About Richardson, Texas
Richardson is a city in Dallas and Collin counties in the U.S. state of Texas. Emigrants from Kentucky and Tennessee settled near present-day Richardson in the 1840s. Before the Civil War, a small settlement called Breckenridge, located near present-day Richland College, was established. The Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts is located in Richardson. It serves as the primary venue for the Richardson Symphony Orchestra and the Plano Symphony Orchestra. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?
