Ariel’s Take on Blinn This is Ariel Johnson. She just graduated from Texas A&M. This is what she had to say about Blinn: “I enjoyed the small classes at Blinn. When I went to school there, the classroom size was about 30 students, so you didn't feel intimidated to answer a question in class or feel like you were inconveniencing the professor when speaking with them after class. I know that if students are looking for it as a gateway to A&M, it is an excellent school. There's a very favorable percentage of acceptance to A&M from Blinn, because admission staff at A&M and other universities are well aware of Blinn's curriculum. I noticed classes there were a lot more difficult than ones taken at Howard College, so I think they prepare students well for classes at the university level. …whenever I attended, attendance was required. So, it definitely taught me some good habits! All of my classes transferred very easily too. I took some of the more difficult classes…. Some of these classes at universities are made a lot more difficult for incoming freshman, so it was nice to get those out of the way in a smaller classroom setting. Overall, I enjoyed going to school there. The classes there definitely helped prep my study skills for A&M. ”
