    Navarro College inspires growth.
    With Navarro, paying for education is affordable.
    Navarro College cares about your education and success.
    Tips for prospective students

    Tips for those looking into attending Navarro College would be this:
    Get to know your instructors by visiting them during office hours and do not be afraid to ask them for advice or help, connect with your classmates, and lastly, involve yourself in the numerous clubs and activities Navarro has to offer.
    Academic Rigor

    Academic success is important to the instructors here. If one needs help with understanding an assignment or tutoring, help is readily available, if one seeks it out. The classwork is enough to keep you busy, but still become involved with outside clubs and organizations. If one works hard and shows their instructor effort, then one's grade will reflect grandly.
    Dorm Life

    Community rings true with dorm life, here, at Navarro College. The RA's communicate actively with residents and there are lots of neat offers for those involved with dorm life. Barbeque and crawfish cookouts are just a couple events hosted by the Resident Life crew. Their commitment and dedication to the residents are superb, all the while accomplishing their own academic pursuits.
    Food and Dining

    I was certainly impressed with the variety of choices Navarro's food and dining has to offer. This year, in the month of March, National Health Month was celebrated by introducing new, healthier food choices in the school's cafeteria. This change was for the interest of those looking for healthier, more vegetarian food choices which is great for a growing college. The college not only hosts a cafeteria, but a deli, as well. Access is simple, fast, and easy. Food portions are aplenty and caters to every culture.
    What to do for fun

    There are plenty of sources for those looking for something fun to do at the Navarro College campus. Participating in one of the thirty clubs on campus is a sure fire way to become involved with others, the community, make friends, and also have a great time. The town itself caters to Navarro College residents by offering student discounts at places such as CiCi's, the Bowling Alley, Denny's, and Pollo Regio.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are up to thirty different clubs and organizations offered at Navarro, and plenty of opportunity to start a club of your own if you wish. Leo CLub, for instance offers community service projects, which not only involves college students but also to the surrounding community. The Honors Program offers community service and academic excellence and comes with a few benefits upon acceptance. A newly formed club called, The International Justice Mission, or IJM, focuses on helping and aiding those bound in human trafficking cases. There are social, academic major based, and volunteer clubs here that would suit anyone's personality.

    Am learning a lot

    The teachers I have had, especially in the science and math departments, are very good about teaching you exactly what you need to know. They show interest in the subject that they teach, and they guide you when need be.
    Am enjoying being here

    I have been to both the Corsicana and Waxahachie campuses for courses. Both of them are very clean, the teachers and administrators are friendly, and they love seeing their students excel.
    Bang for the buck

    The teachers are worth it, and so are some of the staff. However, their financial aid department (on the Waxahachie campus) leave much to be desired. They are not very helpful, and they are very matter-of-fact. That would not be a bad thing if they actually helped you and guided you. I am a first generation college attendee, and they gave me no help or guidance. So, for my associate's degree, I had to pay out of pocket. You'll have to learn on your own, or (maybe) go to the Corsicana campus for help.
    Tips for prospective students

    Utilize the Corsicana campus for all financial needs, or learn on your own. Make the most of your experience by doing well in your classes, and definitely go for an associate's degree. The core curriculum required for it will automatically transfer (plus a few more hours) to any Texas school [possibly others, too]. The degree makes it to where the school has to accept 60+ hours of your courses, and it cannot be picked apart. They can, however, throw things out such as orientation, but they still credit you with a few hours from it at the school you transfer to.
    Great for these types of students

    Frugal, introverted, new to college life, interested learners, and those that just want a new degree

    One of the best organizations is Recreation and Sports. They provide various sport leagues open to any student interested. There is also a great recreation room for students to play pool, ping pong, air hockey, basketball, volleyball, workout or just enjoy the flatscreen tvs.

    NC is a good school with great teachers and professors. It`s in a small town so there is not much to do but if you`ll join a club you`ll be fine anyways. The campus is actually really nice for a 2-year school.

    Bang for the buck

    i came to the united states when i was only eight years old. my goal was to talk english; it took me about four years to learn and understand. people sometimes made fun of my accent, or laughed because i said the words all backwards. they told me that i would never learn to talk well, and to stop trying that i was just wasting my time. these people said i would, would never be someone in life that i would never move to the next level. now i speak two languages and talk very well. this is because i never stopped trying. now i want to show everyone filled my ears with negative comments that i can be a success. even god, said because you have so little faith. i tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'move from here to there' and it will move. nothing will be impossible for you. i believe also faith is the first step up, even when you do not see the whole staircase. if i have to keep walking so i can see every staircase, if i just stay in the same place i will never see new things. i have come too far to stop. i want to get more education and learn more if i stop i will stop learning and knowing things. out there are many things left to discover, i and would like to discover them and find a solution so other people can live comfortable in the future.
