Review of Tyler Junior College

from Sunnyvale, TX

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Tyler Junior College is one of the top junior colleges in the nation. For the most part the faculty is always very helpful and qualified. They offer classes in the classroom, online, and even via satellite. There is also an honors program at the school.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The thing that makes this two year school special is how it truly feels like a four year university. There are dozens of sports teams, clubs, and organizations on campus that help the campus to have a community feel. Also the campus has on campus housing for out of town students and the dorms are extremely nice. The new Ornelas complex feels like a hotel complete with deli, computer room, media room, flat screen TVs in the main lobby, game room, conference rooms, each room has its own bathroom, courtyard, and it is only a few years old.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Being a junior college this school is a great way to get ones core classes out of the way for less money than it would cost at a university. The credits at this school also easily transfer to four year universities.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get involved as much as you can. There are many organizations on campus including sports teams, the Apache Belles drill team, national champion boys and girls soccer team, religious organizations, Phi Theta Kappa honor society, band, and many other opportunities.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This is great for those who wish to transfer to a four year university, anyone who wants to earn an associates degree, anyone who is looking for a certain type of certification, nursing majors, or anyone who wants to further their education.
