Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

REVIEWS

Read What Students Are Saying
Although Tarrant County College is just a community college it offers classes that have a more rigorous course load like that of one in a major university. I am glad I came to this school before transferring out to a larger university because I feel more prepared and am ready for anything.
Devin from Keller, TX
When I first contemplated attending Tarrant County College, I was influenced by university students' negative comments about community colleges. With that retrospect, I registered for classes last fall. To my surprise, the professors at TCC were helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Though they had doctorate degrees, they did not treat you like an average dumb student. Although TCC is not a major university, they still have many student organizations and a few Honor Societies. Community College students do need to get involved on their campuses, it helps the major universities get to know who they are; grades are just as important too! Attending a community college is a great way to prove to a four year university that you are serious and focused on your college education. Attend every class, make good grades, and become acquainted with your professors, you will need letters of recommendation. Tarrant County College is a place where people of all ages can come together and learn, do not be persuaded by others not to attend, it is a very good step towards finishing your degree at a major university!
Alyssa from Burleson, TX
All of my classes provide me lots of supportive information. I learned how to manage time and finish project on time. It's not about who's smarter, it's about timing and follow instruction.
Anh from Arlington, TX
The teachers there love what they are doing. They challenge their students to do their best. I have gotten interested in different areas that I never thought about before because of the professors.
Kaelene from Justin, TX
I cannot believe how interested my teachers have me in their classes. I used to hate government in high school and now it's my favorite class! The learning is on a deeper level, it's not just about memorizing facts anymore. The work keeps me challenged and I know I will be prepared when I transfer to a 4 year university.
Ann from Dallas, Tx
if you like smaller classrooms where you and the teacher can communicate on a regular basis, then this is the school for you. it was really easy for me to get help when i needed it right away from the teacher.
Mary from Arlington, TX
Tarrant County College provides outstanding education, training, and resources for students to develop leadership skill sets for student achievement. As a student I highly recommend future students to commit their hard work ethics into the academics of Tarrant County College because of their environment and their dedication in educating students for success and social change. Students will gain the unimaginable and will feel involved throughout the entire year due to their focus on student success and advancing students to the next level.
