I think Hartnell College is a great community college that allows students for growth. There are a lot of opportunities and programs and they’re mainly run by students, which are pretty great. It is very diverse and you get to meet a lot of different characters, which is fun. The professors are good for the most part, but it really just depends.

Hartnell is a very good College. There are plenty of ways to get involved and the professors are Outstanding. I totally recommend if you live in the area or out. The only negative about this campus is the fact that the campus is somewhat small, meaning only so many instructors can teach the same subject and at the same time, so early registration is very important.

Ariana

Hartnell College is a great campus because it offers small size classes, opportunities to get financial/academic assistance, a library with fast access to the internet. The faculty is kind to everyone and the janitors always leave the campus clean. Also, Professors keep in track with the syllabus and office hours.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    First of all I would remind myself that high school is the best time in your life. They are the best years that make you who you are going to be in the future. I would tell myself to enjoy every single year of it and to not take school for granted. To take care of yourself because high school is all about making choices, high school makes you who you are going to be in the future: whether you are going to be a mom, a student, or an employee. Most of us think that high school is not that important, but it is, your high school diploma and your GPA are what count the most. If I had only known that high school was not that hard, and that I only had to study to pass my classes with good grade, I would have done it, but I was too lazy back then. High school is not just about fooling around, or just relaxing back. It is a step towards your future, and right then when you finish high school is where you life starts and what you will make of it.
