Central Texas College is a great educationa institution for students who want to get basic courses done for the most affordable tuition prices in the U.S. Most of the instructors I have had are great and are more than willing to give helpful advice and assistance for those who want to excel in their classes. Central Texas College also provides great opportunities to those who are looking to advance their careers though their wide range of associate degree plans from Business to Afgricultire to Culinary Arts!

Rateyourprofessor.com is a great resource to use for Central Texas College to choose the best classes with the best instructors.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Most of the class I have taken are basic math, history, and english classes. Community colle or not it isn't high school they expect you to be responsible for your own work but besides that the classes are not that much harder from high school as long as you study read and prepare in adcanced to your exams!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
They are on of the few community colleges to offer dorms. I live right next to the college and do not dorm from what I've heard the dorms are pretty comfortable and some dorm rooms you don't even have a roommate. The dorms are right next to the campus which is great. The only thing you have to worry about is the cost but compared to 4 year University dorms it is pretty afforadable and comes with a meal plan.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food and Dining is excellent for those who dorm and do not dorm. There is a dining place and a snack bar both serve sandwhiches, burgers, and pizza. The actual dining bar has more options than the snack bar and offers more of a diverse set of food from fried rice to pasta salad! The dining is okay there is lots of places to sit it is pretty clean it just gets crowded during lunch, but there is tons of seating outside that are just as great!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There isn't much of a student life because it is a community college and most students commute, but there are tons of clubs that you can join! I am a part of the Speech and Debate Team and we travel and the school pays for most of it! You can also create a club and the school can help you fund it if you would like which is great too!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For one year (two semesters) I am paying about $1,500 dollars for tuittion and books! Which is really affordable considering all my classes are are transferable (just make sure you see if they are before you register!).
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
You can buy a brick with your name engraved on it and it gets built in to the campus for $60. The dining hall is a great place to socialize I made tons of friends randomly just by sitting down and eating there. People are super nice and friendly!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The college is great for people who want to transfer but get their coure classes completed first.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
They have a wide range of clubs from Speech & Debate to Student Government to the Agricultural Club! You can even create your own club!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Unfortunately the down side is that there is no college fraternities or sororities because it is a community college and a commuter campus.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus Saftey is great they have their own campus police that is extremely helpful and you can find them everywhere you go in case of an emergency!
