I love Parkland: mostly excellent professors, with a few bad apples but that's every school. Hopefully you'll never have to experience them. You get what you pay for which is a quality education whether you plan on continuing on to uni or an Associate's degree. Math department is a little weak. Biology, nursing school, and the photography department were very good to me. Last time I set foot, they tore down the cafeteria. I hope they put something good in its place, like real food or something equally beneficial.
I also like their art shows: they always have decent shows in the gallery. The Prospectus is also a good newspaper to work for and read; at least it was when I was there. The editor and most of the staff has since left.
