14 Students rated Hocking College

Liliana - 10/15/2019

I love how hands-on it is! The classes are usually pretty small, only about twenty students, so we get a very intimate classroom experience, which is also great. Many of our classes also take place partially or completely in the field, where we can actually see and interact with what we're learning about. At least, that's how it is in the Natural Resources department. I'm not sure what the other fields of study Hocking has are like.

Audrey - 05/20/2019

I love Hocking College. The campus and class size are great for the area. They’re always making improvements to better the students and campus life. It’s easy to get in contact with someone that you need and they can easily answer your questions that you have.

ALAIN - 05/08/2019

hocking college is the best place to concentrate and study. there is not too much distraction and most of the time the environment on campus prone study. However, there is not enough quiet place in the library to concentrate, there are few quiet box space to study. Security campus is always there for us and ensures that we stay out of trouble.

Katelynne - 04/09/2019

There are many good things about Hocking, but there could be so many more positive things done at this school. I feel like everything is halfway done, and done with minimal effort by majority of the staff. There are amazing people that work here, but there are also professors who do the minimum of what is expected.

    If I could go back in time to talk to myself as a senior in high school, the advice I would give myself would be to apply for more scholarships. While I recognized the importance of scholarships, I feel like I did not have the resources or the tools to utilize scholarship opportunities that were available. I also would advise myself to try harder to find a job before graduating, to help with the initial expenses upon entering college.

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

    The importance of diversity and a well rounded education, before college, during and after. People change as they grow older and mature. It is completely impossible to dictate where life will lead or where interests will lead in the coming years. Knowledge that you now find irrelevent or even boring, could in the future be vital to your understanding at some point in your education. Gettin a background of all conceivable basics now is a small step up when confronted with new content and challenges. Be a sponge, not a brick dropping into only what interests you at the time.

  9. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about my school is that it is mostly a commuter school so I have to drive to school everyday instead of just being able to walk from the dorms or from a house close to campus. Another reason this is the worst thing is because it is always so hard to find a parking spot and you have to plan to go to class at least 20 minutes early to give yourself enough time to find a spot to park.

  10. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    The type of person who shouldn't attend Hocking College would be someone looking for the traditional, book based college expierience. Hocking college offers a very unique college expierience filled with hands on learning, real world job situations and activities out in the field. People looking for a traditional classroom setting and primarily booked based learning should not attend Hocking College because it really doesn't fit into that learning style those individuals may seek.

  11. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    I just took one semester ESL ( English as Second Language) classes at my school before i can start taking academic classes in spring 2014. Thus, the most frustrating thing about my school is that our ESL teachers would let students to take tests after the day they were supposed to take the test even if they don't have any justification for being absent. That really frustrated me because when i was in OPIE ( Ohio Program for Intensive English) at Athens campus, teachers never let students take test after the test day. for me it makes students irresponsible

  14. What are the academics like at your school?

    Hands on. I have made trips outside in just about every one of my classes. We are out in the woods and looking at, feeling, smelling and investigating the trees, animals and general lay of the land. That of course is but one major. There is Equestrian, public safety, fire fighting, EMT, Culinary, Hospitality and Nursing programs. The main focus is in the Natural Resource Department. Its fun to go to class. Also there is a Canada Trip that I will hopefully partake in.
