Collin County Community College

Horrible experience with Collin college cna program (Plano campus) the instructors (Lee and terry) have made learning the course very difficult. The program was disorganized and when we showed up for clinicals no one knew we were coming ?! The instructors didn’t communicate well at all. They picked favorites with students which made the atmosphere quite uncomfortable. It was always about the instructors reputation and never about the career success for the students. I can’t tell you how many times she rolled her eyes when she was unhappy or made me feel inadequate. I’m embarrassed for them. It was like high school in their classroom. We had one student drop out in the middle of the course (can’t imagine why) there is more to add like them talking about students in front of other students and staff as well. I could go on and on. Whole thing is a NO! Never will I recommend this program .
Glad to be done with it! Here’s to a new career and not having to deal with that high school in college anymore.

I love taking classes here at the courtyard. I took one class which was in the CNA program. My nursing instructor had taught me well. She is very fun and will push you until you know the material. If your don’t understand something be sure let the instructor know and she make it easier for you to learn the material better.

The instructors are great, very knowledgeable in the subjects they teach. My only complaint is time availability I wish there was more to choose from. I would also like to see more course offerings like Dallas county colleges offer.

I love taking classes here. They offer so many great classes and sometimes even free of charge. This little campus is super convenient to where I work, so it’s super easy to sneak out for a little while. They also offer a ton of resources for small business owners — I think it’s called the SBDC ~ Small Business Development Center? They can connect you with CPA’s, Attorneys… you name it!

I’m an instructor on this campus for Continuing Education but I have also taken some classes.
I started here when they were remodeling the inside. It is WAY better then before. Much more modern look. They do have alright PCs, and they have recent Macs. They aren’t running the newest Mac OSX, but I had also advised against that as it has problems with the Adobe programs.
The bookstore is small, but I’m sure a multi-​campus community college doesn’t need a large bookstore.
There are student lounge areas, and they are nice with plenty of room.
The staff is nice, but I’m sure with a negative attitude you won’t get far. I’m an upbeat person so I haven’t had any issues, other than needing to get my username and password reissued, which I have to do on campus during the day.
The classrooms are clean, the remodeling helped.
There is a plenty of parking, and if you find the garage there’s more.
The security guard, I believe it’s the Hispanic fellow, takes his job WAY too seriously from my experience. I walked out the door one evening and realized I left my keys in mu classroom. So I ran in, up the stairs, and was walking back when he confronted me. I immediately knew why he was looking for me. I had a laugh about it, he didn’t seem all that amused.
Another time, before, he followed me through the parking lot and into the paring garage. The way I take to come to campus required me to drive through the parking lot, which says not to just drive through. I was going to the parking garage. It’s not as if he can arrest me or ticket me.
On a separate subject, I left my 8 Gig USB drive once evening. This is NOT an uncommon occurrence in the classrooms. I went to the security office to retrieve it. turns out the person on shit earlier had taken it home with them «accidentally.» I’m not stupid. I did get it back. Now I just don’t take anything other than my book into the classrooms.
It’s a nice campus, as a community college. DOUBT it will be a bustling college/​university style campus. I recommend people to go there for the CE classes, and to younger people to start out there. JUST don’t leave anything or do anything that will get the security involved.
