I've been attending Hillsborough Community College since the Spring of 2024. I enjoy having many options for attending school and the wide variety of programs that the College offers,
I'm going for my Paralegal Associates Degree. I've been to other schools before but I like how Hillsborough Community College has made it so convenient to attend school remotely. It's easy to access my classes online and they also offer hybrid classes.
My professors have been knowledgeable and have went through the course material with us students thoroughly. I recommend HCC for any freshman, transfer students, or returning College students that have been out of the school scene for awhile, Hillsborough Community College provides the flexibility needed to finish your career and work or take care of your family.

As a full time student and also part time worker on the campus library, Hillsborough Community college has provided me great opportunities with a first time college experience and with a good academic preparations. I believe that starting at a smaller college can be important to understand how the system and classes work, instead of going straight to a big University.

Overall, my time here at Hillsborough Community College is pretty good. It's not the most flashy campus, and there's not a lot to write home about in terms of campus life or parties, but that's to be expected of a community college. It's a good school to get an associate's degree from before transferring to another university or moving into the workforce. The professors are mostly high quality and the students and clubs they provide offer a social aspect as well.
