Angel - 09/30/2019

My overall opinion of TSTC is they are a great school. I love how small they are this does make it feel more personal . Overall I do enjoy being there and would not go to any other college. I have recommended this school to many friends and will continue to do so. For the most part the instructors are very nice and willing to go above and beyond.

Tiffany - 08/06/2019

Great and extremely affordable school! I did my academic core there and all my classes were affordable as well as textbooks. The professors were always accessible during their office hours as well as after class. I have had some of the best professors ever at Texas State Technical College. Although I do recommend this to work on their advising departments and make their employees there more informed on things like transferring out to different schools, as well as create a system where students will be able to send their official/unofficial transcripts electronically to a different school.

Alain - 04/23/2019

My opinion about Texas state technical college is that it's a great place to learn and it's a great place for people with low income. You learn a great amount with sucknlittle time and theres always opportunities for you even after graduation. The campus is always clean and if you ever need any assistance theres always someone to assist you for directions. As an overall is a friendly and safe place to be.

Yvonne - 04/21/2019

Overall, TSTC is a good way to save money before heading off to a bigger college or University and you feel comfortable around people who live in the same area. You get many chances to get help throughout your courses and professors are always ready to help too.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I always imagined college as independence from my family, the chance to change my life for the better, meeting new friends, having some fun along the way, and learning more about my major. Well after a few wrong turns and lessons well learned, it was. The most helpful thing to know about college is to always get involved in school sponsored activities, i met some of my closest friends that way. but also #1 when it comes to roomates always remember that your not sisters, so dont shop for groceries like it, always split the grocerie bill. #2 when it comes to class sit in front, have a tape recorder but have it set before class starts and #3 last but not least if you need help don't ask a classmate go straight to the proffessor, that's why they're there. Wear comfortable closed toe shoes (never sandals or heels), you never what the day of class will include, you dont wanna have to run back and forth to change. Another helpful hint is to desginate a bed time. Yes it sounds lame but in the long run its your very best friend. And breakfast is a must.

  8. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    My overall opinion of being a student at Texas State Technical College in Harlingen and being a woman in the Auto Body Collision Program is very interesting. I am a hands-on type of gal, and well I'm not the one to be sitting behind a desk answering phone calls. My classmates which are mostly males are very respectful and always have my back when I need the help. My instructors are so nice and kind to me. They instruct step by step until I tell them that I'm satisfied on doing it on my own. Usually all they have to teach it once cause I'm a fast learner. The school itself is very peaceful and everyone is nice. I love it here and I just started.
