The newish Prosper Texas Town Hall building is beautiful. As the Texas prairie is gobbled up at the…read morefastest rate I've ever seen by new development,it's nice to see something esthetically pleasing,rise up. In this case it's the Town Hall building for the once tiny town of Prosper. Not long ago this was literally a tiny north Texas Town,exactly like the 1000s dotting the flat prairie of this part of the state. As development moves north at an ever more rapid pace,these tiny communities are being transformed overnight. It is critical with this type growth that responsible citizens are in from the start with rock solid civic planning. Once the infrastructure is planned and built out,it's impossible to retreat and redo. Setting the foundation for what's to come is a make it or break it proposition. On this day,I had taken my High School Junior Grandson to breakfast. Afterward I proposed we get on the Dallas north toll road and see where it ends. It still ends in roughly Prosper where staging is taking place to begin the extension even further north. Unprecedented growth continues to take place. I turned up towards the little town and as we passed the Town Hall building,I proposed we go in and take a look. Little did my grandson know that I'd disguised a civics lesson for him in the form of a city government visit. Ha,he thought he was missing school! Happy Birthday! As we entered the building I was truly amazed at the quality of construction. Well planned and thought out with top quality materials from floor to ceiling. Display cases reviews the history of small town Prosper in a museum quality way. We were greeted by a lovely representative of the city that was very helpful in our understanding of the area. If you're out and about seeing what's happening in our ever changing world,I highly recommend you stop in and appreciate this lovely structure and budding city government.

From senior citizens to elementary school children learning the art of tying a fly. Wish we moved here weeks earlier to participate in the other classes. We also saw beginners sewing classes we want to take. Afterward we went and visited the actual library and it was perfect. My toddler saw many Lightening McQueen books and chose 2. My older son saw the Hardy a Boys collection and checked out a few. My daughters had also found the Fairy series and Fancy Nancy. Now my sons library catalog searches came up empty which was a disappointment, but we understand it's a smaller library. The librarian is so wonderful and let us check out our books with just one registration today and asked us to take a look at the donation books in the lobby. She recommended looking for Hardy Boy which my hubby came back with about 15 of them. I picked up 4 of "My Children First Library" science books. Thanks Melissa library for a great first visit!

Even after I read the reviews I tried to give Collin College a chance…read more The few staff members I interacted with were helpful, prompt in getting back to me and gave insightful advice. They also added some information that needs to be updated along with information on who to ask for what. This is the most the most draining and absolute worst time applying at this college. There is a huge lack of coordination and experience applying to this college. They request so much information... repeatedly. It's ridiculous. Worst application process ever! Not sure what to say about the admissions, tech support and the veterans office, except all around, very little to non existent engagement, along with a huge lack of coordination on doing anything that I spoke with them about. These people seem to like to pass their roles onto you for applying as well as on other departments. Plenty of repetitive emails about the same issues. No one in these departments seem to keep track of any information related to my transcripts that had already arrived or the one that they needed for which I gave them the response I received from CCAF. They also never passed this information on to another department who contacted me about this. I was not aware that the veteran's department at any college did transcript evaluations. I thought that was the job of the admissions department. Here it seems to be a different case. So for that matter why doesn't the admissions staff get with the veteran's staff and send one email to include all staff who needs to be involved in one email to me? I had to suggest this approach to them to streamline the process. This information I gave to them went nowhere, since I was still contacted from the veteran's department on what I already emailed to admissions. Now, it does not take having a degree to use common sense on how to get things done efficiently, but apparently at Collin College it seems to be that way. Once called the veterans department and asked what services they offered and the young man basically said what questions do you need answered. This your department's job not mine and you need to know what you offer or just find another job somewhere else. The other times were just emails between myself and the veteran's office. I already have a higher level degree from a very reputable university here in Texas. This same university already did the work of seeing what credits from my lower degree would transfer to eliminate taking the same prerequisites. The other universities for which I left due to changing my degree plan we're also looked at for this same reason and I was able to complete my BAS degree. But at Collin College, where I was seeking a lower level,AAS degree to accommodate my current degree, experience and job options, they requested transcripts from the other universities I left and never returned. How does that make it any logical sense? It does not make any logical sense. You saw my BAS degree where those other places I left were already evaluated on the transcripts and still thought it was a good idea to ask me for those transcripts to evaluate. I have to wonder though if this is some planned attempt at getting their acceptance numbers up on paper to justify job security and to get VA money. Also it's either laziness, a lack of competence or who knows what to try and understand this place. From the beginning and still dealing with uncoordinated departments, robotic replies to the same questions I have asked, I am disgusted and no longer going forward in attending. I will contact the appropriate people on the process of applying to this place and the lack of helpful engagement to prospective students which it does not provide. Also, remove my name from the acceptance list, since I am no longer attending. If down the line this issue with Collin College comes up as to why they made it seem like I dropped or stopped applying to make it seem like I am unaccountable. I will also take the needed actions to correct this misinformation! Brandy

Our daughter goes to UNT but was advised that if she completed 2 math classes over the summer she…read morecould graduate early. She found the classes she needed at this McKinney location, registered and enrolled online. Easy! The campus is very small. We had to use Google maps to find its physical location. Theres no obvious signs that this is the McKinney campus. We drove around the circumference of the property trying to figure out which building is the main building. We gave up, parked, and walked in. We figured out where we needed to go and then figured out where we needed to park. The library is an independent building, not connected to the main campus, but it is walking disance. The outside elevation of this library is exquisite! The inside is just as impressive, definitely a great place to study. They offer many services to students like computers, printing, as well as renting GoPros, video cameras, etc. Theres an a area next to the library currently under construction. I couldn't find anything about it. My guess is more classrooms. Also under contruction is a Starbucks and Cafe that might be up and running by Fall of 2022. The Computer Lab at this campus is state of the art! Looks like they got new computers this semester -- by the smell of it, lol. There were approximately 55+ Dell & 10 Macs, not counting the computers in the classrooms next door. They also have printers for students (FYI: $30.00 spending allowance per smester). Nice! The campus in general is very outdated, but they have invested a lot into updating the furniture, new flooring, paint and equipment. If you rely on an elevator, I only found one. The campus has many many many, wide, open stairwells but no elevators nearby. There is a call button on the wall if you need help specifically your wheelchair. I have no idea how that works? Looks like the latest addition to the campus is the parking garage. I'm sure during the Fall & Spring semesters the parking situation is insane. This campus has a police "office" on campus, and a strong police presence even over the summer. I did notice that the main McKinney Police station is across the street. Nice to know...
