Overview of Tyler Junior College

Tyler Junior College has so many clubs and organizations that it's easy to find people who you can enjoy being with.

I enjoy it here. It has a lot of activiities going on through out the school year, which makes going there nice because the activities are only for TJC students.

I am highly involved on the campus, I was secretary on student senate my freshman year. All summer and this year I have been Phi Theta Kappa VP of leadership, I have had some of the best experiences because I got involved on campus and have loved every minute of it. I work on campus in the student life office and am always around to help. I love this campus.

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.

Actually, I live at home, and have had to attend classes for only two semesters and this summer to complete the core curriculum I need to begin as a junior at a 4 yr. university. My goal is to finish my undergraduate classes and go on to an occupational therapy program. Thus, I chose not to spend much time enjoying campus life. I also had a job and family responsibilities. The setting is familiar and beautiful, stately brick buildings on an established property, covered with trees. It was easy to get around and find my way to on campus classes. Staff was helpful when needed.
