Chioma - 09/21/2024

My personal experience was good, besides the food. I also participated in band (which is actually very good and mostly fun), Phi Theta Kappa and TRIO. I took most of my classes online even though I lived on campus because of my heavy participation in those organizations, but it didn't stop me from graduating with honors and a 4.0 GPA. As someone who grew up near a metroplex, there's not much to do, but it's just enough for someone to stay for a couple of years. However, I do prefer a busier city life. In academics, I believe it's what the individual makes of it. After my first semester, I mainly chose my professors to ensure I had the best academic experience. I was determined to be on top of my classes because finances and my future career were on the line. If you're devoted to your classes, you'll do just fine. Student life may not be significant and grand like major universities, but it's definitely active. A couple of ministries are minutes from the college, which is great if you're a Christian like me. Overall, if you want to get away from home, make memories and long-term friends, and complete your basics at a cheaper cost, TJC might be the one for you. It's not the best, but for a junior college, it's decent.

Kamora - 08/22/2023

I feel like TJC was the right fit for me to start off my college journey. I have a knee injury and they help make things very assessable for me. And the teachers try to maintain strict rules and deadlines to give that bigger college feel so for those who want to transfer won’t be blindsided once they transfer to bigger schools. I love the sports life. All teams are very supportive of each other and the dance team is amazing.

Johnnye - 02/19/2023

I love Tyler Junior College! This is my first semseter at TJC. I am online due to living hours away this semster but my online professors that I email daily are excellent and I have no problems. I would reccomend TJC to anyone becasue in person and online is really excellent.

Tyler Junior College FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Tyler Junior College?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Tyler Junior College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

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

    In high school I was not only involved in everything but also a leader of most of the programs. I was a top student academically so high school is a great memory for me. When graduation came all of my friends went straight out of high school to big time Universities and so my choice to attend a Junior college was something that embarrassed me. Going back and talking to my high school I would remind myself to be proud to be able to attend college and not be embarrassed. I would want to remind myself that a college education is something most people cannot receive for many reasons and that college is a place where you get to live your dreams and become all that you can and not live in the past but use the past to guide my future. Now I know it was the best decision I could have made to attend Tyler Junior College. It is a great school and is something I am now proud of. I will graduate in the spring with my Associates and will then move to a University to continue my education in becoming a Registered Dietitian.

  10. Describe the students at your school.

    Most of my classmates at Tyler Junior College are definitely up-tight. They don't really talk much and also when you try to to meet up with them for studying or just help in general in class they seem as tho they have better things to do than to be worried about a dumb freshman.

  11. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    What's unique about TJC is it is not overly crowded. Some schools just have too many students and so you do not get to know your professors too well, but at TJC the classes are small and so you can have a good relationship with your professors. This will allow you to not be afraid if you are needing help and if you don't understand the subject.
