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!

I love being able to come on campus for class then leave in my own car and go wherever I wish.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
TCC's tuition is very affordable! They make paying tuition a breeze by offering scholarships, loans, and payment options.

Get involved on campus, though it seems difficult. Join a club or Honor Society or start your own club. Do not be ashamed for being a student at a community college, in the end you will not have near as many student loans as the other four year university grads!

TCC is great for students who prefer living at home while attending college or students that have families to raise and jobs to work. TCC is another tract that students can take in finishing their degrees, TCC offers so many different class times and locations, making it easier for busy students.
