What is your opinion of HCC?

by DillyC

Hello,

I am currently looking into different schools. I was a nursing I student at Lone Star - North Harris and really enjoyed it however I did drop due to personal reasons. Now that it is application season once again, I am considering looking at other options just in case I need them, and also because I know I would get more financial aid if I attended HCC. It is far from me but if it is worth it and the instructors are as great as they are at North Harris, it would be beneficial for me to attend. Please let me know your honest opinion.

Thank you very much for your help

I graduated from HCC recently. I enjoyed it at first but we lost a couple of great teachers which made it hard on the staff and us students. The Hesi Exit test was poorly executed alot of us failed the first few times and some failed out (3 times). I think they need to revamp the whole process. The Dean is mean and has no sense of any kind of feelings. The teachers are not supportive of the students to back them up. Some instructors are there for the students some not so much. I'm not sure I would recommend going to HCC. It turned out to be a nightmare for me at the end. I sure wish it was more positive. Good luck whatever you decide.

I was accepted there but ran as fast as I could after the Pharm classes. The staff was rude and unbearable. Couldn't stand the director (some guy) and Mary, the secretary was a grumpy woman who obviously hated her job. Was not an environment I wanted to be at.
