Admissions

Don't think any less of yourself for having to attend a community college and not a known 4-year school. I frowned upon the fact that I had to go here instead of a university, but after its all said and done, I was so thankful I made that decision! I received a great education that was extremely inexpensive and without much stress. This school is great about offering financial aid. It is a great place to get your education- affordable, well-rounded, stress-free! The knowledge I gained here is no less then what I would've earned at a university!

Check out the professors before you register. There are some absoulutely amazing teachers here, but one or two that you should avoid at all costs.

You dont have to be ranked No.1 in your class to be the top in class. Just Study hard (enough) and understand the course and you'll do fine. Dont over due yourself. Take 4 to 3 classes at first to prepare yourself then go crazy but becareful texas has a 3 drop limit.

Be sure to register for classes as early as possible--you'll get the pick of the best times and best classes.

Go here and get your basics out of the way before going to a university. You will have smaller class sizes but the teaching is the same quality. And you won't have to spend 500-700 dollars just for a basic english class.

My tips for prospective students are not to let the fact that it is a community college make you feel less of yourself for attending. Also, use the resources they give you to become a better student.

If you already know you want to go to a big university or the similar talk with them about taking classes at a community college and transferring as much as you can. You'll save so much money and work with smaller classes that can really benefit you.

Check out ratemyprofessor.com and check out the professors of your intended class before you pay for the class.

Be sure to attend new student orientation; the information you obtain is invaluable.
Go to class! It's amazing how many people do not attend class but expect good grades.
Get to know the professors. They are a fantastic bunch of people who will help you succeed in any way possible.

Many of the classes are transferable here so it would be a great start before going to a university. Going to the community college before a university is very helpful since you take the same prerequisite classes but for a much cheaper price!
