Collin College Frisco Campus - (Frisco TX)

5 /5 miranda sue: Phenomenal professors, mandatory small class size, and very affordable. My anatomy and physiology professors were physicians and surgeons with 40 years of experience. My biology professor has a genetics degree from Yale. My algebra professor had taught the class 60 times prior. These professors work here due to genuine care and concern, and the way they teach is from a labor of love. They care and want you to succeed, and have really fine tuned their methods. Use rate my professor and you’ll find the best teachers. I’ve been to a crappy overpriced university with class sizes of 300 and they suck. Collin is where it’s at. There might be some issues with degree planning or bureaucracy but that’s typical within any higher education system. That criticism is more based on organizational policies. The only real criticism I can offer is limited ‘student life’ but there opportunities if you want it. Traffic can suck but it’s not as bad as others.

5 /5 allison payne: As a high school counselor I have to say this college campus and this entire institution is absolutely stellar. Workplaces dont care where you matriculate from. Unless you plan to rub elbows with the super rich, and you have to have Harvard on a piece of paper in your office, it doesnt matter where you graduate from college. What matters is that you do. On top of that, most people dont seem to realize or understand that it is the height of insanity to pay top dollar to go to places like a four-year college where they offer your student fewer amenities and care. Colllin College offers more in the way of equipment alone than I have seen at many four year college and for much less money. They have more opportunity for training and they even offer full-scale libraries. Their Makerspace area is jammed full of 3d printers, programmable embroidery machines, graphic design & print machines, and more free to all students including material! You have to pay for all of that material at a four-year university! There is no point in doing the first two years of college at a four-year university when you can get way more at Collin College or a similar 2-year college and come away with the same degree. Additionally, you dont have to worry about credits transferring 95% of the time when youre transferring in with a fully completed Associates degree. I attended five different colleges myself to different states, and I know that to be a fact. You want to get your child used to attending a college? Theres a lot less stress attending a 2-year college than there is attending a four-year college. Your student can live at home and still have a full college experience without wasting all of your money partying and not attending class. Theyre not learning anything when theyre partying and not attending class. I personally know a place that rents rooms to college students where you have the supervision of those students built-in, and they are expected to go to class and come home and do the work but theyre not living at home. Its a safe environment, and youre still in charge. Its a win-win because the student has more freedom, and the parent has more control. There are so many parents who are set on "my child must attend a name brand 4 year college." Its not realistic for the student. So many of todays students have been "protected" to the point that they do not know how to be resilient anymore. They need a stop-gap measure, and this particular college and colleges like it are really great stopgap measures for a lot less money and increased care/amenities. Very impressive.
