Good colleges in Irving?

Hey, I'm planning on staying close to Irving for college. Do you guys know any good colleges in or near Irving?

Sure, there are a few good colleges near Irving, Texas. One of them is the University of Dallas, which is actually in Irving itself. It's a private, Catholic university known for its liberal arts program. It also has schools for business and ministry if those fields are closer to your interests.

If you're looking for larger schools, you could consider the University of Texas at Arlington which is about a 30-minute drive. UT Arlington is a public research university with programs covering disciplines from engineering to nursing to social work.

Another school you could consider is Southern Methodist University located in Dallas, around a 20-minute drive from Irving. SMU has a strong focus on research, with numerous courses especially in the arts, humanities, and sciences. They merit recognition for their Business and Engineering programs as well.

Just remember, the best school for you will depend on the specific features you're looking for - like size, majors offered, and campus culture. I would advise visiting these campuses if you can and talking to students to get a feel for each school's atmosphere.
