    Academic Rigor

    i am learning that it is vital to your success for you, as a student, to be aware of your goals, your surroundings, and to meet all deadlines on time. college doesn't slow down for people who are running behind. be on time, or miss out on your future.
    Am enjoying being here

    College life and working at the same time are difficult to balance at times, but I do enjoy and am exceedingly greatly to be taking courses at a small community college before being thrust into the fast pace of a four year university.
    Bang for the buck

    i would have to agree completely with this statement. although trinity valley community college still costs money, the comparison of tuition and fees to other community colleges reveals that it is cheaper while providing a respectable atmosphere for learning.
    Tips for prospective students

    it is important to ask for help when you need it. teachers will help you if you show an interest. meet all deadlines early. apply for as many scholarships as you can even if you don't qualify for financial aid.
    Great for these types of students

    take a class you do not think you will enjoy, because it may turn out to be something you base the rest of your life off of.

    Am learning a lot

    The teachers make a point to actually connect with the students here and offer as much support as they can. They spend time after every class to help students who don't comprehend material and find ways to spark their interest.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy this school because everyone from the teachers and faculty to advisers all have a understanding about the students. They always go out of their way to help.
    Bang for the buck

    The prices are great if your are in district but being out can be kind of steep. Never the less, the education you can acquire here is well worth it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Always look into the college you want to attend not only on the computer but in person. The advisers are more than helpful and will take care of all your questions.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for persons in the Trinity Valley area but not only that but also Forney, Terrell, Athens, Rockwall, Wellspoint and so on.

    Am learning a lot

    It really depends on the class, and the professor! My math teachers have been awesome! And one of the Psychology professors (Chip Chilton) is incredible! Like all schools, there are still the professors that don't give a flip.
    Am enjoying being here

    For the most part, the staff and students are really down to earth. And since it's a small town, it's not uncommon to have a classmate (that you've never met) stop you in the grocery store and discuss your course with you.

    Bang for the buck

    It's really affordable! I have no complaints on the pricing.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't be afraid to ask other students to recommend a professor to you. They will gladly (almost too gladly) tell you the good, the bad, and the nasty. I've found that most students genuinely wish to see you succeed.

    Also, don't let the school make too much money off of you. If you're going for a degree higher than an Associates, go ahead and get your degree plan together from the University you plan to attend. If you don't, then the counselors will probably have you taking courses that you don't need and/or not taking the ones that you do need.
    Great for these types of students

    It's great for the type of person that goes to school to get a degree. If your goal is to have fun, make friends, and earn a few credit hours along the way... then you might want to consider a school with more student activities. But if you're like me, then school is school and you will like it.

    Am learning a lot

    The quality of what I am learning in class is definitely close to the top. The instructors really take the time to make sure that you are getting all of the material. I am not only learning educational material, but I am also learning so many new things about myself.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the environment at TVCC due to the diversity and friendliness. I am meeting so many new people, and everyone is always so eager to help. Most of the staff has been around for awhile, so they definitely understand their job and know how to help you with just about anything.
    Bang for the buck

    TVCC is the least expensive two-year college in the surrounding area of wear I live, and we all know that college can really cost you. Having the best college experience I think I could possibly have really pays for itself.
    Tips for prospective students

    At any college, I would definitely recommend, getting involved. It really boosts the quality of your experience. Don't be afraid to ask questions, and remember to try and interact with your instructors as much as possible. If you have a good relationship with your instructors, your grades with reflect it.
    Great for these types of students

    TVCC is a great place for students who are from a small community and aren't sure about jumping right into a university. There are also a ton of opportunities for athletes and performers.

    In three sentences

    The school is absolutely wonderful. The entire teaching staff is very helpful.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would reccommend coming here for Dual Credit in High School.

    Academic Rigor

    Everything depends on the classes that you decide to take.
    Dorm Life

    I never lived in the dorm, but they just recently build a new dorm hall.
    Food and Dining

    The food is good and dining areas are clean.
    What to do for fun

    I'm not too sure what there is to do for fun, but there is a basketball court and some other various things to do.
