Categories Comments Great for these types of students The good thing about attending Wharton County Junior College is that no matter if your nervous about certain classes there are many people feeling the same way. People attending WCJC are so nice and friendly that anyone can make friends so that classes and the year will go by super fast. The professors that I have had so far have been extremely helpful with teaching their material. I would recommend anyone to attend Wharton County Junior College it truly is a great college to start out with. I know that I love attending WCJC!
Tips for prospective students Attending Wharton County Junior College for my first college is not too expensive. I think that attending WCJC for someones first year of college is good for who ever is paying for your college.
Am enjoying being here The environment in Wharton County Junior College is good. I would say that every teacher or anyone that I saw walking down the hall ways were all very nice. I wouldn't have anything bad to say about attending Wharton. I didn't live in Wharton but just taking the classes were OK. The college is quite small so no one can really get lost there that is the best part!
Am learning a lot I am currently attending Wharton County Junior College and I learned so much from my professors. All of my professors were willing to help me understand the material no matter if they had to repeat it until I understood it. The professors were all really great, I can say that I learned and still remember everything.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students wonderful for nurses.
Bang for the buck a good price for a community college.
Food and Dining an in-store place in the school provides easy snacks between classes.
Academic Rigor reasonable work load and a wonderful tutoring program.
Tips for prospective students the workload is a bit more than high school, but not as overwhelming as other places, so be prepared. also, help is always available for those who ask.
In three sentences this junior college is a wonderful experience for students who are just coming from high school or people who are wishing to continue there education. the environment gives you a feel of being in a main college campus classroom, but the ability to talk to the teacher one on one if you are struggling. they also offer wonderful services to help tutor students who are struggling with several classes free of cost, providing an excellent service of help if a student needs it.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Great for all students!
Tips for prospective students This is a great place to go if you want to get classes done (and cheap) before going to a 4 year university. Talk to the other students about which professors you should take classes from; students are very willing to give advice and it helps!
Bang for the buck This is so much cheaper than a university and it's a good school!
Am enjoying being here I go to the WCJC extension at the technical center. Both the students, the staff, and the professors are very nice. Everyone is extremely helpful. It's a good environment.
Am learning a lot Even though it's a community college, I have learned a lot because the class room size is small and the professors (that I've had and many of the ones I've heard about) really care about teaching you.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Great for EVERYONE.
Tips for prospective students WCJC is a good start for college and with the friendly environment, there should be no worries about being able to fit in.
Bang for the buck Although Wharton isn't as expensive universities, it is pricey for a junior college.
Am enjoying being here Everyone--including staff and students are pretty friendly which makes the environment more relaxed and easier to fit in.
Am learning a lot Every instructor I had definitely knows the material they are teaching very well. I've learned quite a lot in various subjects and my notebooks are usually filled up by the end of the semester. Most of the instructors are very friendly and are more than willing to help if you are confused or need a better understanding of the material.

Categories Comments Food and Dining The meal plan takes the pressure off having to forage for food, giving students more time to study. The nutrition is also well balance in the daily menu to emphasis students' health.
Dorm Life I am living in an apartment near by the college but it feel the same way as I live in college dorm as it is near like dorm. Students living on campus perform better academically than those who live off campus. Perhaps it�¢�?�?s because students living in dorms are closer to the things they need, like the library and the computer labs. Girls and guys sharing walls in the dorm but not rooms. Study partners floating around the hallways or energetically highlighting their textbooks in the study lounge that encourage other students to study.
Academic Rigor A rigorous academic curriculum is indispensable for all students. Students who take high-level courses in high school are more likely to enroll in and complete a bachelor's degree program. Teachers expose students to more in-depth content in key subject areas by including multiple examples to reinforce major concepts and replacing superficial coverage of multiple topical areas with in-depth coverage of fewer topics. This way students have critical thinking of that topic and understand what is the key for that topic.
Tips for prospective students I think the students do not have to satisfy to just get in the program, but instead they have to fill that now they are standing on a battle field. Students should catch each word that comes out from your instructors mouth. Prospective students should have their own calender that shows that all tests dates and their normal routine work like doctors appointments, family events, dates for conferences etc. After the end of the day at school students should review that topics those discuss in the class. They should make a study group so if one student miss something then other student may have that.
In three sentences Wharton County Junior College is the college that I want to attend for my Nursing. At the first day of the class I saw that I really choose the right college for Nursing. I feel that all instructors of the college are working very hard for the success of their students.

Categories Comments Food and Dining You may go anywhere to the surroundings area to get a bite to eat or hang out. There is a lobby where you could relax and have fun with your friends or catch up on work. The food is great and you have many choices to pick from and of course there is a vending machine if you feel like the food isn't working for you.
Dorm Life The dorms are great but i personally would rather and drive to and from school since I have two jobs. But it's very quick to make friends and the environment is great.
Academic Rigor The academic classes are great and so are the professors.
Tips for prospective students Make sure that you have your schedule ready for when school comes up and when it comes to buying books it is better to save money and see what you could find on the Internet.
In three sentences I get great advices from the professors and knowing that there is a small class you have every opportunity to talk face to face about any problems you would be having with homework. The campus is great if you want to quickly get around and won't feel like you are too crowded. Most of all the great service that the employees give to the students.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There's security and cameras and a lot of people, it's safe.
Greek Life There is one, however I do not remember the name.
Clubs and Activities Not many clubs, there was only one Club Day and after that I saw no bulletin boards for clubs.
Great for these types of students People not ready to move out of their parent's house, or people just starting to go to college as adults.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are none sadly, pretty bland.
Bang for the buck If you live in the Sugar Land area go here!!! If you don't want to go anywhere else.
What to do for fun Going to the computer lab is nice, you can surf the web, study and so much more.
Food and Dining There's food available here but it's very overpriced.
Dorm Life No dorms here at the Sugar Land Campus.
Academic Rigor Just because it's a junior college doesn't mean it's easy, you must always make sure to study everyday!
Tips for prospective students Before you decide to become apart of this Junior College make sure that this is what you truly want because this school specializes in nursing. I would suggest you start studying very hard for the SAT and ACT, don't waste your time. A lot of schools offer full scholarships just for passing these tests!
In three sentences When I walk into the Sugar Land campus for Wharton County Junior College I see students ready to learn which in turn makes the experience a great one. There are great professors there and interesting people there as well. If I went to any other junior college I would choose this one all over again.

Categories Comments Food and Dining It's basic cafeteria food served in the Cafe. Dining around town includes Jack in the Box, Subway and Whataburger.
Dorm Life Dorm life is unexciting and a bit run down. It's located in a tiny town with a few restaurants and an HEB. Your rooms are close to the building, though, so you can usually get to class on time if you plan correctly.
Academic Rigor It isn't exactly Ivy League - it's a junior college, a stepping stone to your next stage in life. But usually the people in your classes aren't there because they enjoy it - they need it. So there isn't much messing around academically speaking. Most people are motivated to do well.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you keep every document, email or otherwise, that the school sends you. Always (ALWAYS!) go to class, or you could miss something very important, such as a test or quiz date. Be respectful, take notes, keep your phone in your backpack, show up on time. Don't take your education for granted.
In three sentences WCJC is not a place you attend to have your typical college experience. If you need a degree and classes that work around your schedule, then this college is perfect for you. The atmosphere, although not exactly a festive one, is productive and motivates you to reach your academic goal as quickly and effectively as possible.

Dorm Life I live off campus so I am not sure what dorm like is like.
Academic Rigor It may not always be easy, but keep going with your education.
Tips for prospective students I would suggest to keep all your grades up and make sure you are able to complete your classes. Also make sure that you go to your classes and do not get off track.
In three sentences I am enrolled in the Sugarland Campus and it is a very nice campus. I have meet lots of interesting people and they offer a variety of times for their classes. I have even been able to get ahead by taking a Mini-Semester online over the holidays.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities I have not heard of many clubs or activities here.

What to do for fun There are not many thing to do for fun in Wharton, although the baseball and volleyball games are relatively cheap here.
Food and Dining There are a couple of places where you can get a meal around here.

In three sentences I believe it is a great school to began a start on your secondary education. It is small yet bigger than the high school I graduated from. I also like the idea of being able to talk to your professors outside of the classroom.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities The baseball, volleyball, and rodeo teams are awesome to watch. Great for the bug sport fans!

Tips for prospective students Don't apply to many classes, because then you wont be able to handle it. Pretty much don't over do it. Pick your classes according to your work schedule and the amount of free time you have after.
In three sentences This college is easy to get around from. The teachers are excellent and you save a good amount of money from the classes you apply for. I recommend this college to anyone nearby, it will save you money!

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety is there if you need them but its a very safe surrounding so you most likely will not ever need them. I only needed them once and that was to get into my car after I got locked out of it.
Clubs and Activities There are a lot of clubs on campus. I did not participate in any of the clubs because I did not have an interest in any of them.
Bang for the buck Great starter school for people trying to save money.
Food and Dining Campus food isn't very good but the restaurant around the campus make up for it.
Dorm Life I only lived on the dorms for one semester. The RA's are awesome and the rooms are easy to clean but it's hard to share such a tiny room with someone you don't know too well.
Academic Rigor I have loved all of my professors so far. They actually take the time to help you but you have to ask for help. Most of the teachers I have had are easy on you when you have weird schedules or if emergencies happen.

Food and Dining I did not eat while at the campus.
Dorm Life I did not live in a dorm.
Academic Rigor I didn't face any rigor from the college itself, only myself.
Tips for prospective students Don't be afraid to interact with other students or faculty members.
In three sentences The atmosphere is filled with vibrant people and different personalities. The classes size can vary based on what your personal choices are. The professors are all there to help you out, and if there is something you don't understand then make sure to either ask during class or seek them out during the hours that they are open.
