Review of Hillsborough Community College

from Tampa, FL

Describe your college in three sentences.

This is the perfect transition from high school to college. You get a sense of the hustle and bustle of a busy university campus, without all of the stress of a university. Besides, why pay twice as much for your (in most cases) prerequisite classes?

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Pay close attention to the mandatory orientation: they have you go through it at your future campus for a reason. I drew my own map of the campus in a notebook and it actually helped me remember where different buildings are (at the Brandon Campus).

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

You're getting more than what you pay for. Since it's a community college, the price per semester is cut drastically, but you're still getting classes that are transferable to a university!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Did you slack off your senior year? Did you score really well on your SAT/ACT and still get rejected at a university? Well, you're in luck at HCC: they'll take you in, teach you, and send you off for to that university that rejected you for the last 2 years of your degree.
