Samuel - 11/22/2024

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 - 10/27/2024

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 - 10/25/2024

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 - 10/18/2024

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.

  2. 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!!"

  7. 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.

  17. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    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.
