This is my second semester at Hudson County Community College. My freshman year I attended New Jersey City University and I wish I would have went to Hudson County Community College from the beginning. Most high school students have a stigma against community colleges because they believe that the education is not as good and they believe that they aren’t as prestigious as other students who go to 4 year schools. The Professors at Hudson County Community College are amazing and I have never been so motivated about attending school. Not to mention that community college is so much more affordable as well. I would highly recommend this school to students who are undecided on what major they want to pursue or students who want to save money on their education.

It's been a pleasure to come here. I thought I would be seen differently for attending a community college, but this college is amazing. I grew up hearing negative comments about community colleges, not Hudson but in general. How they don't have activities, you go straight home after class where you might not be willing to go home and willing to do an extracurricular activity. I didn't let that get to my head as much, because here I am in Hudson Community College proving other people wrong. This community college gives you many different opportunities for different things. Also has many events you can attend to. With my experience at this community college, I can't complain. I feel totally comfortable.

I truly loved the school. To succeed you have to put in hard work. The isn't any sport teams or physical education but I still loved the school. My professors were nothing short of amazing and made me love and appreciate the hospitality and culinary industry.

I believe that Hudson County Community College is a great school. It provides you with the necessary tools for the courses one is taking. If you are struggling with being able to buy the required textbooks, the bookstore can rent them to you or your professors will let you know if it is available on websites like Amazon. Also there is a large variety of computer labs to be able to access the internet. However, I feel that there should be the same courses available at both campuses.

This is a good school but some changes could be made. For a commuter school, there isn't enough parking but public transportation is helpful. Not too great for those who don't live within Jersey City, especially since this school is open to all of Hudson County which is a big county. The buildings are too spread out and in a sketchy area which makes someone feel unsafe, even more for those who take night classes. The newer buildings are well maintained and up to date technologically but you can't say the same for the older buildings. Professors are of good quality.

The college is an adequate stepping stone for those who want to go back to school. Being a community college, the tuition is relatively affordable; the education is not something to write home about. Students come from a variety of backgrounds, and are generally decent people. Some professors are definitely a mess.

my overall opinion of Hudson county Community College is that the college is pretty good. the teacher have office hour that work with their student however, if the students by any reason cannot back these office other then they try to make time for the student to see them if they they need the help. They have a lot of event at the college like "Trunkin Thursday" which is a day they have food truck and they give out free food to the student for a limit of time.

I’m am currently not a student from that college but I’ve heard many good things about it. Many people have described it as friendly and many teachers are there to help. I rarely hear any bad thing about the school. So from what I heard and what I’ve seen I would say the Hudson is a place for you to learn and communicate with others. To feel like you are welcomed.

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

    Dear Ashley, You think right now that you know everything. You think right now that at 18 you are an adult capable of making big decisions. You think that you are ready to settle and marry and that college does not matter. You think any run of the mill college is great, you think none of the extra fluff matters. No need for any extracurricular activities. No need for internships. College is nothing more than an extension of highschool. You are wrong. You are 18 and life isnt over, it is just beginning. You are not an adult. The transition from child to adult is not as simple as the clock striking 12 am on your birthday. The college you pick does matter, those extracurricular activities are not just fun and games. They are important to your growth. You don't need to settle now. Make some friends, learn a few new things, and for goodness sake get an internship! You think you know everything, but there are no right or wrong answers in life. Remember you don't know all the answers and neither do I. Discover more and grow!
