Highland is a diverse campus and has many things to offer. One thing I would specify is that it is a Community College, meaning that you can only receive an associate or certificate degree. However, they work very well with other colleges for transferring. I think that it is a great place to start when unsure of your future. It is affordable, and also has many benefits. One is a small campus size. There are no dorms available for students.

Chicola

You wanna make new friends, have teachers to count on, and learn great exciting things highland is your go to college. Beware it is a two year community college and you will be able to get your associates degree. They also dont have dorms. Even though it's not a big four year university, you can find the same experiences and opportunities at Highland its self.

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

    If I could go back in time and talk to myself in high school I would tell myself things that wouldn't change what college I would attend but that things I would say would change the mindset that I have now. I would start off by telling myself not to worry about college because it will be amazing. Second I will tell myself to forget my high school crush because I do not need anything hindering my studies. Third study, study, study, don't procrastinate doing homework and make sure not to forget any homework. Write everything down so that it isn't forgotten. The most important thing that I would tell myself would be to make friends, don't be shy and just be myself. I will need friends and I can't be afraid to talk to people just because of what I think they might think. I would tell myself never to give up and always keep a clear and level head.
