i have not attended this college yet, but i am currently graduating high school and will be enrolling in hillsborough community college for the fall semester. this college has interested me due to its care for their students, its low cost, and the amount of other students who have had a positive experience going here. i am moving all the way from michigan to florida to be attending this college. i researched their dental hygiene program and saw the high success rate, and the amount of graduates with associates degrees.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
i would highly recommend this college for other students. the close campus to jobs and exercise facilities is very convienent, and the cost is very feasible. my brother is actually already interested in going once he's in college just from me telling him about the college. i would rate this school five stars for the help there when i went on a visit everyone was welcoming with open arms and big smiles across their face excited to show me their campus and different programs offered.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
hillsborough college is a community college and really gives the chance to get those core classes out of the way so that if your previous/ current gpa isn't where it should be you can raise your grades and your academic scores and gpa.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
dorm life here at this college is a little different because it's a community college it does not have dorms, but it does have campus housing directly across from the college. the apartments are very convienent, very safe and very affordable. i will be living in one beginning in august.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
food and dining is great due to the fact that the college is right in tampa it's right by all of the delicious restaurants down the street with variety of choices. if spending money on fast food/expensive resturaunts isn't for you they do have grocery store to pick out healthy affordable food choices for you and maybe even your roommates.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
luckily this college is right by everything and fun surrounds the campus. directly across from the housing is the tampa buccanerrs stadium so if sunday nfl football is on your mind (you probably hear the game going on). sports are offered at hcc such as baseball and basketball. it's fun to get out of the house and go enjoy some sunshine and relax while watching sports. the college is right around the corner from the malls, and the beach is only a 20 minute drive or so. there are lots of places to exercise and let your mind unwind after an exhausting week of finals!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
incrediable faculty and community! as i mentioned this already, but i am driving all the way from michigan to florida for this college it really caught my eye. i am beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to go to college there this year.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
as of right now i haven't heard of any, but i am sure i would find that out the first week of college!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
the college is great for students who do not have the money or the grades for a four year university right away. this college helps you to figure out your future while meeting friends and saving money to stay out of debt, and pay for the college.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
clubs and activities are everywhere there are lots of study groups and clubs who get together and meet frequently to help hold eachother accountable and stay caught up in classes. there are people who get together and play sports and exercise together, and there are people who just get together to hangout and go see a movie every now and then. college is full of all different diverse people with different goals and interests.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
campus feels so safe as soon as entering the housing on the campus there are body guards and security guards watching the campus. it is a gated community with cameras everywhere. i couldn't feel any safer that also helped me to lean towards this incredible college.
