Sharon McKinney is the WORST advisor. If you have her I recommend changing to someone that can actually help. Not someone who is going to talk down to you. Brookhaven do better. read more

Missed my place in line because I went to the bathroom and wasn't getting any service, then had to wait over an hour just to be seen by an advisor. I'd recommend going to ANY other Dallas College Campus. The people here (resgistration at least) do not seem to ACTUALLY care about you. However, once I finally made it to the advisor, everything went smoothly and they were helpful. Originally a 1 star review, the advisors brought it up to 3. read more

I've been attending DC-Brookhaven for two years as a student-athlete. I like the school's small size and class sizes. The medical building is very nice with many classrooms and labs. The medical area for all Dallas colleges isn't better than the Brookhaven facility and teachers. They have free tutoring and help with any class subjects you're having trouble with. It's not the nicest-looking school but don't let looks decide you because I've had a great experience with Brookhaven. There are people of many ages and backgrounds so it's a very inclusive atmosphere. Lastly, they hold many events like food drives and activities to engage in a community-like relationship with their staff and students. read more

I currently go to college here and was needing some assistance with the food pantry. I came after I got off work before they closed but nobody was here to help me. I called several number and wasn't able to get any help at all. I've wasted over an hour waiting for someone (one of the several number I was in contact told me someone was going to show up and help me). I feel like this is a huge slap to the face because I did no wrong because the hours themselves show that it should be open yet no one is here. read more

My name is Elesi Ameko. I graduated from Dallas College Brookhaven Campus. This college got a quality education for math and science. I highly recomend that college. read more

Brookhaven College is awesome and well as their amazing park which loops around the college. There are often 5k runs hosted at the park because the college's park is attached to the Vitruvian park. I come here to walk my dog or exercise. They also havr large pecan trees so in the fall you can bring a bag and pick up some pecans! I can run, hangout, throw a picnic and enjoy my afternoon here at this college's park and there is ample of parking. The college itself is awesome. They have a really good child development program partnered with a child care center that's separate from the school. Students can learn the practical aspects of child development and I can't wait to take that course here and get my CDA one day! read more

Such a great community college. Lots of opportunities for students to get involved. There is ample help on campus if you ask or look for it. Teachers are great and parking isn't too bad. The new buildings and additions are really great! read more

I wanted to take a language course here and unfortunately I didn't even get the chance to enroll thanks to the ridiculous amount of paperwork required. I decided it wasn't even worth it. I went to register for a class and they said I could because I hadn't passed the "computer literacy test." So they said they needed a transcript, fine. I have a bachelor's degree from a top university in engineering but that is apparently not enough of a qualification. What is absolutely RIDICULOUS is they require absolutely every single credit you've ever taken at any junior college or university. Tracking down that paperwork and submitting it is quite honestly a waste of my time. I'm not sure why a completed degree is not sufficient to register for a class. It's completely ridiculous. read more

Professors and those in the academia aspect of the school are great! However, those in financial aid and the admissions office are terrible. Waited on financial aid for a month until someone one day told me that I had to fill out a form that I wasn't informed about the entire waiting process. The officers are very rude and condescending. People here don't like their job and aren't interested in helping you. You seriously have to be own best advocate here and have a buttload of patience. read more

I finished my degree at Brookhaven in 2020. Just like other places, they're not perfect. Some procedures can be burdensome and slow. But as long as the education goes, it's a good school. Most professors were the best. They gave good lessons and would go out of their way to help you if you're willing to learn. There're chances you'd learn things that the other university people never do. The campus is a plus. Parking was awesome. Even the bookstore staff was nice and friendly. Recommeding. read more

This review serves as a warning to all who are looking to use Brookhaven College to host an event. - While the location and rooms were sufficient, it must be said that Edna Love, the Senior Administrative Assistant, is an utter tyrant. - Rooms were booked, per executed contract, until a specified time. 2 hours prior to that time, Edna interrupted meetings, barged into classes, and was generally rude to all, demanding that they leave immediately or she would "call the cops". I've never witnessed or heard of such impossibly rude behavior from a professional before. - The contracts, which specified the end time, were shown to Edna, to no avail. She continued her tirade of kicking people out. - I don't recall who called the cops, be it Edna or someone else, but they did actually show up, which was a surprise to all. They were also provided with the contracts, and agreed that Edna was, well, how do I put this delicately.... crazy. She was crazy. - Edna Love serves as the Senior Administrative Assistant to the President of Brookhaven College, Thom D. Chesney. - If you are looking for a location to host an event, please look elsewhere. read more

Sure, I'm still going to UTD, but Brookhaven or any other community college is a great option for getting rid of those lower level core classes at a really affordable price while currently, the four year universities are charging an arm and a leg for an education. Also if you have a musical talent and want to practice with a group or want to learn a foreign language this place is great for that too. read more

I graduated in May 2016. Like others colleges there are above average teachers, average teachers, and below average teachers, but trust me most of them are above average teachers. You can save a lot of money here at the Brookhaven before you transfer to a university. read more

Went to this community college in the 90s. Great education and very diverse campus. The looks of it haven't changed much. There are lots of students now compared to back then. Would be nice to take a few classes for personal enrichment. read more

This educational institution is certainly under-rated. I just graduated from high school this past June (Class of 2012! Woot!) and I can honestly say that prior to my second-semester of senior year, in high school, I was a "university snob". That being said, I can totally understand the anxieties protruding out of Brookhaven and/or university students. I've taken courses here before, as a dual-credit student, and have enjoyed my time here. The professors, for the most part, are very knowledgeable and passionate people. I definitely feel like Brookhaven will prepare me for my transfer to Texas A&M! read more

Advisors and staffs are so rude and slow. I bet a turtle is faster than them. I was waiting for 2 hours and a half just to waiting in the line. About advisor, they are irresponsible, and slow of course. One international advisor took my file and told me to got in line to the admission office then came back and would give me permit to TSI test, but she would leave in half an hour which is 3:00 pm. I wasted my time just to got in line and back home, then have to go back to school on the next day? Why she didn't hand my file to another advisor when she knows she will leave early? Bonus, campus is ugly! Such a horrible first experiment here. read more

After attending a Local 4 year private liberal arts college, and spending a lot of time on 4 year state college campuses, I gotta say: Brookhaven is the way to go. Unlike at 4 year liberal arts schools, the professors here actually have practical knowledge and will actually help you and most importantly, WILL RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTIONS AND YOUR EMAILS!!! This is a good school with good programs, and I would like to see it get accredited as a 4 year state school! I am currently in the Automotive Program, and I like it a lot. I get to do what I love, and people are polite and kind and helpful! I was about to give up on higher education, but after positive experiences here, I feel much better about my life and what I can do with it! I really love this place! and I hope good things happen to it! read more

I can't attest to this being the worst school in the dcccd but I can definitely say that based off of my experience, people here hate their jobs, they genuinely don't try to help you. They look at you as if your sheep and their trying to heard you out the door as quick as they can leaving you with the least amount of help as possible. When "getting help" they will look at you and already have an answer for you before you even open your mouth. The bookstore ran me around in circles having me leave and come back and wait hours just to retrieve books I bought and got a notification about them receiving while proceeding to tell me my books weren't there when they were IN FACT there. Honestly If you want people who care I suggest going to Mountain View they have the best service I've ever experienced out of the few dcccd schools that I've attempted getting assistance at. read more

Love the school and all the staff, not loving the financial aid department. Not the process, but the people you have to deal with on the phone are absolutely terrible! Theses ladies are rude! Every time i call to ask a question they don't seem to care about what you have to say. Example I have called four separate times and every time I call...I get no where. In a three week time span I have had to submit my package for review 3 times, for no reason. So I tried to call and get a better understanding of why I haven't recieved my financial aid and as usual I have no clear answer. The lady on the phone told me I had to submit my package for review AGAIN, I asked her why this was needed and she refered me to my email. I found the email....it did not give any instructions to log on to the link in the email. ************This is the email I received*************************************************** "We have received an updated Student Aid Report (SAR). Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. You will be sent an additional notification if you need to take any actions to complete your file. Sincerely, Dallas County Community College District Financial Aid Department" ******************************************************************************************** No where did this email say i had to log in and submit my package for review. I asked the lady if there is going to be a delay in time before i can recieve my financial aid because the package had just been submitted, she paused then as if she was speaking with a child replied in a very impatient voice, "Yeeeeeesss, because you never responded to the email by submitting the package." Point is if you plan on going to Brookhaven hopefuly you can afford your classes out of pocket! read more

I go there for Ceramic classes and it has the best facility I have tried so far. It is very affordable, teachers are great, the ceramic studio is good, they offer both credit and no-credit courses. I have taken just the ceramic classes there, but I hear all the fine-arts departments are good. It is a great place to learn. read more

Very unhappy with the application and registration process at this college. Was trying to register for a credit course and was denied in-state resident even though I had proof of residence in Texas. Hazel Beale in the residency office was not helpful and not communicative and very disappointed in how frustrating it was to try to register for this class. I already have my bachelors degree and I am an adult who works and they make their process very arduous and stressful. I ended up having to register through continuing Ed and Barbara and Rebecca were very helpful and I was able to register for the class and pay for it in less than 10 minutes over the phone. I'll keep you posted on how this semester goes but this college really needs to update their requirements to show proof of state residency. There are a lot of people who aren't married , who are self-employed and are not getting government assistance that would like to attend your college and are eligible to pay in-state tuition but are denied like me! Please consider updating your requirements because this is ridiculous! read more

I was interested in coming to this school but it seems real impossible to get into any programs at all. I went to the administration office to see if I can speak to an advisor. There was not too long of a line. Just 5 people ahead of me and this line was not moving at all. After an hr I was finally able to get through. This was the reason why. There were 2 booth/door things opened and when I went to speak to an advisor it turned out there were none! Then a 3rd booth opened I was talking to a student of the school. A young African American boy. I told him I wanted to see where I can get an application for the radiology program or to see any professional person from the program to assist me. The young man is just texting on his phone and he said he will Google it.....what? Google It? Then he grabs my cell phone and walks away with it because it had radiology written across it. He leaves and comes back 10minutes later saying no such program exists in the school.... I proceeded to tell him that it is clearly on the website and he refused to be wrong. Coming here looking for guidance was obvious a bad idea read more

Pro: Brookhaven is a great academic institution that Dallas is generally lucky to have. The professors and campus are top notch for a local college, and its very cheap if you live in Dallas County. That can easily be overshadowed by the cons, as specified below. Con: Brookhaven is a completely asinine and ridiculous place when it comes to registration or anything having to do with non-academia at the campus. The office staff is, without any exception that I have seen in two years to this point, totally inept at everything requiring more brain power than tying a shoelace. I have never been told the same instruction twice when it comes to required documentation, forms, deadlines, etc. Every office (they are all separate, financial aid, advising, admissions) will bounce you back and forth and make you wait in unnecessary lines before sending you to yet another office empty handed. The staff will generally go out of their way to not offer solutions to your issue and they will go out of their way to ignore you until the point where it becomes apparent that you are on some sort of hidden camera show and you're peering into the fake plants strategically placed around the office. The stress of dealing with the student support staff has led me both to tears and fits of pressure-release-screaming in the car sitting in the parking lot. Pro: you dont have to pay for parking read more

I had paid previously for all my classes and the paymen tand administration is absolutely ridiculous. I had paid for all my classes months ago, saved my reciept and printed out my classes months ago ready for today. And when i arrived for my 1st class it turned out they dropped me feom all my classes. When i went to the payment desk they said it was an unusual accident because many people share my name (will not disclose actual name). And not to mention the fact that we have ID numbers to distinguish each other which they completely over look. read more

OMG. I just got my degree like literally this week. I wanted to get my paper and transcripts before I shared my opinions!! The only person who helped me was the woman in admissions who did my graduation paperwork. I was harassed and hit on by the creepy bald white guy and even emailed about it && never heard back. Really??? Someone walking with me 2 my car && they can't even respond!! I dropped off my transcripts from UNT like 5x to the blonde assistant but for some reason they were "never received" or "someone in the back must have misfiled" wtf!! I HANDED them and received a copy. This place is a joke && they don't appreciate their students. Very few ppl helped me. The supervisor in advising, Brenda is a joke too!! They're all uneducated and sluggish. Stuck in the 90s and pick && choose who's worthy of an exception. Don't do it!! read more

Don't expect this school to be flexable with you if you're a working adult. If you have to put the hours in to pay the bills, but want to finish your education, this school isn't for you. If you try, you'll be met with a "Well tough shit" attitude and your teachers don't care if you fail. Being a veteran won't make a difference here either. I do not recommend this school to anyone. read more

Nothing wrong with the college itself as I remember, but the difficulties I have had trying to obtain transcripts, have them sent to other institutions and mainly the nightmare that is their e-connect system are beyond frustrating. I can't imagine what current students have to face considering their on-line system seems to be unnecessarily difficult. read more

I dont care what some people say- the professors are cool and want you to succeed- the campus is always clean- they promote healthy and great things- the running track is AWESOME. And over all if i could I would complete my entire degree here... read more

I have been going her for about a year in a half.Over the summer they re did the parking lot and the baseball fields etc. I love the campus so beautiful and really resourceful read more

I am in the art program at this school. I don't understand why I am seeing all these negative reviews on this school. I have always had an amazing time here. This school has so much to offer. People talking about advising taking long.... it happens at every college during registration. Online registration is available for those who are able to. Thats what I do. I avoid those long lines at advising. My professors are all knowledgeable individuals and want to see students succeed. Everyone will have a bad experience once. But that shouldn't be held against the school. I love Brookhaven. I love going to school. Its quiet, it's safe and it's affordable. read more

All of the Dallas County community college District campuses are great. Anybody who complains about the office organization at these two year universities are going to be in for quite a shock when they see the organization of some larger four-year. Navigating the bureaucracy is part of the skills you learn in college. I took classes here and at Eastfield to transfer to University of North Texas. The advantage that these classes gave me at University were immeasurable. Anybody considering college should seriously consider community college. In Texas we have a program called the "Texas common course numbers" that make classes taken at two universities easily transferable to four-year universities. For example English 1301 has a specific curriculum that means all Texas universities will except it. And when you factor in the cost savings of utilizing these universities for your first two years of study they are absolutely invaluable. read more

I am in rolled in a dual credit class for English 1301 and 1302 at my high school through Brookhaven. Brookhaven assigns Mindtap assignments are basically online reviews where are you answer multiple-choice questions over a small reading about grammar or logical fallacies. These online assignments are submitted for grading and account for a large portion of the semester grade. I have consistently found these assignments are strangely formatted, poorly worded. I find myself receiving lower grades on topics I completely understand because of the poor online system. I also have discovered many errors in the grading system; answers that were correct but the system marked them wrong due to coding errors. I had to go to my professor and email him with a screenshot every time I caught an error like this. Students who didn't discover this suffered their grades. Overall, Brookhaven English has great essay writing assignments but it's online grading system and online assignments are horrible. This is just my opinion of the class through my experiences with its online websites, but it aggravates me to no end that a college level class has so many errors in its core curriculum. You figure that someone should be taking these quizzes and checking if the answers are correct before sending them out to students. read more

This is the best school out of all DCCCD colleges! Some of the professors are literally GODS of teaching! Professional, caring, smart and inspiring! Could not ask for more. I am really happy to be a student here. Most of the services are not that time-consuming as some reviews state. Parking is convenient, bookstore has everything a student needs! read more

Horrible for veterans- no one cares and no one will help you, if you're a vet don't even think about going here. It's been 42 days since classes started and they have yet to send in my GI bill paperwork, I had to scrounge up money to pay for my classes up front as they said they would send my paperwork in 2 wks after class started- which is bad enough- but now it's been almost 6 weeks. This is the 3rd college I've attended do to moves and the ONLY one that I've had problems with. There is no reason to make our lives so difficult- thanks for nothing. read more

This is a really great college. Especially as a student who has been to others before. It's a truly beautiful campus.

The teachers at Brookhaven college is horrible and not really helping students. The building at Brookhaven college is very old and dirty most part of the building. The classroom setting looks terrible witty the ways it set up. I prefer just student and not with students that are mom already. Brookhaven college don't seem like a college place for students it more for anyone want to go there. Brookhaven campus don't seem to have any rule for students. The locations is bad. read more
