Irving, TX
North Lake College

I was a student over the summer break and the college was perfect, different from my high school and more interesting, the setting is beautiful and the diversity is just beautiful, different from anything I've ever experienced. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to universities.

North Lake College is a great place to go for an education; tuition prices are pretty cheap. Most of the classes are smaller as opposed to being conducted in lecture halls which is very helpful for those who aren't very fond of being in a larger group setting.

North Lake is a small community college with a lot of personality! There are people from all over the world that come here which leaves for a good mix of different cultures and spirit. It has a really good student atmosphere which allows for students from all over the world to come and mingle. A lot of students are new to this area and are always looking to make new friends. If you want to save money but still get an education that will propel you forward, North Lake is the place to go.

There's up and down on North Lake College but I enjoyed my school year with them . They have offered me a new job even though I have not yet have my first experience doing any job related. I have good teachers that actually helped me a lot and many great opportunities from different services on tutoring which is free that helped with my homework. Offer many student who are struggling with needs like food and they will give them for free from one of the service food center. Have career service as well first year advising and general advising. They even have free counselling service which any student is struggling in life and help talk your problems with no judgmental opinions.

North Lake College is a community college with a very open community. Despite the stigma around community colleges, I was able to realize how helpful these colleges are and how open-minded they are to the students' life and priorities. There is great diversity within the school as all ages and races of people come for an education. Whatever anyone's reason may be for attending this school, they are very open and offer many resources for whatever a student may be going through. There are resources if a student ends up homeless, professional licensed counselors, and very helpful academic counselors. The school's top priorities are the students and to make sure they are able to graduate with a valuable education. Although I plan to transfer from this school after completing my Associate's degree, I believe my time here will be meaningful and valuable and allow me to become more open-minded to everyone's situations.

It is a small community college, so I always feel like it is a friendly place. People are happy and cheerful on campus and I always say hi to everyone and smile at everyone. The professors are great as well. I have not met a professor that I have not liked yet.

The professors are very caring and extremely intelligent, and they do their absolute best to make sure you have the best experience possible.

North Lake college has put me on a path for success. I am able to begin my college career running due to such low tuition cost which means more money towards living, transportation, books, and other expenses. I have met wonderful people on this diverse campus. All friendly and quite helpful staff. The lines for admissions, financial aid, and other services are very short. The campus life is very lax and the buildings are creatively built. The school sits next to a pond and a golf course which gives a peaceful vibe for in between class walks. Academic help can be found all over the school with certain classrooms designed just for help. The tutors are fellow classmates as well as staff focused just on tutoring. The surrounding area of Irving where the college is located is very beautiful with University of Dallas just around the corner. There are many fine restaurants to choose from for a lunch break as well as easy access to the highway leading to Dallas. Overall, North Lake college is the go to college for high school graduates to get a head start on basics for a very cheap price at Flower Mound High school level academic standard.
