Hillsborough Community College Top Questions

About the different types of classes to take in order to finish your degree quicker.

One thing I wish I knew before I started college is that it is much different than high school. The lessons are much more challanging and the teachers are not going to remind you of when an assignment is due.

I wish that I had made myself more familiar with the courses offered. There are many options to get credit towards your degree and I moved too quickly to select a course without considering all of the options. Spend more time with your advisors and ask a lot of questions. It is free to spend time with them and learn about the courses available.

i wish i would have known that i could have taken Dual enrollment in hogh school to get an early headstart in college.

How easy it was to manuever around and how easy they (the staff, teachers) make it for you to get a quality education, also how they care about you getting your eduation.

Stafford unsubsidized loans arent good.

I wish I would have known how awful the parking is.

I wish I had paid attention to how far I would be traveling every day to get to the school. I am just over 20 miles away, and I have to travel to the school 4 days a week, but I cannot complain. It's a good school.

I wish i would have known about Ratemyprofessors.com. If i would have known about it before, I could have avoided a VERY tough and boring professor. I also wish i would have known how much financial aid there is that is available to me. In my first two semesters I have spent a huge amount of money on books and left over fees that my current scholarship did not pay for. Another major thing i wish i would have known is the parking situation. It is pretty hard to find a spot between 9:30 am and 11.

I would think college would be harder, but community college is similar to my senior year. Everything is easier than expected. I wish I've known about the type of classes they had, there isn't an abundance of options so it is harder to choose which classes I would like to take. In addition, I always liked to challenge myself, but with the lack of classes, it is harder to make committment.
