeed and they try to help as much as they can get students to achieve their goals.

Absolutely terrible place.
No academic integrity and no education going on. Old and dilapidated everything. Basketball is all that matters to administration, but then they get caught cheating (and trying to cover it up). Athletes can assault people and they look the other way or it gets covered up until it gets in the news. Not safe, and you'll learn nothing while here. Stay away.

I feel like they could do better as a school to help better their students. They are not prepared at all and do not get things done in a timely manner. I have had many thoughts of transferring colleges. The campus internet has been for 2 weeks which has not allowed the staff to do anything that they are suppose to be doing regarding the students funds! I feel like internet is an important part of a college and that they should have been on top of this issue within a few days.

For the most part, the professors here are great. They know what they are talking about and are willing to help you succeed to move on to bigger and better thing. But, the president is terrible. He and The Board of Regents are extremely corrupt. If you do not play mens' basketball, you are treated like a second hand citizens. The things that are done here are so bad I would not have enough space here to type it all. I would NOT recommend this school to anyone, even my worst enemy.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would tell myself to stay focused on my schoolwork and do not lead astray to the influences that friends can have on myself. Become active in student activities and look for any oppurtunities to broaden my view on my future goals. Never let anything throw myself off track and form a routine of good study habits. Keep in mind that the transition from Hgh School to college life will be difficult especially coming from a large city to a much smaller one. Have an open mind and allow yourself to meet people and listen to their advice. Remember that with a strong GPA and my personal qualities I will be allowed to pursue my dreams at a four year university. Never let myelf fail strictly because I have to much going for me to ruin it during this time of life. But most importantly, have fun. Win friends and influance people no matter where my journey takes me from here.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
Before coming to Ranger I would have like to have known more about the associates degrees offered on campus. This would have given me better understanding of how to manage my classes and set up my hours in regards to my major.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
The one on one communication that is directed from my professors. Each of my classes consists of 30 students or less. This is helpful for maximum understanding of the lessons and curriculum. They are always available for assistance in tutoring or anything else needed. A majority of them have been active on campus for over 15 years and have a firm understanding of their duties and are good role models.
All students must apply yearly for financial aid. This process starts with the FAFSA.
Though financial aid deadlines vary by school, it is a good idea to apply as soon as possible. For the upcoming school year, you can apply as early as October 1 for the FAFSA. Additional school aid will be dependent on the FAFSA results.
85% of students attending Ranger College receive some sort of financial aid.
52% were awarded federal grants.30%received federal loans. Many students do also need to apply for additional private student loans.
