Texas College — Local services in Tyler

This is my son first year on the campus however Thursday evening September 21, 2017 I attempt to walk out the dorm with my 6year old grandson and unbeknownst to me, walked into an altercation with a young man making DEADLY threats to another student trying to walk back into the dorm. There were NO security near the dorm and the Dorm/Den monitor was elderly and could not have controlled the situation alone. There were other students that deflated the situation and didn't allow this ANGRY young man into the dorm after he made Deadly threats to this particular young man. I deemed these young men that deflated the situation men of valor! My concerns is to the Director of the campus, President, Dean of Students etc. How are you going to handle this situation and deflate this young man thinking of Deadly threats to students to have his (homeboys) drive to the campus and shot the students he threaten? How will you protect our children (young men and women) on your campus that travel near and far for an EDUCATION not to be killed?? Why is it that there's not TRAIN officers to assist the dorm/den monitors both male/female? Officers that are not fearful and won't gun down our students? Please respond Respectfully...

I dislike the fact that majority of the male students are having to live off campus in a old nursing home facility , with mildew in the tile ceiling , sleeping on run down dusty mattresses that look as if they found them in the garbage dumpster , dead bugs on the floor ,Wall Panel to bathroom door look as if termites is eating a way at it ,and having to share a closet big enough for one person . many of the students are without transportation depending on the annex bus to get them to and from the main campus for class on time ( which is over crowded at all times ) No student should have to live in a Old Nursing Home where many elderly sick people have died . Texas College can do better than this I'm sure.. Students traveled from a far such as California, New York , and etc to study at this Historically Black University to sadden by the thought of housing in an OLD Nursing Home..I must say that there is nothing historically about the Rose of Annex ..Nothing at all . I pray that those Students don't get sick from the dusty old dirty mattresses which they gave them paper thin mattress covers to put over them...

Please do research and read reviews before enrolling your child to attend. WORST SCOOL EVER! Move in day was so unorganized and the dorm (Daniel Hall) was obviously the oldest dorm there. Not clean and no air conditioning. Dorm room doors being kicked in when students are gone for the weekend. My son’s door was never fixed. Admission ladies very rude to my son. Coach was very unorganized. Horrible coach. In person classes canceled a lot. No teaching just giving work. The school states they do not discriminate but people working there do. The lady working in dorm calling my son “white boy” (my son is mixed race) The amount of money I have paid to this school is sickening for him to experience all of this. So glad he...
