Nadia - 11/17/2023

Hudson Valley is a welcoming community and does it's best to support it's students. In a world where college is too expensive and life is hard enough as it is, HVCC does it's best not to add to the burden. The school often offers free food for it's students and community members, as well as ways for students to enjoy life like discount movie tickets. They have many free textbooks and academic assistance programs and really stick by the goal of no student left behind. Hudson Valley is a great choice if making college affordable is sounding terrifying or even if you just want to stay closer to home for a few years, and it's a great stepping stone to the next journey in your life.

Abigail - 11/20/2021

There are so many different ways to get involved, from Student Government, to Art League. I always felt like my peers were encouraging me academically, and being a community college, there was a lot of diversity. I think it's great that so many people of different ages and races can come together and study.

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

    If I could give my senior self some advice about college, it would be to create study skill habits early starting senior year. Although college may seem to be a party time, it is also about how to be organized and how to stay prioritized. I would recommend using office hours with professors and sit in the front of the class so your professors reconize you and you pay attention. I would say there can alway be fun, but play comes after hard work. And in college there is a lot of hard work. I would recommend not waiting till the last minute to do assignments, because in college they will catch up with you. I would tell myself to also get involved. By taking advantage of the opportunities can and will help you succeed in many ways. I would say enjoy these four years, its the starting point to your life. Its a great place to take risks, make friends with different backgrounds and explore many opportunities.
