Just like the Plano campus--Life lessons training from all of the Professors that I have had the pleasure of learning from. Every Professor has been from, or is working in the field that the class was about. Highly recommend if you are wanting an associates degree or if you want to take a few classes to brush up on new standards.

Go to the Mckinney Campus (Central Park). It DOES have a cafe in the library, mostly pastries and coffee. Food trucks are here most the time. The teachers and people are more quality, I believe, at the McKinney Campus compared to the Spring Creek campus. I have very much enjoyed my time at Collin College. I recommend everyone go here!!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS COLLIN COLLEGE!!! The professors are genuinely helpful and want you to succeed! Unlike other colleges tuition is VERY affordable, the environment is great, and best of all teaching methods are very professional, fair, and simple to follow. I highly recommend this college for anyone going back to for their degree or out of HS

If you are a student who works FT and is attending classes at night or on weekends choose another college!!! I cannot stress this enough. The adjunct professors here are just in it for the extra paycheck and do not teach for understanding. They curve the grades to make it look like they're good professors. BEWARE!

this school had upset me so much, the classes are not at every campus and the ability to get in to some classes is impossible and they make you do so much pre work to get into some class, not enough information about classes to as in only for biology majors, etc, plus the limit on good teachers.

Collin county colleges have absolutely nothing compared to Dallas county colleges. They are veterans affairs department is nothing to speak of and they are not even equipped to make decisions or solve problems, let alone gives students any resources. The head of the VA department Is useless

Dont waste your time at the school and go to a Dallas County college where they actually have resources, tutors and counselors who you can actually make appointments with to help you. Its the perfect school for you if your expectations are low.

I'm graduating with my associates this week from here. They do have great teachers, but I've noticed in the last year they don't seem to care about anything other than nursing students. They hire teachers who aren't teachers, they just have degrees in something. My bio teacher is a chiropractor. My math teacher was an art dealer. Weird.
