Weatherford+College+Offers+Alternative+to+Local+Community+College

Only 20 minutes outside of beautiful Fort Worth, Weatherford College is a great option for those looking to go to school in the DFW metroplex. Only a two year school, Weatherford has been around for more than 130 years and is great for students looking for a smooth transition into the college lifestyle.

Located in Weatherford, Texas, just west of Fort Worth, Weatherford College provides a small town feel even though it is located just outside the big city. The campus is on the small side and everything is within walking distance from each other. The dorms, Coyote Village, are located in the middle of all the action, with the campus, cafe, bookstore and gym on one side while the baseball and softball fields sit on the other side.

Weatherford College offers athletics as well. Baseball, softball, men’s and women’s basketball, rodeo, and cheer are offered and the Coyotes participate at the Division I level of NJCAA.Approximate student enrollment is 10,000 with about 61 percent being female.

The average student age is 24 and 99 percent of the population resides in Texas. Weatherford offers more than 35 areas of study for students to choose from and also features 19 professional/technical programs.

The college is located just down the road from multiple shopping centers and there are plenty of options for eating out.

Being close to Texas Christian University in Fort Worth offers thel opportunity to live a big college lifestyle, with the comfort of smaller classes and a smaller campus.

If you’re looking for a school that is far enough away from home to get away, or looking for somewhere to advance your athletic career and play at a high level all while staying cost effective, then Weatherford College may be somewhere for you to check out.
