Then tried for cosmetology where I was bullied by a teacher. Upon review of the school board I was told to write a five page apology to the teacher that was causing problems.

    Our Harvard on the Hill. Our Princeton by the Pond. What used to be known as Cooke County College…read moreis one of the biggest assets in the Gainesville community and, truth be told, the North Central Texas region in general. This is a college where you get what you put into it. Sure, if you're just looking to "get your basics out of the way" this is a junior college where you can do that inexpensively and with minimal interference. True, if you just want a two-year degree and don't want to do the whole "college kid" thing, you can come here at any age and from any walk of life and still learn a lot. But if you want the full college experience -- and you want to leave NCTC as a better critical thinker, artist, art appreciator, musician, actor, caretaker, philosopher, scientist, literary expert, mathmetician, academician and/or public citizen, you can. But you have to stick around after class and take advantage of what NCTC has to offer. The feel of the Cooke County Campus was like 13th and 14th grade when I went there a decade ago -- "high school with ash trays" one student called it my first day there. But I learned quickly that there was a greater depth to the faculty that few students took the time to explore, and that this wasn't just an extension of my high school years (aside from the dual-credit classes they offer!). The long-time instructors and professors of NCTC have ample time to focus on students on a one-on-one basis outside of class, and aren't psuedo-intellectual snobs (meaning you might actually learn something if you admit ignorance, rather than get sneered at. I was told by most of my instructors "there's no such thing as a dumb question," and I'm glad because I had my share of them!). Also, being a part of and starting several campus organizations were some of the best experiences of my life, and I made many lasting friendships by exploring my career, political, and spiritual interests outside of class. The culture of the campus has changed a lot -- the college is attempting to become more liberal-arts-focussed and there are many pre-planned school spirit campus events that make it seem more collegiate but not quite like the adult-oriented institution I attended in the mid-90s. Many of my beloved instructors have left or have passed on, and all the buildings were painted maroon. But it's still like home to me in many ways. One of the perks of getting to know the faculty is that you can always look up your old profs years later and find in them a mentor to help you throughout your career and life's challenges -- remember that when you get your modest tuition bill in the mail that you're investing in an educational community and not just a two-year certificate or Associate's degree. It's one of the best educational deals on the planet, and I can't recommend NCTC enough. Go there.
