College Advice |
Question: Im am attenting Eastfield College in Mesquite,Texas and i was wondering should i transfer to El Centro College?I attend Eastfiled College in Mesquite. I do not have a car and i take the DART bus. I have to catch the 37 Downtown Dallas then get off and catch the 466, then catch the 110 Eastfield College, i have to make 3 transfers. I know that El Centro is right downtown and the 37 goes right downtown and plus I heard that if you go to El Centro you ride DART for free what should I do help me out.9 months ago
Best AnswerMe. I would transfer. I pass by El Centro all the time and I have seen a big sign outside on the back that says, Students ride Dart Free. The train in right in front of the school too. I would so defenetly do it, but then again i like down town dallas and i live ear by, but i could understand some people may not be to comfortable with it. I would go one day on the bus or train just for thr heck of it and check it out and see how it is. bu t yes i think you should transfer. |
Question: Any good Apartments near El Centro College in Dallas, TX?Looking to find a place very close to ECC in Dallas, need recommendations, doesn't matter, the closer to the school the better. Thanks.13 months ago
Best AnswerHonestly, it will be a tiny bit hard to find something downtown that is affordable, unless you are rich, then I'd say absolutely you should live in a loft downtown because they are awesome. If you know where the M-Streets are - this area is chock-full of really adorable apartments/duplexes/fourplexes, etc. and they are pretty affordable. The M-Streets is the area south of Mockingbird Lane between (and a bit past) McMillan and Matilda. I hope you're familiar with the area so that I'm not just confusing you! I always see really adorable places with for-rent signs. You can even drive down Greenville Ave. or Matilda Street, I always see good places. It's about 5-10 minutes from El Centro, depending on traffic, but you can just take Greenville to Ross since El Centro is on Ross. I hope I didn't just confuse the heck out of you! |
