maeda - 10/01/2024

I think it's the best little community college a gyal could ask for. It's a quiet scene but most people are friendly, professors are overall really great, things are always clean, and of course there's a few decent food options. If that's not good enough for you, the bustling city of Lancaster is right down the street, and with access to quite a few local college libraries, like F&M, and three other campuses you can take HACC with you anywhere.

Kate - 05/19/2020

It's a very good campus. They have small class sizes and very intelligent professors who are very involved with their students. Even though HACC is a two year campus, students have been known to keep in touch with their professors after they graduate. As a nursing student HACC is in a great position for education. It is a very affordable program and have clinical at major health systems in the heart of South Central PA. Graduation sets students up for competitive positions at very prestigious institutions such as Hershey Medical Center and Penn Medicine.

Brielle - 04/19/2020

I love the school! I am able to earn my nursing degree at a competitive school as a cheaper rate than I would anywhere else. Majority of my professors so far have been extremely helpful and always encourage us to learn more. I have only had a negative experience with a professor once. She did not seem to care too much about the class and when students asked questions beyond the textbook she would say it is something we do not need to know. The cafeteria is fairly quiet and large. The library has plenty of computers for student use, and always quiet. The tutors in the tutoring center are amazing and explain concepts easily. Overall, I am happy with my decision to come to HACC and I know it was the right decision for me.

Kalina - 05/27/2019

It was a good stepping stone for those who'd like to save a bit of money for school. I wish there were more majors offered because I could've earned a couple more credits before I transferred. I love the professors though, they really keep the classes fun and engaging! The buses run right on campus so it is easy to get to and fro. I do wish there was a better fitness facility on campus. Food was okay I guess.

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

    I would tell myself to make up my mind. As a high school senior, I was not taking my education seriously and was undecided on my career choice. After I had my son, I was able to decide that education was important to me but with the extra responsibilities, it made things more difficult. I obtained my LPN with very good grades and I am now going for my RN. If I could talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to buckle down and put in the hours of studying and make a commitment to my education because it is very important.

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

    Honestly I cannot think of a lot that is wrong with this school. If I had to pick one thing that I really truly didn?t like about HACC I think it would be parking. There are never enough parking spots at the school. This can be a little bit of a hassle when trying to get to class on time. Other than that the school is generally a really good one I would recommend to anyone whether you are going to college for the first time, or coming back years later I think HACC has something for everyone.

  4. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    The Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC) is a great school. The Classes are reasonably small so this allows the proffers to be able to focus more time individually with students if they need it. The extra one on one time with the teachers is nice, in most cases the teachers generally care about how you?re doing and they want you to be learning all you can from them rather than just trying to get you through the class passing or not.

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

    The most frustrating thing about my school is they don't have on campus housing. Which means I have to commute to and from school which burns up gas and it burns up money that I don't really have to spend. Also finding parking is a real job you have to drive around the parking lot waiting and hoping someone is leaving class so you can park. I wish I could live on campus and just walk to and from my dorm to my classes and around the campus it would save time.
