10 Students rated Heartland Community College

Mechele - 06/26/2020

I haven't been part of the Heartland student body for long but I do have to say that they have been absolutely wonderful so far. Coming from a very low income home they have been very helpful in pointing in the right direction in helping get ready to get back into school after 8 years away. The wonderful people of Heartland are beyond great!

Cole - 11/26/2018

Great!

beverly - 05/28/2018

My overall feelings of the school is below average. Classes may not be available when needed and limited time available. If there is a conflict with an instructor, the school appears to be concerned but ultimately will side with the instructor and say the issue is resolved. Never given a tour of the school and given an advisor. You pretty much need to do it all yourself.

Kailey - 05/18/2018

I think it is a perfect place to continue your education after high school or come back after being out of school for a while. You save money and get a quality education by coming to HCC. There is a small student to professor ratio which I like for extra help. And overall it is a beautiful campus!

    I think that the best thing about my school is the small number of students in the classrooms.

It is much easier for a small number of students to get along rather than a larger group. Therefore, the learning environment becomes greatly enriched and enjoyable to be in.

    Heartland Community College is best known for the qualitiy of education they offer, even though the school is a two year college. Their moto is "Get the Edge", which to me means that Heartland Community College wants to help their students through their first few years at college and help their students plan for their future transfer to a four year school. They are also known for their high amount of students that do go on to four year schools.

  9. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    Before I starting attending Heartland Community College, I wish that I would have had a better idea of what I wanted to study. I feel as though I did not plan out my courses very wisely. Within the past 5 months I decided on a major, but before that I was just taking classes that I thought would lead me in the right direction. They most definately did not lead me in the wrong direction, but I feel that If I would have chosen a major a year ago then I could have taken classes directed towards that major.
