Katie
Tarrant County College is a great school with kind students and supportive professors. The students who I have met here are easy to talk to and extremely intelligent; for example, in my Speech class, the girls I have met there are so sweet, hardworking, and fun to talk to. The majority of my professors are easy to reach, and extremely skilled at their craft; my math professor, Professor Kojouharov, has been so supportive of my goals and her teaching style makes all these overwhelming concepts so simple. One downside is the housing, because there is no on campus housing options for students. As for off campus housing, the school does not seem to promote it if there is any, but I do know they offer resources to finding affordable living spaces. TCC offers many club options, and there is something for everybody. While we don't have sports teams, we do have clubs of all sorts from chess to math to anime. Overall, I have really enjoyed my time here at TCC.
Emma
My opinion on Tarrant County College is that I feel like it is a great school to start off your college career. Everyone is friendly and it is a good environment. You can always get involved in activities on campus, there is a gym, there are sports events, and there are always events to attend on campus during the school day. I like attending this college because it was an amazing start for my college career so that I could transfer into a bigger college.
Edwin
My opinion of Tarrant County College District is students should go if they want to knock out some classes before transferring to a university for those wanting to save some money. Specifically, I attend the Northeast campus, where I am in the dental hygiene pathway, a pathway this specific college offers. The college offers scholarships, but it is during the Spring.
Samuel
I think it is a decent school there is not much bad, I would say it is mostly good and there is always people trying to help for those who need it and the professors are also caring for the students. There are plenty of resources available to be able to help you and succeed in your classes. But some of the classes the professors cannot grab the teachers attention as they just seem to talk and talk.
Christina
It is the best school to go to. It is clean and safe, easy to find classes. They are very helpful in any area that a person needs help.with. The professors are always helpful and open when they are needed. The class rooms are spacious and always clean.
Samantha
I think Tarrant County College is a good school for a Community College but if you are there for reasons besides saving money and education there isn't much too due in my opinion but they do have good facilities like a library and gym, but they are smaller which is expected for a community college.
Katelynn
it is an overall friendly place with nice students and teachers, The teachers I have met there are so kind and I am appreciative of there classes and who they are While there are some teachers who are not so kind, most are incredible and they offer many many clubs you always have a place where you can find how you want to fit in or stand out. The students are so diverse, from different countries, to different members of LGBT people who are always accepting of each other which is sweet. The school overall I would say is a LGBT safe place. It is greats for a variety of reasons. As well as the one where as if you graduate from a birdville school the school district I think you can apply and be guaranteed to get one free year at the school. They also have a early college high school program with haltom high school that I attend, my complains about that is the send the worst teacher we have not had very kind teachers from TCC given to us. My US history teacher was fired and his replacement quite before he even meet us. So sadly we end up in situation were no work can be done. It is intense.
Mariela
It's a pretty diverse campus with plenty of people to meet, and several spread throughout Tarrant County. Having attended the Northwest campus, I can vouch for the school that there's never a lack of social events for students to partake in, and lots of engaging teachers willing to help out academically struggling students. Some classes may be hard, but overall none of them are impossible - you will always find someone in the same boat as you and will be willing to work together. It's pretty cheap for a public community college as well, but no on-campus housing available - it's a pretty good deal for people looking to get a feel of casual college life while still having time to enjoy their personal life. Definitely recommend.
Joseph
TCC is a good college for beginning your higher learning. It is affordable and there are great professors on campus who want you to succeed. There are good facilities on campus to help you on your journey, such as the math lab, writing lab, SI sessions, and the library's resources.
Benjamin
It's pretty decent. Cheap, several campuses, and the professors have been mostly good. Not much to say about it. There's not much to say, they've got STI testing, blood donations, and other stuff like that pretty often, there's a food bank, and some clubs, and the academics is pretty good overall.
Farrah
Tarrant County College was not my first choice. I chose this college because it is local and on the cheaper side. This college offers a program, where a high school student can get their high school diploma and associate degree. I will not be getting my bachelor's degree from here. I will be going to a 4-year college for that. I would recommend this college for someone who is looking for a good deal and not to make connections with others.
Brendon
I think the Tarrant county college district is strictly a commuter school that offers little campus life due to it's student behavioral culture and demographics. I would say they try to hold school spirit events through food and interactive events, although the turn up majority is low. I go there because it is cheap and affordable to attend and receive on par education with other institutions that offer the same 2 year degree plan.

Joshua
Tarrant County College is a very good community college, especially when it comes to getting your credits and getting set up for transfer. There are many resources to aid students in any endeavors, from therapy to transportation. In addition to that, there is also a wide selection of libraries online, all of which that help each other, and the student-driven cafe is surprisingly tasty and has a good variety of drinks and food.
Amy
It is a nice campus with easy to reach professors. I am a high school student taking duel credit courses here at TCC. I first started coming here in 2020 during the lockdown. At the time, all classes were online. But even then, professors were easy to reach and always available if you ever needed anything. The people here are welcoming and very diverse. I see people of all ages, races, and religions in my classes and all around campus.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Tarrant County College District is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.
What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
When I entered highschool, I heard all of the warnings of how difficult it would be ringing in my head over and over. However, high school was not very difficult to me; I even graduated Cum Laude. So naturally, as time to go off to college approached, I took the many warnings of how tough and stressful it would be and let them go in one ear and out the other! Well what I should have done was listen to those warnings! If I was able to go back and talk to Aubrei in highschool and tell myself the things I know now, I would make sure I knew that in college, depend on only YOURSELF!! NOBODY is going to hold your hand. You have to take it upon YOURSELF to get your assignments, know the material, and not to mention supply your own EVERYTHING and ALWAYS have it with you!! Your professors only say things ONCE; get it then or never! Be on time, be respectful, and follow rules. Most importantly I NEEDED to know: Set aside time to acually DO homework and STUDY!! There's NO COPYING!! "PROCRASTINATE" can no longer be my "middle name!!"
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
Sometimes I get a professor that is not organized enough to be teaching an online course. Thier classes are difficult to navigate and the professor is hard to get in touch with. This has happened with 2 professors already in my time here.
The small classrooms, one on one teaching is really what TCC is known for. The classrooms are small enough to where you can also make new friends and to where you can hear the teacher and ask questions.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish I would have known that a college requires most of your time if you are a full time student. Also, it would have been nice to know that I would have had a son within the next two years. TCC is a great school and I have not been upset with any member of their faculty. I do however, wish I would have known more about Financial Aid and Scholarships.
The teachers are teaching there because they want to, not like professors at larger universities who are trying to get credit. Also, the tuition is much lower so it is easier for me to pay my way through while working part time.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
I love the science labs and classes at this school. I have learned so much , and have been motivated to dig deep when things get hard. My instructors are availible and correspond with me in a consistant manner. I have made friends with people in my study groups, and I love the way we stay on topic. If there are topics I am unsure of I know I can always get the help I need.
Tarrant County College is about as good as any other the two year institutions. The classes and instructors ,like anywhere, some are better than others. With the distance learning classes, You must do a lot of outside research on your own. I have learned quite a lot about the subjects I have taken, but often not with the help of the instructor. The curriculum is good for the basic courses and gets you in the door for a four year university. The financial aid office is not always as helpful as they could be. Research your information with FAFSA and any other scholarship organizations on your own. And it is your responsibility to be sure you have all the required paper work to the correct offices at the school to get things done. Some times you may just need to go by e-mail early to avoid problems. The counselors are required but not always interested in what you want. Be sure to stand up for your desires in your education , they are just filling classes and degree programs.
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.
70% of students attending Tarrant County College District receive some sort of financial aid.
53% were awarded federal grants.13%received federal loans. Many students do also need to apply for additional private student loans.
