I have been fairly content with my time spent at Hutchinson Community College. The professors are very engaged and informed, and are usually able to help outside of class. It is extremely affordable as well. There are a few issues I would address, such as the quality of certain buildings, but overall a great two-year school.

Hutchinson Community College has been a great experience for my first two years in college. The campus life is great, I loved walking out of class and finding different organizations offering free doughnuts and hot cocoa or there could be music pumping outside with inflatables and nachos waiting to be eaten. Although the many activities offered were very fun, my favorite thing is the quality of instructors that you get at this college. Each teacher is easily accessible and help make even the toughest of classes not seem so terrible. I love Hutchinson Community College and I am sad to be leaving it this spring.

I think that Hutchinson Community College has a great atmosphere, and they are affordable and do not have large class sizes. I believe that this college will be the place for me to go, and I know I will not be disappointed. I encourage anyone who is looking for an affordable community college to go to Hutchinson Community College, and you will be grateful you did. There are nearby restaurants and shops, and the housing is great- off campus or on. I can't stress enough how much I love Hutchinson Community College!

HCC is a great community college. It is affordable and have many academic opportunities. The class sizes are small so instructors are more personal. They all take their jobs seriously and genuinely wish the best upon each of their students. I have never had a problem while attending HCC.

Very small school, good for transitioning from small high schools. Teachers are not easy to work with and will not go out of their way to help you. Dorm life is expensive and football players in the dorms are intimidating. The library is open until 1 each night with opportunities for additional help with school work.

It's a small community college, class size is great, faculty is very understanding of needs etc. There is always fun things taking place on campus, career fairs, college recruitment days, church sponsored activities, fun days, community days, and of course games days. GO BLUE DRAGONS!!!

Hutchinson Community College is pretty decent for a community college. We have activities every so often and a nice amount of clubs for all the students to participate in. The classes are a nice size for students and teachers to become familiar with one another, and provide easy access to partake in any form of guidance for the student. But the cafeteria foods and the town itself, are possibly the only downsides of going to Hutchinson Community College. The food is not best( almost the worse) and the tiny town is more of a retirement area.

I am the first in my family to go to college in over 3 generations!! The instructors make me really enjoy myself and excited for the next days to come! The location is in such a great area. I feel safe where I am and I love the size of my class. We have so much fun while learning and I am so excited for the future!

I think that this college overall is a really good school. It has a variety of activities to get involved in. From new students or older students its easy to get involved and also has teachers who are always wanting to help. The staff were really friendly and always willing to help the students.

Hutchinson Community College (HCC) is a great place for students on a budget. Living in Hutchinson Kansas and attending HCC is just about the cheapest student living situation in the nation. Another great thing about HCC is teacher-student ratio. I myself have had classes as small as 10 students and have never had a class with more than 25 students! The downside to HCC is that the student life participation is slim to none. So if you want a place where it’s easy to just focus on school with no distractions, then HCC is the place to be!

My overall opinion is that it is a great college to attend, you can ask anyone they will say it a lot of fun there are many things to get involved with, if you live in the dorms it’s an automatic best friend! There are so many oppertunities, I can’t wait to get start on my classes in fall! And have the one on one teaching!

Honestly, Hutchinson Community College will save you a ton of money on tuition, but we must account for the negative aspects as well. The instructors mostly have you teach yourself, so you are just as good off taking online classes as the in-person ones.

I love HCC! The campus is so friendly and the staff is incredible. I'm excited to become an alumnus and start my career. I feel incredibly ready for my career path. I had a great experience in the dorms and I met some of my best friends at this college!

Hutchinson Community College (HCC) has allowed me to get an excellent and affordable education. I used to go to Wichita State University, then I went to Cowley County Community College and I definitely prefer HCC to those two. The campus at HCC is friendly and beautiful. I also have access to anything and everything I need. I'm thankful for the opportunities that HCC has given me, I only wish I did more with it!

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Start college right out of high school. Don't put it off for even a year. Work on you financial aid well in advance. Your guidence counselor should become your best friend in your senior year of high school. And don't worry about high school drama and pressure to be "cool." Once you're in college, none of it matters at all. Even if you didn't do that great in highschool, don't let that be an excuse. Do your best when you're in college and then your high school record doesn't matter at all.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
Any type of person should attend this fine institution due to the vast spectrum of classes and majors offered at Hutchinson Community College. It caters to those who may have both physical and mental disabilities comaprable to the highest in the nation. Numerous extra academic help opprotunities are offered through the campus that are assisted by fellow peers that can relate to the needs of the students.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish someone would've told me how much more work college is than high school. I honestly didn't think it would be this much harder. I am in my sophomore year at community college and if I could go back, I think i would put a little bit more effort into my studies. I really regret that i didn't try harder. If I were given a second chance to do over the last year and a half, I would take it in a heartbeat.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
When telling my friends how great my school is I can tell them so many great things. The great flexability of their scedules make it so you can be a student, a worker, a spouce, and a parent all at once. Also, the avalibility of teachers and counselors make it easy to get the help you need when you need it. They're willing to work with and understand life isn't always predictable.
Fellow classmates are studious and very serious about their studies. Whenever a topic is not is not understood to it's entirety questions are asked to better comprehend the subject material. All students create a great learning atmosphere with ituitive comments and answers to questions by the teachers during lecture hours.
The best thing about my school is that there are several locations available to take classes at and classes are also available online. The variety in school locations makes it much easier and more convenient to take classes that work with your schedule.
