REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingGoing to Hocking College is one of the best choices I have ever made in my life. The location is beautiful and there is a lot of outdoor activities to do. Also, the faculty and staff are super nice and super helpful when you do ask for help and provides hands-on learning. Which a lot of other colleges do not.

hocking is a wonderful school, especially for nursing students. i chose this school because they have a one hundred percent passing rate on their bar exams. i would choose this school all over again if i had to redo it.
Amber from Lancaster, OH
Lots of hands-on info and learning for people in the natural resources field--can't speak for other majors.
Anna from Wooster, OH
Hocking is a great college to attend. It may be small but that allows for you to have a better chance of getting one on one time with your instructor if you ever need help. Especially is you are looking for any program in the natural resources field you have found the right place, Hocking is Nationally ranked for their natural resources programs.
