Taylor - 03/27/2023

My experience at Harford community college has been very beneficial for me. With using my advisors for scheduling days to meet for resume talks, scheduling hours for course registration, allowing me to appeal my financial aid status because I’m an independent. The school has provided a huge amount of assistance through education and occupation. After leaving the college, they will have allowed me to finish my psychology AA and I can be very greatful after a lengthy college career.

Ike - 03/05/2020

Being at Harford Community College has been a experience, because they are currently preparing me for a four year school which i hope will be Frostburg State University. Another thing they have done well is mold a good majority of the students to have pride in the college.

Jarod - 11/10/2019

It is a very good school academically and Athletically. I love the class size there, there's usually around 20 students in a class. It makes it a very easy and enjoyable learning environment and the professors are always very easy to work with and get in touch with.

Briana - 10/04/2019

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

    Senior year will be a roller coaster, you will lose friends, you will find love, you will succeed in math, and you will be disappointed. Senior year was worth waiting for and now you are so close, just take a deep breath and pace yourself; just because you are accepted in a college doesn't mean it's time to give up. Learn to balance the close circle of friends, the new boyfriend (old best friend), and let go the friends who don't seem to want you anymore. Senior year will challenge you on an emotional level, but this wait will prove to be worth it. Because you will grow so much in such a short time.
