How are you enjoying your time at this college?
I really enjoy going to college here. I’m part of the RELLIS program and the facilities are amazing as well as the teachers.
What tips can you share with prospective students?
As with everywhere, some professors are better at teaching than others. But with buc books we have all the information in the textbooks and usually the professors give you other resources as well. I definitely recommend looking at them.
How would you describe the dorm life at this school?
I am at the Rellis campus. There are no dorms on campus, but there’s plenty of student housing in the areas around it. The prices very, but you’ll definitely be able to find something in your budget.

Am learning a lot | |
Am enjoying being here | Blinn College is a smaller school, so it was a nice transition from my small high school. |
Bang for the buck | Blinn is not very expensive and offers a lot of financial aid and services. I found the student center to be very helpful. |
Tips for prospective students | Although Blinn is a community college, the courses that I have taken have proven to be quite rigorous. They adequately prepare you for the university you would like to attend. Blinn College also has a great dental hygiene program. |
Great for these types of students | If you love a conservative and calm atmosphere, Blinn is a great place to go. Also, students who want to attend Texas A&M University usually attend Blinn for one or two years. Blinn has the highest transfer rate to A&M. In fact, many of the professors at Blinn also teach courses at the A&M campus. It is a cheaper path to get some of the prerequisite courses out of the way before one is to pay the high tuition of Texas A&M University |

In three sentences | In attending Blinn over the summer, my eyes have been opened to new things I could never had imagined. The great atmosphere is so quiet. The great environment is so homey, where I could just relax in the sun, and actually enjoy college. |
Tips for prospective students | Be careful who you pick as dorm buddies. You can always change out but do it first hand before they get there! Also do not complain about your teacher. She's there to teach not to hear you preach! |
Academic Rigor | The professors, I can not even explain how much great inspiration they have made in my life over the summer. Thanks to these professors, I have been able to succeed and strive for A's. |
Dorm Life | Its a little noisy, but all in all; Its a great place to relax and escape. Going to the lounge is a great place to relax, its soothing and calm. |
Food and Dining | The food is absolutely amazing! Its my lunch and dinner, The Cove is where everyone goes! Best place to eat, but if you want cafeteria food its good too. So Homey makes you feel at home! |
What to do for fun | For fun, we always go to the movies. Since its right down the street, its not too far away and we can always get back to the dorm on time! |
Bang for the buck | I'd say yes, because yes, it is a community college, and yes. You are going to a smaller school so you do get more and or better privileges. |
Great for these types of students | Anybody wanting to be an athletic, musician, theatre, or even band kid this is the place! |
Clubs and Activities | Theatre is where its at hopefully I can look into it! But new clubs are also on my list! |
Campus Safety | There are police cars always on patrol, also there are people walking the streets checking to make sure that people have there stickers out on there cars for parking passes. |

I also learned a great deal about the nations that surround us through my World Geography class. During our class discussions, we would discuss current events.
I learned more in these classes than I ever learned from watching the repetitive news on t.v.
