Laila - 01/29/2020

Highland was a safe option for me because it's close to home and very affordable. They have phenomenal sports teams which is also another great financial opportunity given that there is no out-of-state tuition. The student to teacher ratio is small which makes it a great learning environment for students like me who sometimes need the help but are afraid to ask. Recently a video was released about Highland Community College depicting the racism at the school, Highland is a school that is full of students of all races which can be represented on about any sports team. The real problem I have with Highland is some of their campus security, my friends and I sometimes notice security driving by our dorm about 5 times in roughly 10 minutes. We've also encountered security following us around campus. I am not against campus security, but I am against some of the people affiliated with HCC's security. Overall, Highland is a great school for anyone and even though there isn't much of anything to do in Highland the school hosts many events to keep students entertained. It's also a great way to get general studies out of the way if you intend to transfer.

DeAviance - 09/29/2019

My overall opinion on Highland Community College is that it can be a great school. If you plan on attending I highly recommend scheduling a tour so you know exactly what you are getting yourself into. Most people come expecting something bigger than what it is. If you like a small class sizes and a more family-like environment this a school for you.

Michelle - 07/17/2019

I enjoyed my professors who were knowledgeable and approachable. They truly wanted us to succeed. When we weren't able to attend class they allowed us to receive and complete notes and assignments early, as well as caught us up when ill. They contacted students that hadn't shown up for class on a caring basis rather than an assignment hound.

Luc - 03/01/2019

I really love the community I've found through Highland! I work two part-time jobs as well as having to do full-time school. The opportunity to do online classes has been a game changer for me. The teachers are open and receptive to feedback and are great resources!

  6. Why did you decide to go to this school?

    I decided to attend here at Highland Community College-Highland because of the Athletic Training Scholarship. This scholarship covered half of my school and all I had to worry about was paying for my housing and having money to spend to purchase some items. The athletic training scholarship allows me to work with the athletic training department to gain knowledge on becoming a successful athletic trainer. Plus I get to work with nearly all the sports that Highland has to offer, primarily in football as I sometimes get to travel with the football team as they go compete at games.

    The school is older so all the furnature is used and abused and it makes it hard to concentrate in a class when you sit in an uncomfortable chair at a folding table with a huge chunk taken out of it right where you rest your arm as you write. There is also a small area for students to study while they wait for classes with minimun out lets for laptops.
