REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingToo many people feel that a community college will offer a sub par education compared to a four year university. The teaching staff here is excellent and I know that I am getting the same education as my friends at large universities. If anything, Black Hawk offers even more than a large university because of the opportunities for one on one time with professors. The only downside is the smaller number and decreased variety of classes offered here. But, this isn't a problem for people who just want to take take core or introductory classes.
A Student from IL

It does not forget, however, the importance of creating a fun atmosphere considering the numerous club, organizations and events offered to students of all types. Black Hawk College is also caring, as it takes specific actions to promote understanding, unity and compassion among students and accommodating to all.
Victoria from Moline, IL
There are many great instructors and professors on campus, but there are also several not so stellar ones. If you want a history class, sign up for Pearce! You won't regret it.
AC from Moline, IL
Through being here at Black Hawk East I have been able to take a major step into my future career as a large animal veterinarian. This college allows numerous of hands on activities, whether you are in their basic soils class or their animal science class. No matter what the teachers are always there to help. All the labs are hands on. Through this school you can castrate bull calves, soil sample, or even dock a piglets tail. It really is an extraordinary college to start your college life.
Emily from Poplar Grove, IL
I really didn't think that I'd like college, but I love it at BHC. Even if you don't think college is for you, take some classes and find out how much you love learning! I've had some really great classes, they're much harder than high school, and take commitment. This is the best transition school!
