So bad, people never get back to you and make you wait. My girlfriend tried to talk to international advising faculty and she waited over 2 hrs for nothing. The school is also pretty run down, many other community colleges in Dallas College are better. Don’t choose Brookhaven.

Love the trails to walk with the pup. It’s great cause the have the track path which is better on your joints. It’s also nice that the water fountains are dog friendly as well so you don’t have to haul a big water bottle/dish around! Some of the track needs some attention though.

Game was canceled at start of game the league forgot to send contract to college so we were able to scrimmage with other team, no lines on field, not mowed for games.

Beautiful scenery and paved trails. I enjoy the pop up fitness stations along the path as well. The equipment is weathered but still very usable!

Great college, reasonable tuition, and a nursing program. We need good nurses now more than ever.

The front desk staff at Brookhaven Dallas College are not friendly nor helpful and are very discouraging...They apprear not interested in going out of their way to help or offer guidance.Will not let you see the advising department even if you have the admittion number even when you persistently request to see one just because they dont feel the need to.I went to Northlake Dallas College in Irving and received great assistance and guidance there from all departments,they are very helpful but Brookhaven Dallas College need improvement with their customer service especially at the front desk.

Love their walking- running trail always well maintained and a lot of trees around.

Ok campus. Only offer associate degrees and some certificates.

Great spot. Very nice campus

Just from coming on campus and seeing how things work so far I am impressed. No smoking on facility, restrooms and a Subway. Right off the DART 468. I may further my education from this one visit alone!

Very nice running and biking trail

An excellent community college that has the mentality of a University. Many courses and tracks to specialize in. Affordable. Very accommodating to foreign students. Placed in a job in my area of study while in my last semester in 2013. Faculty is generally great. Highly recommended!

Someone said it was a good place to learn and practice English, did my admission test and told them mainly wanted to practice and lose my accent when speaking. They put me in a class with people with heavier accents than mine that didnt know half of what Ive learned, also the teacher spoke to us like kindergarten kids and gave candies away when people replied correctly. After a couple of classes I was done with this fiasco.

Very clean environment, very helpful staff

It was quite nice the North Dallas Food Bank was there a delivering food and I was able to be a part of it they made it special.

Literally the worst academic advisors Ive ever experiencedI wasted the year of my life doing what they told me to apply to the nursing program with no one taking accountability of their multiple screw upsRun away

This five stars are specially for the Late Carol Hodge. She was one of the great adviser and helped me to get the admission process go very smoothly and easy. You will always be there with us in our prayers!!!BrookHaven college is a great platform to start with and grow. Thanks to all faculties and all helpers!!!!

I love the atmosphere here.

Great place to take Ceramics and Printmaking classes!

Easy to navigate and full of helpful people!

Early voting site. Easy access. Very close to parking. Friendly, efficient and health conscious staff.

Went for early voting and they had signs directing you the whole way. No confusion, and line was at a minimal. GO VOTE!

Good school, helpfully staff, has a food pantry and has a lot of programs for struggling families

Its a wonderful place for a college

Beautiful landmark!

Attended evening classes and did well at this pleasant campus site.

My daughter attends the college...She has nothing but positive things about the college

DO NOT ATTEND! From beginning to end signed up for incorrect class overcharged with NO REFUND! They will NEVER admit their mistakes! Nothing but a hustle the WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD with a community college! Spend the money and go to a University its worth it!

Great atmosphere and knowledgeable faculty/staff. Always a great option to take courses if you want to explore different career paths or learn new hobbies. Received my degree a few years back, but I still go up there to visit with old professors.

For the most part everyone is helpful. However, a few instructors and administrators need to learn theyre not better than everyone else. Yes, for certain classes we have to go here, but if someone had a choice, Id say to run to another campus. Courtesy and kindness need to be keywords here.

For the most part various departments have been helpful. Some people are rude, dont understand they are working a customer service position (testing center), but not everyone is polite and helpful. I understand. Overall I am happy going to school here. I do take mostly online classes but have taken science classes on campus. They have a wonderful science tutor center. I would frequently visit it to practice for my lab A&P exams. The advisors are a hit or miss. The most helpful to me has been a Native American older gentleman. Patient and kind. Point is, theres good and bad but for the most part Ive had good experiences. I had a kind but very confused and disorganized lab professor. The dean got involved and actually allowed out class to get an extra day to study for a practical. The class was a disaster, but the dean tried. This was at the end of an 8 week A&P class.

Good community College campus is nice got my associates degree from here

Brookhaven campus is nice. The professors are pretty good. My only issue with Brookhaven is that theyre financial aid process sucks! If you are applying for financial aid I would recommend you get a job so you can pay for your books and classes. Brookhaven does not make the financial aid helpful at all.I still havent received my financial aid and the semester is off in two weeks. I really wish Brookhaven will change their policy and make it easier for students to receive money so they can pay for their supplies,books and classes. Its really irritating!

Admissions and advisors are anything but helpful. They will string you along for months. I submitted all of my paperwork in early November (it’s now January) and they say they still have not gotten to it because “it’s a process,” meanwhile the one class I want to enroll in is filling up.

I am a 35 year old student with experience at other colleges and universities. I have already earned a four-year degree, a two-years degree, and a one-year certificate. Currently, I am taking some prerequisites classes at Brookhaven College to continue my professional career. Without doubt, I can tell you that Brookhaven College is one of the best college that I have attended before. As any other institution, there are some staff employees and professors who harm the college reputation, but they represent an insignificant minority. Since the beginning, you can feel a sense of belonging with the college, there is everything you need: Counseling Center, Career Center, Advising Center, Student Clubs and Organizations, Disability Support, Exercise facilities, Health Center, Multicultural Center, a complete Library, Computer Center, Tutoring Center, among others good facilities. The quality education is at the same level with any other university. They have a greater range of classes that you can take in campus or online. Unfortunately, many people with bag experiences are writing in this blog, and individuals like me that are going to this college and believe in it, are no taking action against those negative comments. But you can take advantage of a good educational institution if you want, is your choice!

Thank you Rising Star Program and Thank you Vince!! Super glad to be part of the program. Always there to help me! All my questions were answered. When I was having some trouble with classes he helped me find some tutoring. Very positive! The teachers here are great! Mrs. Patricia Dodd was the best English teacher Ive ever had! I loved her classes! She needs to come back to Brookhaven! Another great teacher is Ms. Janell Edwards! :-)!Definitely recommend them!

Love the school but TURN UP THE HEATER PLEASE ! 🥶🥶

I attended Brookhaven College years ago and it molded me into who I am today. The professors were wonderful and they went over and beyond to help one succeed. It was a wonderful experience and helped me transition into my 4 year college that I attended after my educational career at Brookhaven. A beautiful experience!!!

Way better than any of the local 4 year colleges I have worked with in the area. The students are friendly with rare exception. The professors actually reward you for showing up and doing the course work and learning the material. The career services office referred me to a temp agency when I needed a job and their staff was really helpful. The financial aid office needs a bigger staff, theres only one person on campus at the window for their office and she doesnt speak great English but thats about the only bad thing I can say. The alumni relations office is courteous and helpful and actually invites me to events! This is by far the best college I have ever interacted with.

Most of the professors are awesome. If you need help, most go above their job description to help you. The school has a great layout. I love all the trees and fountains throughout the campus.

Worst DCCCD Campus. They do not cater to students, sure they offer classes but more than anything they offer employment for teachers and the worst administrative staff youll ever encounter (especially that black lady early 60s in the A building). Neither schedules nor amenities accommodate students. If you plan to attend class on weekends you will not have any lounges microwaves, vending machines, or any other school service available. Bookstore does not open weekends so prepare to juggle a schedule.

Took some certifications and it is great place! thanks to all faculties and staff. I learned a lot during my courses. Happy to be able to teach since then :)

GOOD

Went for early voting and no waiting at all. Thanks to all the poll workers.

The rudest and most unprofessional staff Ive had to deal with. Financial Aid office staff lacks training and has know clue how to advise future students. Asked to speak with an advisor and the lady I was speaking with wouldnt let me speak with an advisor and got an attitude. Lost my patience and will not be attending.

It was good I liked it

Oh my gosh. I was so disappointed from this College. Most of staffs and instructors are really nice and they got a plenty of information and they knew how to teach students. But some staffs in the multicultural center didnt even know how to take care students. Based on my experience, when I was planning to go back to my country, they asked me to bring airplane tickets and letter. So I brought all of them what they need. But a week later, they called me back it was because they lost my copy of airplane tickets and letter. So they wanted me to bring it again even though I was not in Texas. And they said if I am not supposed to bring it or mail it, they will terminate my I-20 immediately. So I stopped eating and then got out of a restaurant although I was with my friends, I needed to find a place that I can use WiFi. Eventually I mailed all of the copies again. It wasnt even my fault, they asked me to bring in again within an hour.

Wonderful school! Some great instructors and good programs. Beautiful campus, highly recommend.In response to some of the more negative responses, yes there is red tape, but that is everywhere you go. Try going to a University and seeing how fast THEY process you, it is much worse. You cannot beat this for the cost and quality.

I love this campus. It’s professors are amazing as well

Advisors are supposed to help International students as much as they can, but some of them are there to increase the problems. They do not understand the problems of International students, just put their opinion and its over for them. Try to help students as much as you can so that you do not have to do student counseling time and again. You make students in frustrations and send them to counseling. It is really disgusting. Besides this problem, Brookhaven College is one of the best colleges in US. I love Brookhaven College.

The financial aid department is clueless. Ive filled out the correct paperwork for financial and waiting for the award monies to be deposited, find out that the paperwork wasnt uploaded. Now I have to start the process again and the original loans that were offered are no longer there. Not sure once the new paperwork is submitted what the turn around time will be and neither does the school. Call FAFSA and they tell me that everything I submitted was correct its on the school. Call the financial aid department back and come to find out its a third party answering hotline which cant speak English or know whats going on as well.Ive already graduated from a college so I am well aware how financial aid works and the BS this department is pulling isnt it.

Absolute worst experience of my life. I took a couple of classes online and while the faculty were decent, the school administration was absolutely the most incompetent group of people I have ever had to deal with. I could never get through to them on the phone, they wouldnt answer their emails, and if by an act of God I did talk to someone on the phone the lady was rude and snarky. They were supposed to send my transcripts over to my institution so I could graduate but they didnt and caused a huge mess on our end with graduation. If youre wanting to take classes online DO NOT GO HERE! If I could give them zero stars I would.

I was enrolled in this school only because it was required to transfer credits from a study abroad program into an American institution. First off I think its kind of a scam that I had to pay out of state tuition to Texas since they seem to have a monopoly on partnerships with foreign schools. The staff is friendly enough though and helpful. However God help you if you need to fill out a transcript request form. The only way they accept it (at least in 2014) was to fax it. I had no access to a fax machine and the woman I spoke to seemed bewildered by this and I had to call numerous people to get them to accept a scanned copy via email. Seriously who still uses a fax machine?

Does anyone know the distance of the jogging trail here?

This college does not deserve the negative ratings it has been given. I am a transfer student from The University of Texas at El Paso. If you think it is difficult to apply for schooling at a community college, there is a problem. Financial aid, and classes were easily obtainable, but keep in mind, it is your job to keep up with your issue. They are there to help you but they cannot do everything for you. Turn in everything early and if not, on time. You should be fine with admission. Best of luck with this upcoming semester.

Quite possibly one of the worst network of schools in the country. The payment system takes advantage of low income families, and you have to nag the financial aid office every single day for weeks in order to get anything to happen. Also dont even get me started on their unprofessional and degrading teachers who try to make you fail instead of help you succeed. I missed a SINGLE day of class and the teacher tried to make me get kicked out of the program because of it.

Lights were cool

The school is great it has wonderful teachers that will help you when you need it. They also have different labs so thet can help you with your course and tutors will help you understand what is going on.

The testing office is awesome. Gary is so easy to work with. We homeschool thru Texas Tech and from time to time we need a test proctored. The staff is awesome and helpful and we are so happy to have found them!

Dcccd ain’t nothing but scammers they want Give me my transcripts because I owe them like really I can’t even get the unofficial one what school keep on a hold on a student transcripts that’s not even school. And Brookhaven is the main reason why I failed my classes I been in school for 2 years not I never fail a class ever since I came here I failed my classes. All I’m asking is to get my transcripts why y’all holding my transcripts bruh. I need the school presidentTo give me a call ASAP!!! By the way the teachers don’t want to help and the tutors horrible too

I like this school Its pretty chill and the environment is nice... Just dont like the construction its in the way.

Amazing school! Staff is very thorough, competent, and ready to help students. Love the quality of care given to students. School is also very well kept. Only complain is the brookhaven website and econnect. Seriously need some better IT people. Too many gliches

Great campus. good teachers. great course selection.

Awesome college campus!

Loved all my courses here. They have great instructors.

This is the best school out of the all the DCCCD campuses. They answer their phones eager to help. The advising group is spectacular. Thank you Brookhaven!

Wonderful school with a thriving sense of community. It feels like a university with all of the groups, extracurricular activities and programs, yet the smaller size helps students from feeling like a number.

Love the school.. but other than David the probation advisor (he is great amazing guy) all the other advisors Ive had that werent probation advisors are terrible. They are rude and they are not helpful. They just want to leave. They have no patience and they dont care.

Financial Aid dept is as slow as a 3 toed sloth.I was not told ( very late in the application process) the award amount only covers tuition. They low ball your award amount and leave you with the responsibility of living expenses. I was hoping to get $25,000 for the year to cover tuiton and basic living expenses. What a rotten deal!Update:Financial Aid department is very slow to do anything for your account ( no emails to update your status, etc...)Dont use their call center beause they only give you vague answers. Its best to come in person to get things done. A snail moves faster than these jokers.update :Dallas County Comminity College District are legal scamers.They make you complete all of the steps for registering for the school, then for class, then for financial aid, then tell you that you have too many credit hours to qualify for aid ( im an adult student returning for a second career). Now, I either pay $1500 on my own or drop all of my classes - - its a bait and switch scam.advice :If you have a lot of credit hours then, dont bother applying for student loans at any Dcccd campus.BE AWARE !BE AWARE !Bait and Switch scam ! !DANGER !DANGER !

Love how supportive staff are to students as well as the emphasis on student communities! Learned so much here !

I submitted a transcript request and received an online confirmation. Two weeks later, the recipient institution still has not received anything from Brookhaven College. I called BHC on the phone. The BHC employee said they request did not go through even though I had a receipt confirmation saying it went through (more like they didnt get off their lazy bottoms and send the request). She did not once apologize for being bad at her job. Her solution was for me to either submit a new request and wait for the request to be processed or come into BHC and request a copy which I could deliver myself to the recipient institution.

The reviews are right. Literally wanting to apply...put money in their pockets and no one answers calls even after a voicemail is left. No one returns emails. Its like going around in a circles. I left voicemails for Joanna Carson. Sent email to Dean Kathryn Wetzel. No response. Ive always attended big universities so im not used to the lack of professionalism or disorder. Im going to report them to the better business bureau and state dept of higher education. Maybe once they lose their accreditation and individuals are out of a job, theyll get it together.

Decent campus. Some really good instructors in the technology department.

I like this campus, people and teachers are so kind!

Great school in DCCCD. My wife got her nursing degree her and makes more than I do!!

Its obvious that they really care.about students and the community!

This schools advising center didnt help at all. In the advising office the help and service and attitude was just awful and there was no type of understand-ment in my opinion. In all to register and fix my stupid address because they marked it as out of district when I was in district it took me 2-3 months and still i felt like I was being harassed due to my age, just because Im young 16, newly 17 doesnt mean I cannot be in college already. I am sadly dissatisfied by this school I always viewed it as a best school around ever since I was younger but once it was my turn oh hell did that change.

Do NOT go here. Admission has NO idea what they’re doing. I wasted money on sending them my transcript through email and they claim they never got it. You will NEVER get a call back. Complete waste of time!

I read all the review about this college. if you have any problems which I had last week, ask for their supervisor. I though they werent helpful at all. I was so upset. But when I spoke with his supervisor he was really helpful.

I’m taking ESL class. Each class is $90. There are good teachers and good students.

The admissions department as well as transcript sending and receiving end situation is probably one of the worst things I have seen from a professional standpoint. Thoa Vo as well as Chris Perez should not only be fired for their work in the admissions office, but they should also never be allowed to work in an educational institution again. If there was a way to rate them at a basis of no stars, then apply it here. One student working on the phone system to answer all questions (which they have given out the wrong information twice btw) is absolutely ridiculous. Institution is in the business of collecting money and not caring at all what happens after that. I think an investigation is seriously something that needs to be considered here.

This is the absolute worst school I have ever belonged to. You will sit on hold for about 30 minutes before talking to a staff member, trying to send a transcript is the most complex process I have ever come across, and signing up for online classes is more difficult than signing up for online classes at a university. The people working there are no help at all. I will never take a class here again and I advise you to do the same.

IVE LITERALLY BEEN CALLING THEIR REGISTRAR FOR LITERALLY 2 WEEKS STRAIGHT. NO ONE EVER PICKS UP. I WAIT OVER 20 MINUTES EVERY SINGLE DAY. DOES ANYONE EVEN WORK THERE?? THEIR SERVICE IS PATHETIC. THEYRE INCONSISTENT WITH TIME AS WELL. PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE SHOULD DO MORE, IF THEY EVEN HAVE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE. PATHETIC PLACE. DONT GO

Ummmmmmm. Not sure what other people experienced here, but mine was far from enjoyable. Long waits, rude staff, lack of professionalism. Try North Lake or Richland. Campus needs renovating and staff needs evaluating.Better luck next semester.

Ive tried to get in contact with someone on the phone to get information about my transcript and no one answers!!! Theyre phone system is terrible!!! Please go somewhere else do your research this is not the only college in the world!!! After doing my research on this campus it really helped me check it out of my list.

My cousin is an international student transfering from South Korea. We had to wait 3 hours just to show them the acceptance form and passport. We waited another 2 hours just to show them the admission application. Then they told us to come back tmrw for the placement test. We waited 3 hours just to go over the test scores and make the schedule. They told us we needed to come back again tmrw because based on her score, her level for the writting course couldnt be determined. Are you serious? She got a score of zero. It doesnt take a genius to figure out that shes in level 1. As expected, she got placed in level 1. We waited another 3.5 hours just to hear that. We had to come here 4 days in a row. A week later, they email us saying that there is a problem with the schedule and that we need to come in to fix it. We go in to fix it, but the advisor tells us that theres nothing wrong with the schedule. The staff and advisors in the multicultural center are so slow and unhelpful. Waisted 12 hours of my life. I wish they will fix this problem.

This its the best community college in the Dallas aria and has up to date technology and is well organized

Worst DCCD community college out there. No windows, scenery, signs of life, happiness, ETC. Go to Richland if you want to enjoy your community college life!

Convenient, good professors, easy access to all buildings

Good college but could use more marketing and programs for people with GED, Language, and Social Services. College can be expensive but this place offers good discounts if you know how to find them.

Beautiful campus, and I love the jogging trail with the tunnel!

Great place to start or expand Your career!

I will not be going to school here because of ill-advisement by the faculty! They seem to not know what they are doing and give wrong advice. I do not feel like they wanted to help me get signed up to further my education. The African man in the Multi-Cultural Center - Pascale or what ever his name is, also told me that I could not register for classes at Brookhaven because of my pending Permanent Residency Status! Upon his dismissve words, I headed straight over to Richland College and was met with a TOTALLY DIFFERENT response! Not only was the faculty over there more accomodating, they helped me understand the process to register, and now I am accepted to Richland! Richland understands that your decision to further your education is a very important one, and they will advise you of ALL your options to achieve your goal. Thumbs up for Richland, and thumbs down for Brookhaven. Dont listen to these people with their dismissive words and attitudes to go with those. Dont take no for an answer, get a second opinion. Additionally, of you compare, you will find that the Brookhaven website does not offer extensive information about courses offered, or maybe they are just limited in the disciplimes that are taught there. There are seven colleges in the DCCCD! Pascale - go kick rocks with open toe shoes!

Top Educational Foundation for the next phase of my life, Thank You BH! =)

The campus here is probably the best of the DCCCD colleges. I havent had any problems enrolling or taking classes here. Quality of education is on par with other local community colleges and there is a greater range of available classes here than some of the other DCCCD colleges.This and the Richland campus are probably the two best DCCCD schools.

This place seems more like a high school with their free college credit program here. Would not recommend unless you are in high school and can come here for free.

I thought applying and getting enrolled in a four year university was difficult, but Brookhaven College seemed to make it more difficult. They are not conscious of time, inconsistent and it seemed they didnt care if I had a positive experience or not. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THOS COLLEGE TO ANYONE!

This community college is the Best in Dallas area...

Refused to communicate with me and rejected official transcripts keeping me from registering for classes.

I really like this college and teachers
