About Blinn College District
Overview, location, and what makes it stand out
Blinn College was founded in 1883 and is the oldest county-owned community college in Texas. Its Bryan campus sits beside Texas A&M, and its co-enrollment program moves students into the university, which is why a far larger share of its students transfer than at most community colleges.
