HCCC is my best decision to complete my high education. HCCC has wonderful faculty, stuff, teachers and environment. The college welcome their new students wonderful. Various resourceful and beneficial certificate and/or degree majors are offered. I definitely recommend HCCC to friends, family, and my community.

Ana

Hudson County Community College is in a very urban community. The staff is efficient, I have never had any issues with the staff. Overall I have love for my school because it is the college I chose to start at, that's what community college is, a start.

Cindy

I enjoy the small class sizes at Hudson County Community College; they are very small and better for students so that even the shyest student would be encouraged to participate. The professors are always welcoming to questions and constantly remind us that it is more than okay to be at community college. They tell us that we are not falling behind our friends who are attending four year colleges and that we are at the same level as they are. I wish that school activities were a lot more announced so that people would get involved more. I enjoy the convenience of the location of my school because you have lots of food choices around you, many pharmacies, convenience stores, and public transportation that is nonstop. The downside about the location is the parking and how ridiculously difficult it is to find a spot and how expensive it can get if you drive to school every day. Another thing I can say about my school is that the advisors are almost never available immediately and it takes at least 2-3 hours just to talk to one. They don't really advise you on your future, really just on what classes to drop and which to keep. I wish HCCC was better in that aspect, but overall it is not a bad school.

Samuel

Hudson County Community College is exactly what it needs to be. A place where education is cheap and the classes are small. It is meant for people coming back to school, want to get their associates first or those who are looking to get a few requirements done for cheap. There are no amazing extra-curricular activities, but that is okay.

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

    Dear Ashley, You think right now that you know everything. You think right now that at 18 you are an adult capable of making big decisions. You think that you are ready to settle and marry and that college does not matter. You think any run of the mill college is great, you think none of the extra fluff matters. No need for any extracurricular activities. No need for internships. College is nothing more than an extension of highschool. You are wrong. You are 18 and life isnt over, it is just beginning. You are not an adult. The transition from child to adult is not as simple as the clock striking 12 am on your birthday. The college you pick does matter, those extracurricular activities are not just fun and games. They are important to your growth. You don't need to settle now. Make some friends, learn a few new things, and for goodness sake get an internship! You think you know everything, but there are no right or wrong answers in life. Remember you don't know all the answers and neither do I. Discover more and grow!
