Michael

Overall good experience. Instructors and facility staff easily available. The nursing program is challenging but you walk out of there knowing what is important. Still talk to several of my instructors and ask advice from time to time.

Hannah

I am currently a senior in high school but I have visited the Big Spring Campus multiple times. My dad used to work at the college so I was able to walk around and talk with students about the classes. I am extremely interested in attending Howard College as soon as I graduate this year and already have a plan. I wouldn't be living on campus but I am very pleased with all Howard has to offer. I feel like this is my dream school and this is my first choice in colleges.

Mireya

I am a dual credit student at Howard College and have been for about 3 semesters. I, personally, do not feel safe being alone on campus. The classes are easy (not sure if that's a good thing or not). The professors are really flexible, friendly, and helpful.

Daunaven

I feel as though Howard College is a great college if you don't want to deal with a lot of people and not spend so much money on tuition. The San Angelo campus doesn't have on campus housing so students are responsible for their own housing. The professors are really nice and helpful.

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

    For the love of GOD, apply for scholarships early!!! It makes things so much easier, and there wiill be much less wailing and sorrow! So many fights with your parents could have been avoided, Kandra. They're not going to help you pay for college anyway; so, you may as well help yourself. Save yourself some trouble and loads of stress. Apply early! Also, don't take online classes because, apparently, you have no motivation whatsoever to do any work unless you are told by a teacher whom you can actually see, hear, and be afraid of. Stick with what you're used to, honey. You're an auditory, visual learner, and don't you forget it!

  3. What's unique about your campus?

    I think the best thing about this school is the classes you will take. The offer a wide variety of classes for just being a junior college. These classes here you actually learn in them. You take challenging classes but nothing that no one can handle. The classes here just make you think and use your own head, instead of being spoon fed all the answers. Also the classes are put in to real world experiences so you can relate to them so much more. I love the classes here and i wish all of mine would be like this.

  5. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    What I thought was unique about this school compared to the others I visited were the people. Everyone on this campus is sincerely nice and caring. They all have smiles on their faces and care about everyone who is at this campus. I just loved how every single professor truly cared about their students and their success after Howard. It’s amazing, not one of the professors here acted like they could care less if you were in their class, or even try to make their students quit. All professors hated when a student had dropped or failed their class.

  8. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    It's not actually in Big Spring... Howard College has a campus in San Angelo (where I actually live and am going to college at said campus.) It's really annoying to try to apply for a scholarship when the school won't actually show up in the given list.
